I'm Steve Norman, a West Michigan draftsman based in Grand Rapids, and a licensed residential builder with 25 years in the field. I've built in California's earthquake zones, where structural code is among the strictest in the country, and served as job superintendent on multi-million-dollar custom hillside homes in Oregon: foundations, retaining walls, underground garages, and everything above them. Back in Grand Rapids, my renovation company earned five-star reviews on Houzz for years.
That's why my drawings are made to be built. I know how a beam pocket, a footing, and a stair actually go together, and I draw them that way.
