We begin with a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your custom home or design concept, budget, and timeline. Contact us through our website to schedule a meeting and begin the process of turning your vision into a functional, cozy, personalized living space.

An as-built survey is the field measurement process — capturing the existing conditions of a space or building. A measured drawing is the deliverable produced from that data: dimensioned plans, elevations, and sections in CAD or PDF. One is the fieldwork; the other is the document.

Our full-service deliverable package typically includes comprehensive site analysis, visionary initial concepts (schematic design), detailed floor plans, exterior elevations, sections, and professional 3D renderings for both interior and exterior spaces.

Our process centers entirely on your needs. We start with your initial ideas, developing them into visionary initial concepts. We then provide continuous collaboration and use state-of-the-art captivating 3D renderings to ensure you see, approve, and feel confident in the design before any work begins.

ATXDesign focuses exclusively on providing expert design, visualization, and documentation preparation. We do NOT handle the final approvals.

Due to local regulations in New York City and Westchester County, all construction documents for submission must be certified and filed by a licensed Architect or Engineer. You will be responsible for engaging that licensed professional who will review our detailed architectural drafting, certify the plans, and handle the final submission to the municipality. We prepare the necessary technical documents for them.

If your project changes structure, egress, or building systems, New York requires drawings stamped by a licensed architect or engineer. Interior renovations, layout studies, and finish work usually don't. The design and documentation work is the same either way, we produce that package, and coordinate with the licensed professional when a stamp is needed.

Rendering pricing depends on scope: the number of views, interior versus exterior, level of detail, and whether modeling is built from existing CAD or from scratch. Most residential projects are quoted per view or as a package after reviewing the plans.

The cost is determined by several factors, including:

• The Number of Views: How many final rendered images you need (e.g., one exterior view vs. three interior perspectives).

• Complexity of Model: Whether the render requires extensive new 3D modeling of custom furniture or landscaping.

• Turnaround Time: Expedited deadlines will impact the fee.

We can provide photorealistic 3D renderings for any scope of work, and you will receive a custom quote based entirely on the specific visualization requirements of your project.

The investment for our custom residential design and detailed architectural drafting services is highly dependent on the specific needs of your project. Since every ultimate, custom living space is unique, we do not use flat, pre-set fees. The typical fee is 50$/hr unless it’s a smaller job where a flat fee would make more sense.

Factors that directly determine your design fee include:

• Scope: Whether you need a new custom home concept, a major addition plan, or focused luxury interior designs.

• Complexity: The intricacy of the design, the level of detail required for drafting, and the unique features involved.

• Deliverables: The number of plans, sections, and the number of photorealistic 3D renderings requested.

Our Focus on Fair Pricing: As we focus on building strong client relationships in NYC and Westchester County, we are currently offering very fair, project-specific pricing. After our initial consultation, you will receive a customized proposal that clearly defines the scope and the fixed investment for our design work before any drawing begins.

A digital twin is a navigable 3D model of the building generated from drone imagery, where each defect is pinned to its real-world location. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of loose photos, an inspector can click a location on the model and see the condition documented there.

Drones can perform the documentation and visual survey portion of a facade inspection, but the FISP filing itself must be signed by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI). In practice, drone survey data — full perimeter imaging, photogrammetry, and condition documentation — is supplied to the QEWI or engineering firm that files the report.

With RTK-corrected positioning, survey accuracy reaches approximately 9 cm GPS precision, with 4K imagery capturing crack, spall, and joint conditions at close range. Accuracy depends on flight distance, overlap percentage, and ground control. The output is a measurable 3D model, not just photographs.

Yes. Commercial drone operation in the United States requires an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Flights in controlled airspace — which covers much of New York City — also require LAANC authorization or an airspace waiver before the flight.
