Permit-ready drafting for Hayward ADUs, additions, remodels and new homes — drawn to fit Hayward's zoning rules, from flatland bungalows to hillside lots.
Hayward's housing stock runs wide — older bungalows on flat, regular lots, mid-century tract homes, and hillside properties with real grade change, often on the same street. That range means the drafting approach can't be one-size-fits-all: a hillside lot needs grading and drainage thought through before floor plans get drawn, while a flatland bungalow addition is usually more straightforward once setbacks and lot coverage are confirmed. Hayward's relative affordability compared to the South Bay also means we see a lot of ADU and rental-unit interest here — homeowners adding a second unit for income, for family, or both. We draw against your lot's actual conditions and Hayward's current zoning and ADU standards, not a generic template.
Detached, attached and junior ADU plans sized and sited to Hayward's setback, height and lot-coverage rules, with state ADU allowances applied — a common project here given strong rental and multigenerational demand.
Room and second-story addition drawings coordinated with Hayward's height standards, including extra site analysis for hillside lots where grade affects the design.
Interior and exterior remodel drawings for kitchens, baths and whole-house renovations, including scope that triggers a full plan check submittal.
Ground-up custom home drawings and garage-to-living-space conversions prepared for Hayward submittal, on flatland and hillside lots alike.
We review your lot, existing structure and goals, and confirm zoning constraints — including grade and drainage on hillside parcels — specific to your Hayward property.
Full construction drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details — prepared to Hayward's submittal checklist.
Energy compliance and, where needed, structural review coordinated into the same submittal package.
If the city comes back with corrections, we revise and resubmit — we don't disappear after the first drawing set goes out.
Two decades drawing plans for Hayward and the surrounding cities, not a generic national template.
Drawings prepared under professional design standards, not just CAD line work.
We draw for your lot's actual grade and conditions, not a flat-lot assumption applied everywhere.
You work directly with the person drawing your plans, from first sketch through plan check corrections.

It depends on the project. Many single-family ADUs, additions and remodels in Hayward can be permitted with drafted plans alone, but structural elements — retaining walls, second-story additions, hillside foundations, some new construction — often require a licensed engineer's stamp. We'll tell you upfront whether your project needs one, and can coordinate engineering review as part of the drawing package.
Yes. Hillside lots typically need grading, drainage and sometimes geotechnical input worked into the drawings before floor plans are finalized, which flatland lots usually don't require. We flag this during the site walk so it's planned for from the start instead of surfacing as a plan check correction later.
Most Hayward single-family and multi-family lots qualify for at least one ADU under state and local rules, subject to setback, height and lot-coverage limits that vary by zoning district and, on hillside parcels, grade. We confirm eligibility for your specific parcel during the site walk before we draw anything.
Turnaround varies by submittal volume and project scope — simple ADU plans on flat lots move faster than hillside projects or full remodels. We can't promise a city timeline, but we can promise your drawings won't be the reason for a correction cycle.
Both, if you want it bundled. We prepare Title 24 / CF1R energy compliance documentation alongside the architectural drawings so the whole package is coordinated and submitted together — see our Title 24 & CF1R services for details.
A site address, rough scope of what you want to build, and — if it exists — a copy of your current property survey or existing floor plan. If you don't have a survey, we can help you get one — this matters especially on hillside lots.
Tell us what you're building and we'll get back to you with next steps — usually within one business day.
