Professional Sketch to CAD Floor Plan Conversion Service

Convert your DIY hand-drawn sketch into a professional CAD floor plan. Fixed price from £40, fast turnaround, ready for planning applications and professional use.

Hand Sketch to CAD Service UK

House Plan Direct provides a simple hand sketch to CAD service across the UK. If you have a hand-drawn sketch, an old floor plan, or a paper drawing, we redraw it into accurate, professional CAD plans suitable for planning permission, building control, and building work.

Old Plans Redrawn to New CAD Drawings

Many properties only have old or outdated plans. We redraw old plans into modern CAD floor plans that reflect current layouts and dimensions. This is ideal for extensions, renovations, lease plans, or preparing drawings for planning applications.

Paper Drawings, PDFs & Photos to CAD

We can work from paper drawings, scanned PDFs, photos, or marked-up plans. These are converted into clean CAD drawings that can be submitted to councils, builders, or engineers.

Paper to DWG Conversion for Professionals

For contractors, developers, and engineers, we provide paper to DWG conversion services. Drawings are delivered in industry-standard CAD and DWG formats, suitable for further design development, pricing, or construction coordination.

UK Planning & Building Control Ready Drawings

All drawings are prepared with UK planning permission and building control requirements in mind. We produce clear, scale-accurate existing and proposed floor plans suitable for council submission.

Planning Permission Floor Plan Requirements (UK)

When Are Floor Plans Required?

Floor plans are typically required for most planning permission applications in the UK, including:

  • House extensions (single storey, two storey, side, rear)
  • Loft conversions with external alterations
  • Garage conversions
  • Change of use applications
  • Listed building consent applications

What Do Councils Expect?

Most local planning authorities require:

  • Existing floor plans – showing the property as it currently is
  • Proposed floor plans – showing the planned changes
  • Scale drawings – typically 1:50 or 1:100
  • Clear dimensions – room sizes and wall positions marked
  • North arrow and scale bar – for orientation

Planning Drawings vs Building Regulations Drawings

Planning drawings show the overall design and layout for planning permission approval. Building regulations drawings are more detailed technical drawings required for building control approval, often including structural details and specifications.
