Drafting Buddies provides professional architectural drafting services across Michigan, helping architects, contractors, builders, and developers turn concepts, sketches, and rough plans into accurate, construction-ready drawings.
Whether you need a full residential permit set for a custom home in Grand Rapids, commercial construction documents for a retail build-out in Detroit, or as-built drawings for an existing property in Ann Arbor, our team delivers detailed, code-aware CAD and BIM drafting built around your project timeline and budget.
We work as an extension of your team - not a replacement for licensed architectural or engineering services.

Direct access to your drafting team at every stage, rather than a generic support queue.
A process structured to keep projects moving without sacrificing the accuracy your drawings need on site and through review.
