Common Uses in Davie
Local Intelligence
What Davie Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
0Davie does not impose an owner-occupancy requirement, so you can rent both the main home and any ADU or conversion as investment units.
Homeowners in Davie who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,924/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Building Division permit fees for this project type typically range from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on project valuation and scope. Plan check runs approximately 7 weeks — though each correction cycle adds 3–6 weeks, which is why code-compliant drawings matter so much.
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
Davie's adu / renovation construction costs run $263–$368 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 Davie
Davie's Building Division requires proof of "equestrian setback" compliance in many neighborhoods still zoned for horses, which means your ADU footprint may need to shift several feet even on a standard residential lot — a rule most homeowners never hear about until plan review kicks it back. Broward County also requires a separate well and septic evaluation if your property predates county sewer expansion, which is common in older Davie subdivisions like Walnut Creek or Long Lake Estates, and that review alone can tack on a few extra weeks. Because Davie enforces strict single-family zoning with no STR allowance, you'll also need to sign an affidavit confirming the ADU won't be rented separately from the main home, and code enforcement does follow up on this after final inspection.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Davie permitting, that 7-week timeline and $375/sqft figure look like state-level estimates rather than what's actually happening on the ground here, and I've seen first-round drawing corrections alone push submittals past the 8-week mark. With HOA presence at 45%, don't overlook that layer of review either — I'd call Davie's Building Division directly and get a couple of local contractor quotes before locking in a budget or schedule."

Common Questions
Davie Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Davie? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Davie'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 Davie? +
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. Davie'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 Davie? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Davie start at $997 for a standard residential home. This includes 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 the same work. We deliver within 10 business days with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
How do you create floor plans remotely for my Davie 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 Davie 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 Davie 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 Davie? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Davie. 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 Davie? +
In Davie, where median home values are around $470,000, 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 Davie? +
Yes — Davie'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 Davie? +
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 Davie homes built before the 1990s.
