The art of your ideas
Your vision directing our expertise
You already envision your ideal home—the inviting kitchen, the serene primary suite, and a versatile great room for family gatherings and dinner parties. What you need is a precise set of documents that ensures every contractor, inspector, and design decision aligns with your vision. That’s exactly what professional Drafting Services Luxury Home Renovation delivers—an essential investment before any walls come down.
At FHR Construction, we offer design-build services backed by decades of high-end residential experience in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Old Town Scottsdale, and North Phoenix. Our drafting process transforms your renovation dream into a buildable, permit-ready reality.
Design-Build
The Cost of Skipping Proper Drafting
You’ve heard the stories. A project that started at $400,000 and landed at $700,000 with no clear explanation. A kitchen gutted for six months because the permit got rejected twice. A design that looked stunning in a rendering but felt completely wrong once the walls went up. In nearly every case, the root cause is the same: incomplete, ambiguous, or absent construction documentation.
How the Drafting Process Works
We believe the drafting process should feel calm, collaborative, and even enjoyable — because when it is done right, it is. Here is how we move from your first conversation to a complete, approved permit set.
Step 1
Discovery & Vision Alignment
We sit down with you — in your home, not a generic office — and listen. We want to understand how you actually live: where the morning routine bottlenecks, how the kids come home from school, what entertaining looks like on your best Saturday night. We look at your existing space with fresh eyes and an experienced builder’s perspective. This conversation shapes every document that follows.
Step 2
Existing Conditions Survey
We measure and document your existing home with precision — walls, openings, ceiling heights, mechanical locations, and structural elements. This as-built survey is the foundation everything else is drawn from. Skipping this step is one of the most common (and costly) mistakes on renovation projects, and we never do.
Step 3
Schematic Design & Your Review
We produce schematic drawings — early-stage layouts that show how your new spaces will be organized — and walk you through them in detail. This is where you give direction, push back, and refine. We want you to feel certain before we move to full construction documents. Refer to the standard scope of drafting services if you want to understand how this phase fits into the broader process.
Step 4
Construction Documents
With your approval, we develop the full permit set: floor plans, elevations, sections, structural notes, MEP coordination, and all the detail drawings your tradespeople will need. Every material call-out, every dimension, every finish specification is captured here — so the field team builds what you approved, not what they interpreted.
Step 5
Permit Submission & Approvals
We manage the permit submission process on your behalf, responding to any reviewer comments and tracking approvals. When the permit is in hand, your build can begin with full legal authority and a clean regulatory record — which also matters for your luxury home renovation insurance update and your home’s future resale value.
FHR Construction
What Makes Our Approach Different
We are a family-owned business, not a faceless corporate remodeling machine. This distinction matters more than most clients realize until they experience both. When you call FHR Construction, the team that understands your vision is also creating your drawings and managing your build. There’s no hand-off or file passed to a junior drafter unfamiliar with your home—continuity is our hallmark.

Why Precise Drafting Is the Foundation of Every Luxury Renovation
Here is the truth that most homeowners learn the hard way: a stunning design concept means almost nothing without meticulous construction documentation behind it. Ambiguous drawings are the root cause of most budget overruns, failed inspections, and the dreaded mid-project contractor surprises that neighbors warn you about at the country club. When a contractor receives drawings that are vague or incomplete, they fill in the gaps — and those gaps cost you money, time, and peace of mind.
Precise, professional drafting protects you. It locks in intent. It gives the building department exactly what they need to approve your permit efficiently. It gives your tradespeople a single source of truth so there is no guesswork about where the bookmatched stone countertop ends, how the toe kick lighting integrates with the cabinetry, or where the double-sided fireplace chases through the wall. And it gives you — the homeowner living through the process — confidence that the project is being managed at the level your home deserves.
Architectural Floor Plans & Space Planning
We translate your vision into dimensionally accurate floor plans that account for how your family actually moves through the space. Where does everyone land when they walk in from school? How does the kitchen connect to the outdoor living area for summer entertaining in the Arizona heat? How does the primary suite flow from sleeping to bathing to the split closet addition you’ve been dreaming about? Every square foot is interrogated before we draw a single line.
Construction Documents & Permit Sets
Our permit sets are prepared to satisfy the City of Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Maricopa County building departments. We navigate local building setback rules, zoning considerations, and desert climate building material requirements so you don’t have to. A complete, well-prepared permit set means fewer revision cycles, faster approvals, and a project that starts on schedule.
Structural & MEP Coordination Drawings
Opening up a wall to create an open great room, adding a home spa, or installing a custom wine room all require structural and mechanical-electrical-plumbing coordination that must be documented precisely. We coordinate with licensed engineers and produce the integrated drawings that give every trade team exactly what they need — eliminating the costly field conflicts that blow up budgets on poorly managed projects.
“A set of drawings is not overhead — it is the single document that keeps every subcontractor, every inspector, and every dollar aligned with your vision from day one.”
Interior Elevation & Detail Drawings
For homeowners who are ready to reimagine everything at once, we offer full home gut renovations with a phased plan that protects your family’s ability to remain in the home — or, where needed, coordinates temporary accommodations with minimal disruption. We’ve helped families in Paradise Valley stay and remodel rather than sell and search in an impossible market. The result is always a home that feels brand new but rooted — your address, your neighbors, your life, completely transformed.
Site Plans & Exterior Documentation
Outdoor leisure spaces, fire features, summer outdoor living additions, and attached home additions all require accurate site documentation. We produce site plans that reflect actual property boundaries, setbacks, and existing conditions — giving your project the clean legal and regulatory foundation it needs from day one. Our team’s experience with home additions in the Valley means we know exactly what reviewers are looking for.
General Contractor Scottsdale
The horror stories you’ve heard from neighbors — the contractor who disappeared, the design that looked perfect on a screen but felt wrong once built, the budget that ballooned with no warning — almost always trace back to one root cause: fragmented teams with no shared accountability. When your architect, designer, and contractor are three separate businesses with three separate contracts and three separate financial interests, the gaps between them become your problem.
Imagine walking through your completed renovation — the kitchen that finally matches how your family cooks and gathers, the primary suite where you actually decompress, the outdoor living space that becomes your family’s favorite room all summer long. That outcome starts with a precise plan, drawn by people who understand luxury residential work at the level your home deserves.

How long does a large-scale luxury home remodel typically take?
It depends on the scope. A full kitchen and primary suite renovation typically takes four to seven months from design approval to final walkthrough. A full home gut renovation can run eight to fourteen months. We build every luxury remodel design-build timeline into your agreement before work begins, so you always know what to expect. We also plan around Arizona’s summer heat to avoid weather-related delays.
How do you handle budget overruns?
We start every project with a detailed, transparent proposal and a clearly defined construction contingency budget — typically 10–15% of the total project cost — built in from day one. We track spending against your approved budget throughout construction and communicate proactively if anything shifts. We believe a well-planned renovation should land within its original budget, and our process is designed to make that happen.
Can my family stay in the home during the remodel?
In most cases, yes — especially for phased renovations where we work one zone at a time. We use dust barriers, sealed containment systems, and daily site cleanup to protect your family, including kids and pets. For full home gut renovations, we’ll discuss temporary living arrangements and help you plan accordingly. Your comfort and your family’s safety are part of our project plan, not afterthoughts.
