Architecture plans timeline

[Anthony Caiafa]

how long do you usually wait for plans to be drawn up and completed?

[Aaron McGinnis]

Depends on the type of plans. Simple interior renovations with no exterior work we typically turn out in a week or two. Exterior work generally 2-3 weeks, big additions maybe 3-4 weeks, new construction about the same as big addition.

We've got two different survey companies, a cheap one and an expensive one. The cheap one takes about 3-4 weeks, the expensive one is generally around a single week. Work is comparable. Site plans, generally 1-2 weeks. (We like to get the surveyor to do the site plans for additions and new construction)
