Common Uses in Aventura
Local Intelligence
What Aventura Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Aventura — Building Division will not accept a permit application without them. Aventura's current ADU size cap is 1,000 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Aventura does not impose an owner-occupancy requirement, so you can rent both the main home and any ADU or conversion as investment units.
0Permit Process & Fees
Building Division permit fees for this project type typically range from $12,300 to $24,800 depending on project valuation and scope.
Floor plans submitted to Building Division as part of a permit application must include a site plan, floor plans, all four elevations, an electrical plan, and energy compliance documentation — plus if structural changes are involved, a licensed engineer must stamp the structural drawings.
Visit Building Division ↗Construction Cost Context
Aventura's adu / renovation construction costs run $210–$360 per square foot — a wide range driven by labor markets, local code complexity, and finish level. Our drawings are priced at a fraction of what a full-service architect would charge to produce the same permit set.
⚠ Common Pitfall in Aventura
Because most of Aventura sits within Miami-Dade's coastal building zone, your ADU plans need a Coastal Development review layered on top of the standard Building Division submittal, and that extra sign-off typically adds 3-5 weeks before you even get to the 5-8 week plan review clock. Since almost every property in Aventura is governed by a condo association or HOA master deed (think Turnberry-area communities), you'll also need written HOA architectural approval before the city will accept your application — and some associations meet only monthly, so missing that meeting date can cost you a full extra month. On top of that, older homes near Country Club Drive often have undersized water laterals, so Miami-Dade Water and Sewer may require a separate meter upgrade application that runs on its own timeline, completely outside the city's permit process.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Aventura projects, that per-square-foot cost figure is really a state-level estimate rather than anything specific to our local labor and materials market, so I'd strongly encourage getting two or three local contractor quotes before budgeting; and since coastal overlay applies here, factor in real time for the CDP review — that process alone has added months to projects I've shepherded through, regardless of what the base permit timeline suggests."
Market Context
Aventura has a median home value of $450,000. Comparable renovation projects in this market typically add 25% to resale value.
Neighborhoods in Aventura with the strongest renovation and resale value potential include Country Club Estates, Aventura Lakes, Highland Woods, Golden Shores, Golden Pointe. Aventura's densest RS-1 single-family enclave south of Aventura Blvd with British-Colonial homes on 7,500–15,000+ sq ft lots walking distance to Aventura Hospital, Aventura Mall, and Turnberry — the highest SFH-per-acre ratio in the city and confirmed RS-1 (ADU-permitted).
Permit Process

Common Questions
Aventura Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Aventura? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Aventura's building department for any structural work), refinancing or home equity loans, selling your home (accurate square footage documentation), renovation contractor bidding, HOA design review submissions, and insurance claims. Our as-built drawings capture your home's exact current dimensions.
What is an as-built floor plan and why do I need one in Aventura? +
An as-built floor plan documents your home as it currently exists — including all room dimensions, door and window locations, wall thicknesses, and square footage. These are required when the original permit drawings are unavailable or the home was modified without permits. Aventura's building department requires accurate as-builts when you apply for renovation or addition permits on older homes.
How much does floor plan drafting cost in Aventura? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Aventura cover measured floor plans for all levels, room labels, door and window schedules, and verified square footage. Local drafting services typically charge $1,500–$4,000 for comparable work. Contact us for current pricing and to discuss your project. 14-day money-back guarantee.
How do you create floor plans remotely for my Aventura home? +
You provide basic measurements (room dimensions, door/window sizes) and photos of each room. Our drafting team converts these into accurate CAD drawings with precise dimensions, wall thicknesses, and notations. For permit-grade as-built drawings, we may request additional measurements or a site visit from a local partner. We serve all Aventura neighborhoods remotely.
What format are the floor plan drawings delivered in? +
We deliver drawings in PDF (for printing and permit submission) and DWG/DXF (AutoCAD-compatible format for contractors, engineers, and architects to work from). All drawings are formatted to Aventura building department standards and include title block, scale, and code notations required for permit submission.
Can you draft floor plans for a rental property or multi-unit building in Aventura? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Aventura. Multi-unit buildings are priced based on the total number of units and floors. Contact us for a custom quote if your property has more than 4 units.
Will accurate floor plans increase my home's value in Aventura? +
In Aventura, where median home values are around $450,000, inaccurate or missing square footage records can suppress list price and appraisal value. Professional as-built drawings establish defensible square footage for appraisers and buyers. Unpermitted additions documented and legitimized through permit drawings can recover thousands in appraised value.
Do I need floor plans to get an ADU or addition permit in Aventura? +
Yes — Aventura's building department requires accurate floor plans as part of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit application. Our packages combine floor plan drafting with the full permit-ready drawing set (site plan, elevations, electrical, Title 24) needed for plan check submittal. If you only need the floor plans themselves, our Starter package covers that.
Can you draft floor plans from old blueprints or photos in Aventura? +
Yes — we can redraft from original blueprints, scans of old permit sets, hand-drawn sketches, or room photos combined with your measurements. We regularize old drawings to current CAD standards and update them to reflect any modifications made since original construction. This is a common service for Aventura homes built before the 1990s.
