BEFORE THE ARCHITECT – UNIQUE HOME DESIGN AND UNIQUE HOME DESIGN DRAWINGS
UNIQUE HOME DESIGN CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
"Architecture is a bag of air, until the dirt and sawdust start to fly. True designers, the truly creative arrive in beat up vans and pickup trucks." AG

These are the pictures with which unique home design builders and other unique home design contractors work. These are the unique home designs and unique home design drawings – all sorts of them represented as unique home design construction drawings – most commonly associated today with unique home design building and redesigning houses and light commercial structures as in interior build out and tenant build out design.
 | Plans & Elevations from rough to finished, interior and exterior, the most commonly recognized as unique home construction drawings. Plan views show how things are arranged when you're looking straight down on them. Elevations show how things are arranged when you're looking straight at the sides of them. |
| Cross-Sections of almost anything to show how things go together, how building elements are layered next to each other even when you can't see them once the building work is done. |
| Schematics of what major utilities go where — all to make it clear where lights go and where to put the switches that control them; where the heating and cooling system ducting goes in your house and what controls it; where water pipes and valves must go and where the water will drain, etc. |
| Details of things necessarily to be built in a certain way to avoid confusion, work delay, misapplication, a faulted warranty, an hysterical consulting engineer, or a bent-up inspector. |
Most of these unique home designs and unique home design drawings are in 2D designs, not showing any depth perspective. That's because, until recently, it has been very difficult – it took a lot of time and money – to draw 3d designs: so, most designing and drafting had to be done by hand. With the advent of better and better software for better and better computers, both 2D and 3d design drawings have become much easier.
Now don't get the old Autocad Granddad wrong. Drawing anything much on a computer is not a hi-tech walk in the park. It's just easier than it used to be — faster, cheaper. In useful detail and across numerous kinds of drawings, all you have to do these days to draw on a computer in, say, 3d design ways is 1) pony up thousands of dollars, and 2) learn the barest basics by intense study and practice for months and months. Then, you can draw a sand box. It'll take a while longer to quickly layout a perspective on that half-circle staircase design in the Villa Savoye (a notorious tutorial in Autocad 2006) . . . still gives the Autocad Granddad the fits. Then, after the heaps of money and time, there's the hands-on building experience you've got to have by the boat load so as to disport yourself credibly. Unique home designing and building well puts to work strong backs and strong minds.
Anyway, some folks can draw on a computer and the Autocad Granddad is one of them. He just keeps it simpler than most. And he has spent most of his adult life on both sides of the building tracks — needing things designed and built; doing the designing and building. Whichever side you're on, tell the old boy what you need.
