We design homes that hold up on the bid table — and on the framing deck.
DiGiorgio Design is an award winning residential design studio based in Owensboro, Kentucky. For thirty years, we’ve drawn custom homes for builders and families who need a design evolution to fit their lifestyle.
Our drawings carry a 30-year refined quality control checklist. Mechanical, electrical, and structural systems are coordinated on paper — so contractors don’t have to steal space from rooms later.
About the studio
A full-service design studio for builder and custom residential plans.
Years drafting custom homes
A studio practice refined across three decades — every plan still passes the same checklist.
Plans built within budget
Our drawings are coordinated for cost on paper, not on site. Bids come in close to estimate.
Nationwide homes drafted
Three decades of plans drawn for customers across the country — from cottages to multigenerational estates.
Homes designed nationwide annually
Over 250 customers move into their designed and pre-planned homes each year — across Kentucky and far beyond.
The terror is not in the build. It’s in the drawings.
Cheap plans price a dream. They don’t build a home.
Stock plans get a number on the back of a napkin. Then permits come back rejected, the framer notices the beams don’t line up, and the mechanical contractor steals six inches from the master closet. Square footage disappears. Costs balloon.

Our drafting & design process.
Five phases, drawn in this order for thirty years. You see the work at every step — and you only proceed when the phase before is right.
The full processThe Discover Meeting
We listen — to the shape of your days, your land, and your budget. We talk fees plainly and help you establish the ideas for your upcoming project. This is where our clients begin to understand why working with DiGiorgio Design is so important.
Hand Sketch
A floor plan, drafted to scale by hand. Square footage worked out room by room. This is where the home actually takes shape — and where most of the meaningful decisions get made.
Preliminary CAD
Sketch moves into CAD with a front elevation. We apply efficiency measures — framing logic, mechanical paths, common spans — and present alternates worth considering.
Construction Documents
The full set develops: foundation, sections, electrical, mechanical, roof, details. A 30-year quality control checklist runs across every sheet. Structural review is performed on the load paths.
Final Plans
We deliver a complete, coordinated set — drawn to be built. Permit-ready and bid-ready, with every detail resolved on paper so contractors can price confidently and the building department signs off on first review.
“Paul is very articulate and straight to the point. He gets it. He understands it — the integrity of where the plan is going before we get a chance to get it on paper.”
