Plan Your Project
Nobody can bid your job without a drawing. Neither can the county. Tell me what you're thinking and I'll sketch it up.
Compare bids honestly
Three contractors looking at three different mental pictures give you three numbers you can't compare.
Start your permit
Cowlitz County won't take a permit application without a drawing. This is where most projects stall.
Thirty years of it
I've built these and pulled the permits for them. The sketch comes from someone who's swung the hammer.
Send your request
Your name, phone, email, city, what you are building, rough size, attached to the house or freestanding, an optional photo of the space, and the best way to reach you. One picture tells me the grade, the access, and what is already there. It makes the sketch far more accurate.
A project sketch is a scaled concept layout — enough to compare bids and start a permit conversation. It is not an engineered or stamped drawing.
