Hello everyone,
I am currently planning my building project and could use some help from someone with a good CAD program.
Would anyone be able to draw my desired house onto my site plan? I want to check if the house fits well on the plot while complying with the setback requirements and to see how much space would remain around it.
I can send you the site plan and exact measurements by email or private message.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

No, @matty, that’s not how it works. Please upload the site plan, which should already have dimensions, and also the proposed floor plan. Then there’s no need for CAD software to make adjustments; a simple drawing program is enough, as long as both are displayed at the same scale.

Hello kbt09,
sorry, I’m still quite new here and didn’t want to come straight to the point. But you’re absolutely right, that makes things much easier!
Here are the details:
  • Plot: Parcel 320 (I’m attaching the plan).
  • House dimensions: The planned house measures 8.84 m x 13.64 m (29 ft x 45 ft).
  • Special feature: The existing gray building (marked "A") will be demolished. The garages (Ga) in the top right corner are to remain.


I’m attaching the site plan directly to this post. If someone could take the time to place the house there to scale (including the 3 m (10 ft) setback from the boundary), I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks so much for the push in the right direction!

Well, @matty, if you could also attach the pictures now, hoping that plot 320 is dimensioned. You need to upload the files and then click "Insert" next to each file.

Am I bad at this? 😂

Well, for an initial look, there’s no need to make major adjustments, especially since the ground floor layout isn’t clearly visible, including the entrance and so on.

Are there building boundaries that need to be observed? Otherwise, you can calculate that already.

It’s definitely useful to print this out and then move potential floor plans around on the property at the same scale. I’m also not sure what you expect to gain by outsourcing part of the work.

How is the driveway to the garage supposed to be? From the southeast, from the street? Is the driveway already there?
