Design just for you
Design and Drafting plan services provide construction drawings for planning, construction cost estimating, contractor bidding, construction loans, and necessary building permits. 3d Visual modeling provides a photo realistic representation of your project. Modeling is a valuable tool in the design process. It is a helpful way to review details and consider modifications before construction begins.
Art By Design actually began in the early 1980's when my interest in design, drafting and building led to opening a design/build construction company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My name is Hans Friederichs and prior to opening Friederichs Builders I served a Carpenters Apprenticeship with New Mexico Carpenters Local 1319 working primarily in commercial construction and obtaining my Journeyman Carpenter status in 1983.
Since then Friederichs Builders has obtained past licensure as a Residential & Commercial General Contractor in both New Mexico and Colorado. I have a hands-on working construction background, extensive design/drafting experience, and have worked collaboratively on many projects with licensed Architects, Engineers, and Contractors.
Today, my skill, experience, and interest in Design, Plan Drafting, and 3d Visual Modeling have defined Art By Design. Together with my sons Austin and Jake we strive to provide quality design/drafting services at reasonable prices.
I have a diverse background in both residential and commercial construction projects including new construction, additions, interior renovation, and remodeling. My extensive in-the-field building experience blends hands on construction expertise with 25 years of creative design, plan drafting, and construction application.
Clearly, construction projects can be stressful and difficult to navigate, however, with some thoughtful planning your project doesn't have to be. The interactive design process provides you the opportunity to participate in creating a design that best fits your needs, personality, and budget. In planning your project I can offer the creativity and experience necessary to provide unique perspectives, practical solutions, and a design tailored to meet your needs.
DESIGN, DRAFTING, and MODELING
Plan drafting services combined with 3d visual modeling offer a stunning preview of your finished project. Construction details come to life in 3d helping you, and your contractor, make decisions now that may save time, money, and potential misunderstandings later. Take a look at the examples shown below.
The 3d visual model above highlights the design features in the re-designed existing kitchen. The layout, cabinetry, appliances, and design elements are clearly defined using the model. The design can be changed or modified easily at this stage of the design process.
Outdoor design features can be difficult to visualize. The 3d visual model shown above provides a realistic example of the re-designed patio, landscape and portico features in a way that using only 2d plans and details simply cannot.
An existing old farm house about to undergo a complete interior and exterior remodeling. The 3d visual model above shows the completed design. Remodeling projects can be intimidating because there is often so much to consider. Thoughtful pre-planning and design can help.
Updating, rearranging, or renovating interior spaces can often be challenging. Much of the time it is difficult to imagine the hidden potential in existing space. Good plan design and the ability to render 3d visual models offer flexibility and variety in the design stage; saving time and money later.
Terms and Conditions:
