Solaire Saunas

Design service / Anywhere in the US

Sauna drawings your builder can build from.

We design the room in 3D, then hand your builder the drawing set: plans, elevations, the heater and its clearances, vent positions, and DXF files for your architect. $3,000 for an indoor room, up to $7,000 for an outdoor cabin with building sections. The fee is fixed in the proposal before work starts.

ROOM

Indoor room set · $3,000

For a room in a basement, garage, bathroom or pool house. A 3D model to review, then 7 sheets: a cover with the heater schedule (volts, amps, wire size), the floor plan with the heater guard and clearances, the ceiling plan with lighting, and 4 interior elevations with bench heights and supply and exhaust vents.

CABIN

Outdoor cabin set · up to $7,000

Everything in the room set, plus 4 exterior elevations and the building set for a rectangular cabin: building sections from the base through the vented roof, wall sections, and site and build-up notes. 15 sheets in all.

DXF files drawn at 1:1 in inches or millimetres, with AIA layer names on request, and the 3D model as SketchUp (.dae) or GLB.

Door, glass, equipment and finish schedules on the floor plan. We quote the wood, heater, controls and lighting from them; buying them from us is optional.

How it works

1. A 20-minute call.

We look at the space and how you will use the sauna, then send a proposal with a fixed fee. The call is free.

2. A first layout in 5 business days.

Send dimensions and photos; on the Jersey Shore and Long Island we can 3D-scan the room. The layout arrives in 3D within 5 business days and we review it with you on a screen share. One round of revisions is included.

3. The drawing set 5 days later.

The set arrives within 5 business days of your approval, or 10 for an outdoor cabin with building sections. Half the fee starts the work; the other half is due on delivery.

Design service questions

What is in the drawing set?
For an indoor room, 7 sheets: a cover with the drawing index and heater schedule; the floor plan with door, glass, equipment and finish schedules and the heater's guard and clearances; the ceiling plan with lighting; and 4 interior elevations. An outdoor cabin adds 4 exterior elevations, building sections, wall sections and site notes, 15 sheets in all. You also receive the DXF files and the 3D model.
Can my builder build from it?
Yes. The set gives dimensions to the inch, bench heights, the heater's clearances and guard, vent positions and the schedules. Structural, electrical and mechanical work stays with your builder's licensed trades.
Are the drawings stamped for a permit?
No. They are design and construction drawings, not engineered or sealed drawings. If your town requires a stamp, your architect or engineer reviews and seals them; the DXF files save them time.
How long does it take?
A first layout within 5 business days of your measurements, then the set within 5 business days of your approval, or 10 for an outdoor cabin with building sections. Most projects take 2 to 3 weeks.
What does sauna design cost?
$3,000 for an indoor room in an existing space, and up to $7,000 for an outdoor cabin with building sections. Rooms with glass walls, two heaters, or a cold plunge and shower to coordinate fall in between. The fee is fixed in the proposal: half to start, half on delivery.
Can I try a layout myself first?
Yes. Draw a room in the free Solaire designer and download a preliminary PDF. When you want a set your builder can build from, we start from your design.
Do you install as well?
On the Jersey Shore and Long Island, yes, and we take projects in New York City. Elsewhere your builder installs from the drawings, and we answer their questions during the build.
Can you supply the materials?
Yes. We quote the wood, heater, controls, glass and lighting from the schedules in your set. Buying from us is optional; the drawings are yours either way.

Start with a 20-minute call.

Tell us where the sauna goes and who is building it. We reply within one business day to set up the call; after it you receive a proposal with a fixed fee.
