baucis & philemon is on the line

one call gets you the sheet list, a flat price and a start date for your set.

Got an address and an idea? That’s enough to start. Call Wednesday through Sunday and hang up knowing exactly which drawings your town wants and what they’ll cost — and not one line gets drafted until you say go.

Desk open now — call until 5pm ET

Not sure how to start the call?

open with one sentence — we’ll take it from there

You don’t need drafting vocabulary to call a drafter. Say what you’ve got and what you want. Here’s what comes back across the line.

  1. You say

    “there’s a two-car garage behind my house and I want it to be a rental.”

    You hear back

    Which sheets your town wants for a change of use, whether your egress windows need resizing, and a flat price — the conversion set starts at $1,385.

  2. You say

    “I want a new cottage out back, somewhere around 600 square feet.”

    You hear back

    Your setbacks, height cap and ADU size limit, read off your town’s code during the call. The backyard ADU set at $2,740, with a full first draft 10 business days after your lot packet lands.

  3. You say

    “I build the same 480-square-foot model on every lot I buy.”

    You hear back

    Repeat-model redraws at $640 per new lot, your standard details dropped into our title block, and revisions back in 2 business days.
