Frequently asked questions
- How much does a 2D floor plan cost to have drafted?
- Budget $60–$200 per plan for a straightforward residential floor, more where dimensions must be derived from photos or an unmeasured sketch. Hourly, that is $25–$70 in the US and EU and $12–$28 from drafters in MENA, Africa and South Asia.
- What should I send to get an accurate floor plan?
- Send measured dimensions, wall thicknesses, ceiling heights, a north arrow and the units you work in. Plans drafted from unmeasured photos always need a second pass, so measuring once before briefing is cheaper than paying for the revision round.
- How fast can I get a floor plan back?
- With complete inputs and a supplied template, 24–48 hours for one single-storey plan is normal, and a ten-plan batch typically finishes within a week. Missing dimensions, not drafting speed, is the usual reason a plan takes longer.
- Do I get the editable CAD file?
- Ask for it explicitly in the brief: native DWG plus issued PDF. Some low-cost providers deliver PDF only, which forces you to pay again for any future change instead of editing the drawing you already commissioned.
