Specialties
At Drafting By Design, we bridge the gap between concept and reality by combining architectural and mechanical expertise under one roof. While most firms specialize in one discipline, we support everything from residential and commercial building design to complex mechanical systems, fixture design, and prototyping.
What truly sets us apart is our hands-on, problem-solving approach. We don’t just produce drawings—we partner with our clients to understand their goals, identify challenges early, and develop practical, buildable solutions. Whether it’s a homeowner planning an addition or a Fortune 500 company needing production support, we bring the same level of detail, responsiveness, and care.
We also leverage advanced technology—including 3D scanning, modeling, rendering, and in-house prototyping—to move projects faster and with greater accuracy. This allows our clients to visualize, test, and refine ideas before they’re built, saving time and cost.
Finally, as a 50-year established company, we combine decades of experience with a forward-thinking mindset. We’ve evolved with the industry—from drafting boards to 3D modeling—while maintaining the personal relationships and reliability that keep clients coming back.
In short: we don’t just draw plans—we help turn ideas into reality.
History
Established in 1976.
Drafting By Design was founded in 1976 with a simple goal: help turn ideas into reality through clear, accurate design and drafting.
What started with hand-drawn plans at a drafting board has grown into a full-service architectural and mechanical drafting company serving clients across residential, commercial, and industrial industries.
Over the years, we’ve embraced new technology—from AutoCAD to 3D modeling, rendering, and laser scanning—while staying true to the core values that built our reputation: attention to detail, reliability, and strong client relationships.
Today, our team supports everything from homeowners planning a deck or custom home to large companies needing mechanical design, fixture development, and on-site drafting support. Many of our clients have trusted us for years, and we take pride in being a long-term partner in their success.
