At Seaside Drafting & Design, we’ve spent the past few months bringing a beautiful ADU project in Carlsbad to life—from concept to completion of the full construction drawings. This ground-up build, just under 2,000 sq. ft. and located near the coast, was thoughtfully designed to reflect the primary residence while incorporating unique character elements our client wanted to highlight.

From start to finish, we handled the drafting in close collaboration with our engineers and architects, ensuring every detail aligned with both the client’s vision and current building codes. The project is now under review with the City of Carlsbad, and we’re excited for the next phase as we move closer to breaking ground.

While the permitting process can sometimes test patience, it’s a crucial part of creating spaces that are safe, functional, and enhance the community. We truly enjoy the journey—working through designs, navigating codes, and partnering with our clients every step of the way.

If you’re ready to get your project started—whether it’s blueprints or full construction documents—we’d love to connect. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and see how Seaside Drafting & Design can bring your vision to life.

Drafting and design is just one part of what we do ✏️📐

At Seaside Drafting & Design, we don’t just sit behind a desk drawing plans — we get out on the job site and into your space before we draft a single detail. We believe the best projects start with boots on the ground, tape measure in hand, and real conversations. Ginger is sitting here reviewing a whole home remodel and going through each space with the client.

Ginger personally meets with each client to walk the space, review your desired outcome, and truly understand how you want to live in your home. We carefully measure every area and evaluate all the existing elements before collaborating with engineers, architects, and contractors. That early groundwork ensures we’re including every important detail in your remodel — not missing a thing.

Yes, the drafting and city approval process can take a few months — but we believe doing it right from the beginning saves time, money, and stress later. Our hands-on approach means we’re involved every step of the way to make sure your vision is translated accurately onto paper and ultimately into reality.

If you’re planning a remodel, ADU, addition, or exterior update, let’s start with the right foundation.

At Seaside Drafting & Design, we don’t just sit behind a desk drafting plans and researching codes — we show up. 👷‍♀️📐

Yes, we spend time in the office developing detailed drawings, studying city requirements, and preparing submittals. But we also step onto the job site when our contractors need us.

When structural elements don’t look like the plans…
When demo reveals something unexpected…
When we need to pivot and revise drawings quickly…

We’re there.

Being hands-on matters. Understanding why something is framed a certain way, how loads transfer, or what needs to change in real time can save a project from costly delays. That only comes from experience.

Our team holds degrees in Architecture and has over 20 years of industry experience. We understand how structures are built — not just how they’re drawn.

This week, Ginger was on site with one of her clients, reviewing structural details and collaborating with the contractor to make sure everything was executed correctly. That level of involvement is what protects your investment.

We’re not just drafting plans — we’re guiding projects from paper to reality.

Ready to start your ADU, remodel, or addition?

For the past several months, Ginger and her incredible team at Seaside Drafting & Design have been fully immersed in preparing this garage project to become permit-ready. This journey included extensive structural and engineering drafting, countless meetings with the city, and navigating the process of bringing the property out of an illegal situation, something that should never have happened in the first place.

The design is not only functional but truly beautiful, you will see this as time unfolds, enhancing the property while elevating the look and feel of the entire neighborhood.

Now comes the exciting next phase! We’re thrilled to have AE Carlson — one of our trusted construction partners — stepping in to bring this vision to life. It is incredibly rewarding to watch our plans move from paper to reality alongside such wonderful clients.

Seaside Drafting & Design will remain on site throughout the build, ensuring every detail stays aligned with the client’s vision from start to finish.
