Residential design, home design, house plans, and drafting services
Homeowners often search for this type of work as residential design, home design services, house plans, floor plan design, residential drafting, or architectural designer services. Chris Neidig Residential Design focuses on residential design and permit-oriented drawing packages for homes, additions, renovations, remodels, and garages.
Services do not include architectural licensure, professional engineering, sealed or stamped documents, permit submission, construction management, contractor selection, or construction supervision.
Custom Home Design
Single-family custom home design for homeowners who need layout development, elevations, exterior massing, and a coordinated residential drawing package. The process focuses on practical room relationships, curb appeal, site response, and documentation that can be reviewed by owners, builders, and local jurisdictions.
Home Additions
Home addition design for primary suites, expanded kitchens, family rooms, garages, second-floor expansions, and other residential growth projects. The work focuses on connecting new space to the existing home in a way that improves daily function, circulation, storage, and exterior appearance.
Renovation Design
Renovation and remodel design for existing homes where the current layout no longer supports the way the family lives. Services may include reworking kitchens, entries, bathrooms, bedrooms, circulation, and interior organization into a clearer design direction and drawing package.
Garage Design
Attached and detached garage design for homeowners who need more vehicle space, storage, hobby space, equipment access, or a better connection between garage and home. Garage projects can be developed as standalone work or as part of a larger residential renovation or addition.

Local and remote-first service area
Services are available for homeowners and builders in Williamsport, Lycoming County, north-central Pennsylvania, and throughout Pennsylvania. The remote-first workflow is designed to reduce unnecessary meetings while still giving clients an organized path from project intake to design development and final residential drawing package.
Homeowners may search for an architect, architectural designer, draftsman, home designer, or residential designer when they need plans. Chris Neidig Residential Design provides residential design and drafting services only and does not provide architectural services, professional engineering, inspections, code enforcement, or construction management.
Included scope
Deliverables may include plan layout development, 3D visualization when appropriate, floor plans, elevations, drawing coordination, schedules, notes, and related residential drawing documents appropriate for homeowner, builder, and jurisdiction review.
Typical design fees
Most residential design projects begin around $5,000. Larger or more complex projects commonly range from $7,500 to $15,000 or more depending on project size, existing conditions, design complexity, number of revisions, documentation needs, and coordination with contractors, manufacturers, or separately retained professionals.
The design fee is for residential design and drafting services. Structural engineering, engineered component layouts, surveying, septic design, energy calculations, mechanical/electrical/plumbing design, and similar services are separate when required.
Consultation and feasibility review
When appropriate, an initial design consultation or feasibility review may be available for approximately $350 to $750 depending on scope. This can help homeowners understand layout options, project feasibility, rough design direction, and whether separate contractor, manufacturer, or professional design input may be needed before committing to a full design package.
Excluded scope
Professional engineering, architecture, inspections, code enforcement, construction management, sealed/stamped documents, and trade-specific design are outside the scope of services provided. Non-prescriptive structural conditions and engineered components must be designed by the responsible licensed professional, manufacturer, supplier, contractor, or authority having jurisdiction.
