This all starts with “THE HOUSE”. (Nice bach* in New Zealand, a little underwhelming in Santa Barbara)
Ideally you:
visit “the house”
take pictures of “the house”
measure “the house”
get “the house” surveyed
This is just documenting what is “existing”.
You then draw it up adjusting and fudging it from the pictures until you are satisfied with the results. This can be done to a lesser or greater degree of accuracy depending on the project/client's budget.
(The office will just accept what the previous architect drew and go forward).
(Later I will find the accuracy of this was not great, but we will just fake it as most of it is getting torn down anyway).
*A bach (pronounced 'batch') (/ˈbætʃ/; (also called a crib in the southern half of the South Island) is a small, often very modest holiday home or beach house in New Zealand.
