Welcome to Evolution Drafting LLC. By engaging with our drafting and design services, you agree to the following Terms of Service.
1. Service Overview
Evolution Drafting provides residential and commercial drafting and design services. This includes, but is not limited to, the creation of floor plans, site plans, electrical layouts, and representational mechanical/plumbing plans. Deliverables vary depending on the service selected and project scope.
2. Design & Revisions
• Up to 3 complimentary revisions are included during the Conceptual Phase.
• For projects under $2000, 1 revision is included.
• Additional revisions are billed at $120/hour.
• City redline corrections post-delivery are included at no additional charge.
• Revisions to “production-only” jobs (where you supply your own floor plan) are not included unless otherwise agreed upon.
3. Design Approval
Approvals may be submitted via:
• Email or verbal confirmation
• Click-to-authorize links or platform interactions
Once approved, further edits are considered revisions and may incur additional charges.
4. Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for:
• Providing accurate site and project data
• Verifying all information before final approval
• Ensuring timely communication throughout the project
Evolution Drafting is not liable for issues resulting from incorrect, omitted, or incomplete information provided by the client.
5. Code Compliance
We create plans based on widely accepted building codes (e.g., IRC). However, local jurisdictions may impose additional or unique requirements. Evolution Drafting will revise plans based on redlines received from the city or county but is not responsible for permit delays caused by jurisdiction-specific issues unless communicated directly.
6. Professional Engineering Stamp
A licensed professional’s stamp is not included by default. If required, we will coordinate this service at an additional cost. Evolution Drafting is not liable for the performance or accuracy of third-party engineers.
7. Construction Liability
Evolution Drafting does not manage construction. We are not responsible for materials, methods, or results of construction. Contractors must build according to approved plans and code.
8. Payment Terms
• 50% Down Payment required to begin work
• Remaining balance invoiced upon project completion
• Additional costs (revisions, site visits, etc.) are invoiced separately
• Down payments are non-refundable once work has commenced
Failure to pay may result in the withholding of deliverables, legal collection actions, or revocation of licensing rights.
9. Refund & Cancellation Policy
• Down payments are non-refundable once conceptual work begins
• If a refund is issued, all rights to any draft or design materials are revoked
• Cancellations will result in a prorated charge based on work completed, billed at $120/hour
10. Intellectual Property
All design materials remain the intellectual property of Evolution Drafting until payment is made in full. Upon full payment, clients are granted a non-transferable, limited license to use the plans for their intended purpose.
11. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes will be resolved first through mediation in Washington County, Utah, and, if necessary, through binding arbitration under the AAA rules.
12. Client Conduct
We reserve the right to terminate service in the event of unprofessional, harassing, or abusive behavior by the client. All work completed up to that point will be billed.
13. Timeline
Typical turnaround is 6–8 weeks from the date the down payment is received and intake is completed. Delays due to client inactivity or unresponsiveness may result in cancellation or continuation based on the latest approved design.
14. Site Visits & Additional Fees
Site visits are billed at $80/hour, including travel, with a minimum of $499.
15. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah.

All the plans in this web site are protected under the Federal Copyright Act, Title XVII of the U.S. Code and Chapter 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The owner of the copyright retains title and ownership of the original documents. The blueprints licensed to you cannot be used by or resold to any other individual.
Reproduction of these home plans, either in whole or in part, including any form of copying and/or preparation of derivative works thereof, for any reason without prior written permission, is strictly prohibited. The purchase of a set of home plans in no way transfers any copyright or other ownership interest in it to the buyer except for a limited license to use that set of home plans for the construction of one dwelling. The purchase of additional sets of that home plan at a reduced price from the original set or as part of a multiple set package does not convey to the buyer a license to construct more than one dwelling. Similarly, the purchase of reproducible sets carries the same copyright protection. To use any plans more than once, and to avoid any copyright /license infringement, it is necessary to contact the plan's designer to receive a release and license for any extended usage. Whereas a purchaser of PDFs, CAD and Reproducibles is granted a license to make copies, it should be noted that as copyrighted material, making photocopies from blueprints is illegal.
Copyright and licensing of home plans for construction exist to protect all parties. It respects and supports the intellectual property of the original architect or designer. Copyright law has been reinforced over the past few years. Willful infringement could cause settlements for statutory damages up to $150,000 plus attorney fees, damages and loss of profits.
