Why Georgia Builders & Architects Outsource Drafting

An Architectural Drafting Partner That Speaks Georgia Permitting

Georgia's residential and commercial construction market is expanding fast - from metro Atlanta's continued single-family and multi-family growth to commercial build-out around the Savannah industrial corridor. But every one of those projects now has to clear a permit desk running on a brand-new code cycle: the 2024 IBC-based Georgia Amendments took effect statewide on January 1, 2026, replacing the 2018 cycle in one step rather than a gradual transition.

Drafting Buddies has produced architectural CAD drawings, permit sets, and Revit BIM models for residential and commercial clients nationwide since 2014. For Georgia projects, that means floor plans, elevations, and construction documents drafted to the current Georgia Amendments from the first sheet - not caught in a code-cycle mismatch at review. We work as an extension of your architectural design or contracting team, with a named drafter on every set and revision turnaround measured in days.

The Full Scope

Architectural Drafting Services in Georgia

Eleven services, one drafting team. Every sheet number below links to a full description - from first-pass CAD drafting through permit-ready construction documents and full BIM modeling.

A0.1CAD Base

Architectural CAD Drafting Georgia

Our foundation service: precise 2D architectural CAD drafting for any project type, from a hand-sketch or existing PDF to a fully layered, dimensioned, and annotated CAD file. We build clean, well-organized drawing files with proper layer standards, block libraries, and title blocks so your architect or contractor can pick up the file and keep working without cleanup.

A1.1Residential

Residential Architectural Drafting Georgia

Full drafting support for single-family homes, additions, and multi-family residential projects - floor plans, elevations, roof plans, foundation plans, and framing plans drawn to Georgia's 2024 IRC-based Georgia Amendments. We work from builder standard plans, custom home designs, or field sketches to produce sets ready for your local building department.

  • Residential Architectural Drafting Georgia
  • House Plan Drafting Georgia
A1.2Commercial

Commercial Architectural Drafting Georgia

Architectural drafting for office, retail, restaurant, warehouse, and multi-family commercial buildings - code-driven floor plans, life-safety plans, and tenant improvement drawings drafted to the 2024 IBC-based Georgia Amendments. We coordinate egress, occupancy classification, and accessibility notes directly on the plan so your permit reviewer isn't left guessing.

  • Commercial Architectural Drafting Georgia
  • Tenant Improvement Drawings
A2.1Floor Plans

Floor Plan Drafting Georgia

Existing, proposed, and as-designed floor plans drafted to scale with accurate room dimensions, door and window schedules, and fixture layouts. Whether you need a single detailed floor plan for a listing or marketing package, or a full multi-level plan set for permit submittal, we match the level of detail to what the plan is actually being used for.

  • Floor Plan Drafting Services Georgia
  • CAD Floor Plans Georgia
A3.1Permit

Permit Drawing Services Georgia

Permit-ready drawing sets built to clear plan review the first time - cover sheets, code-analysis blocks, site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and details assembled to match what your specific Georgia jurisdiction requires at submittal. We track code-adoption dates and local amendment overlays by county and city so your set isn't built to a superseded cycle.

  • Permit Drawing Services Georgia
  • Building Permit Drawings Georgia
A3.2Const. Docs

Construction Drawings & Documentation Georgia

Full construction document sets - wall sections, roof plans, reflected ceiling plans, door and window schedules, finish schedules, and architectural details - coordinated into a single, buildable package. We format sheets and sheet numbering to match standard AIA/CSI conventions so your set reads the way contractors and subs expect.

  • Construction Drawing Services Georgia
  • Architectural Working Drawings
A4.1As-Built

As-Built Drawing Services Georgia

Accurate as-built and existing-condition drawings from field measurements, laser scans, or point-cloud data - floor plans, elevations, and sections that document a building as it actually exists today. Used for renovation planning, lease documentation, facility management, and pre-permit existing-condition sets that reviewers require before proposed work can be evaluated.

  • As-Built Drawing Services Georgia
  • Existing Condition Drawings Georgia
A5.1BIM / Revit

Architectural BIM & Revit Services Georgia

Architectural BIM modeling and Revit drafting at LOD 300-400, built for coordination with structural and MEP models rather than as a standalone drawing exercise. We deliver Revit models with properly organized families, sheets, and schedules, and can convert existing CAD or as-built drawings into a coordinated BIM model on request.

  • Architectural BIM Services Georgia
  • Revit Architectural Services Georgia
A5.23D Model

3D Architectural Modeling Georgia

3D architectural modeling of exterior and interior buildings built in Revit or SketchUp for design review, client presentation, or as a coordination reference alongside your 2D drawing set. Useful for early design massing studies, marketing renderings, and giving a client a clear picture of a design before construction documents are finalized. Pair with our Georgia 3D rendering when you need photorealistic visuals.

  • 3D Architectural Modeling Georgia
  • Architectural Visualization Services Georgia
A6.1Interior

Interior Architectural Drafting Georgia

Interior floor plans, elevations, and reflected ceiling plans for kitchens, bathrooms, and full interior build-outs, including cabinet and millwork drawings and furniture layout plans.

  • Interior CAD Drafting Georgia
  • Millwork Drafting Services
A6.2Renovation

Renovation & Remodeling Drafting Georgia

Existing-and-proposed drawing sets for home additions, remodels, and commercial renovations, showing exactly what's being demolished, retained, and newly constructed.

Code & Standards Compliance

Drafted to the Codes Georgia Actually Enforces

Georgia's Department of Community Affairs adopted the 2024 International Code family - IBC, IRC, IMC, IFGC, IPC, and ISPSC - with Georgia Amendments, effective statewide January 1, 2026, along with the 2026 Georgia Amendments to the 2023 National Electrical Code, moving directly from the 2018 cycle. We track jurisdiction-level adoption and local amendment overlays so every set is drafted to the cycle your building department is actually reviewing against at submittal.

2024 IBC + GA Amendments

Statewide since Jan 1, 2026 - commercial & multi-family occupancy requirements

2024 IRC + GA Amendments

Statewide since Jan 1, 2026 - one- & two-family dwelling requirements

ICC A117.1

Accessible & usable buildings and facilities, referenced via Georgia Amendments

2024 IFC

As adopted by the Georgia Safety Fire Commissioner - life-safety & egress

2015 IECC + GA Amendments

Current statewide energy code, pending 2024 IECC review

Energy code note

Georgia's statewide energy code remains the 2015 IECC with Georgia amendments at present. A Georgia Energy Code Task Force is currently reviewing the 2024 IECC for adoption, with a final recommendation expected later in 2026 - we monitor this process and update energy-compliance drawings to whichever edition is officially adopted.
