What to Expect When You Book

When you schedule a site evaluation, you receive a thorough assessment of your property's current layout and environmental factors. The process begins with a structured walk-through where room dimensions, ceiling heights, door swings, and window placements are recorded. In Cranberry Township, Butler, Greensburg and beyond, where lots often include sloped terrain and variable drainage, grade levels and water flow patterns are also documented to inform design adjustments.


Bottega Drafting + Design verifies structural elements such as wall types, beam locations, and framing conditions to avoid surprises during construction. This measured approach provides clients with a clear understanding of what is feasible based on the property's physical constraints. You also receive digital base drawings that contractors can reference throughout the project timeline.


All measurements are compiled into clean, accurate plans that support early-stage budgeting and design exploration. These as-builts become the reference point for additions, remodels, and permitting processes, ensuring your project begins with a solid foundation of verified data.

Homeowners planning renovations or additions often have questions about the site evaluation process and what information will be captured. Below are answers to common concerns about timing, accuracy, and next steps.
