Draftsman, ADU plans and as-builts in Ventura County
Terra Drafting scans, draws and permits projects across Ventura County, in cities such as Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Oxnard, Ojai and Moorpark, and in the unincorporated county. We measure existing buildings with LiDAR and a full site measurement, then draw as-builts, ADU plans and permit drawings formatted to the department that reviews them.

ADUs in Ventura County
We draw detached, attached, garage-conversion and junior ADUs across the county, starting from a scan of your house and lot and a full site measurement. See ADU plans and permits.
Yes, for residential projects across Ventura County and its incorporated cities, including Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Simi Valley, Oxnard, Moorpark and the City of Ventura. We format each set to the receiving jurisdiction's specific intake standards. We draw and permit basic tenant improvements that don't need an architect. On larger commercial projects we work alongside your architect or engineer.
Yes. Most Ventura County jurisdictions have moved to fully digital intake and plan review. We prepare properly formatted digital packages that meet each city’s upload specifications, naming conventions, and sheet-size requirements. Our familiarity with these systems helps avoid processing delays at intake.
Yes. Ventura County jurisdictions vary in what they want at intake, and electronic submittal is now the norm across most of them. We format to the reviewing department's current checklist rather than a generic template.
Yes, across the county. Several cities apply their own setback and parking standards on top of state law, and we work to the current version rather than last year's. On a straightforward ADU we can take the design as well as the documentation; on anything more involved we work alongside your designer.
Yes. Hillside jurisdictions bring grading limits, height measured from natural grade and fire-access requirements. We capture the terrain with drone and LiDAR so the design is working from measured ground. Geotechnical and retaining design come from the project engineer and we coordinate the drawings to it.
Yes. We provide LiDAR scanning and drone photography for sites throughout Ventura County. Our field capture services are especially useful for remodel and addition projects where original drawings are missing or outdated, giving your design and engineering teams an accurate baseline to work from.
