What homeowners should compare
| Compare this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Concept + layout included? | Without clear planning, drawings alone are not enough. |
| Approval support included? | Some fees exclude authority follow-up entirely. |
| Revision count | Unlimited changes are rarely realistic; clarity helps. |
| Structural coordination | Important for buildable plans, not just attractive drawings. |
