Caddworks is a residential design and drafting service, providing creative home design development and reliable permit drawings for custom homes, production homes, additions and renovations. We provide our service to individual homeowners as well as to home builders, renovation contractors and real estate developers. Our team of residential designers and draftsmen are dedicated to making each project a success, knowing that every project done well leads to our continued success through referrals.
Our design process begins by effectively communicating with our client. Obtaining a clear understanding of the client’s design objectives and criteria is a vital starting point for any project. Our systematic progression of simple design drawings that evolve into more elaborate and detailed drawings is achieved by means of interactive design meetings, sketching, and several stages of progress drawings generated utilizing AutoCAD CAD software. Each step of the process involves our active listening and careful interpretation of the client’s requirements, while incorporating many years of experience in understanding homebuilding technology, conventions, codes and standards.
Many of our clients have purchased home plans from the internet or have assembled photographs and examples of homes they admire portions of. Caddworks will refine and/or mature these existing plan ideas into a set of house plans that incorporate all the desired features and aesthetics while incorporating appropriate construction methodologies, local building conventions, building code compliance, and desired construction materials and products. Our licensed structural engineer consultant assists us in assuring the structural integrity, constructability and code compliance of your project.
Caddworks is also continually developing its own home plan library, whereby a client can save time, money and potential frustration by modifying a pre-designed set of home plans; as opposed to starting “from scratch.”
Our Addition and Renovation projects have ranged from simple porch or deck additions, basement plans, kitchen renovations and garage additions, to whole house renovations; including second story “pop-tops,” “extreme makeovers,” and historic renovations.
The geographical areas in Maryland that we service regularly are Frederick County, Montgomery County, Washington County, Carroll County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County and Prince Georges County. We have also completed several projects in Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. On rare occasions we’ve had the opportunity to follow our clients to other states such as North Carolina and even the Riviera Maya in Mexico.
If you are in the process of considering a new home, addition or renovation we hope you will consider Caddworks as your design and drafting service. We gladly offer a free initial meeting to introduce ourselves, discuss your project scope/objectives and to provide you with a fee proposal. Please call us at 301-695-9121 or email design@caddworks.net to schedule an appointment.
