Interior, Landscape & Architectural Design Services in Wisconsin

Drafting Buddies designs and drafts the interiors, outdoor spaces, and buildings Wisconsin actually lives in - from Milwaukee condos and Madison additions to lake-country landscapes across the state. Every plan we hand off is drawn to be built, not just admired: dimensioned, code-checked, and ready for your contractor or permit office the same day you receive it.

Every project is checked against the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC), SPS 361-366 Commercial Building Code, and local zoning or landscape ordinances before it leaves our desk - so your drawings don't bounce back at plan review.

What We Do

Three Disciplines, One Wisconsin Project Team

Most homeowners and businesses need more than one kind of design help - a remodel touches the interior, the yard, and sometimes the building shell itself. We built our Wisconsin service around that reality, so you get one point of contact instead of three vendors.

  • Interior Design Wisconsin

    Space planning, furniture layout, finishes, kitchens and baths for Wisconsin homes, offices, restaurants and retail - delivered as CAD-accurate plans your builder can price and build from.

  • Landscape Design Wisconsin

    Yard, patio, hardscape and commercial site landscape plans built around Wisconsin's soil, drainage and freeze-thaw climate, with construction and irrigation documentation included.

  • Architectural Design Wisconsin

    Full residential and commercial architectural design, from concept floor plans through stamped-ready permit sets aligned with Wisconsin's UDC and commercial code.

Who We Are

Designed to Be Built, Not Just Admired

Drafting Buddies LLC was founded in Austin, Texas in 2014 and has grown into a BIM modeling and AEC services company trusted by homeowners, developers, architects and interior and landscape designers across all 50 states. Drafting services in Wisconsin span Milwaukee condos, Madison additions, and lake-country landscapes - and each of those projects benefits from interior, landscape and architectural thinking working together. Floor plans, elevations, and related types of architectural drawings stay coordinated instead of being split across vendors.

A building's structure, its interior spaces and the ground it sits on are not really three separate problems. A room's layout depends on the walls the architect placed; a backyard's usability depends on how the house meets the site; a kitchen's finishes depend on the natural light the architectural design let in. Handling all three together produces a more coherent, construction-ready result.

Sub-Services

Every Service Inside Our Wisconsin Design Offering

Twelve focused sub-services across interior, landscape, and architectural design - pick one or combine them into a single scope.

  • Interior

    Residential Interior Design Wisconsin

    Our residential interior design service reworks living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and finished basements to suit how Wisconsin families actually live through long winters and short summers - durable materials, warm lighting plans, and layouts built around real furniture, not showroom photos. Every project is delivered as a complete CAD package: floor plans, elevations, furniture layouts, and finish schedules your contractor or builder can quote and build from directly.

  • Interior

    Commercial & Hospitality Interior Design Wisconsin

    We design interiors for Wisconsin offices, restaurants, hotels, medical and dental suites, and retail stores where layout drives revenue and code compliance is non-negotiable. Our team plans traffic flow, ADA-compliant clearances, ceiling and lighting layouts, and finish palettes that match your brand, then documents everything in construction-ready CAD sets formatted for fast contractor bidding and Wisconsin plan review.

  • Interior

    Kitchen & Bathroom Design Wisconsin

    Kitchens and bathrooms are the highest-return rooms in any Wisconsin remodel, and we detail them accordingly - cabinet elevations, appliance and fixture placement, plumbing and electrical rough-in coordination, and clearance checks against code. Our drawings show every dimension a cabinet installer, plumber, or GC needs, sized to real Wisconsin building footprints, not generic templates.

  • Interior

    Interior Space Planning & CAD Drafting Wisconsin

    For projects that need the planning without a full design package, we offer standalone space planning and CAD drafting - furniture and fixture layouts, adjacency studies, and reflected ceiling plans converted into clean, scaled CAD files in AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp, ready to hand to permitting or construction teams.

  • Landscape

    Residential Landscape Design Wisconsin

    We design front and back yards, gardens, and outdoor living areas built for Wisconsin's clay-heavy soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and Zone 4b-5b planting conditions. Plans cover grading and drainage, planting beds, lawn areas, and hardscape connections, all shown to scale with plant schedules and material call-outs.

  • Landscape

    Commercial & Site Landscape Design Wisconsin

    Our commercial landscape design covers office parks, retail centers, apartment communities, and municipal sites across Wisconsin, balancing curb appeal with stormwater management and local landscape-ordinance requirements. We produce planting plans, irrigation layouts, and site grading coordinated with your civil engineer, sized for bid packages and municipal landscape review in cities like Milwaukee and Madison.

  • Landscape

    Hardscape & Outdoor Living Design Wisconsin

    Patios, decks, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens are drawn as fully dimensioned hardscape plans, engineered to handle Wisconsin frost depth and drainage requirements rather than just look good in a rendering. We detail paver patterns, wall footings, and material transitions so your landscaper or GC has exact quantities and layouts to build from.

  • Landscape

    Landscape CAD & Construction Drawings Wisconsin

    When you already have a planting concept, we convert it into full landscape construction documentation - grading plans, irrigation drawings, planting schedules, and detail sheets formatted for Wisconsin municipal submittal in AutoCAD or Land F/X, cross-checked against local site and stormwater ordinances.

  • Architecture

    Residential Architectural Design Wisconsin

    From new custom homes to additions and whole-house remodels, we design residential architecture around Wisconsin's climate, lot conditions, and Uniform Dwelling Code requirements. Deliverables include floor plans, elevations, sections, and framing coordination, checked for insulation, egress, and structural clearances specific to Wisconsin's UDC.

  • Architecture

    Commercial Architectural Design Wisconsin

    We design and document offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, multifamily buildings, and mixed-use developments across Wisconsin, coordinated against SPS 361-366 commercial code and local zoning. Packages include floor plans, elevations, life-safety and accessibility documentation, and coordination sets for structural, MEP, and civil consultants.

  • Architecture

    Permit & Construction Drawing Sets Wisconsin

    We prepare complete permit drawings and construction drawing sets formatted to each Wisconsin jurisdiction's submittal checklist - cover sheets, site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and detail sheets with the code references your building department expects to see, plus consistent sheet numbering and clear dimensioning.

  • Architecture

    Architectural CAD Drafting & 3D Modeling Wisconsin

    For architects, builders, and developers who need drafting support rather than full design, we convert sketches, scans, or PDFs into clean CAD drawings and 3D modeling, plus massing for early design review. Output includes AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp files formatted to your firm's standards.

Tools We Use

Software Behind Every Wisconsin Drawing Set

We deliver in the format your team already works in - no conversion headaches. Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, 3ds Max, V-Ray, Lumion, Enscape, Chief Architect, Vectorworks Landmark, Land F/X and Adobe Photoshop.

Compliance

Designed Around Wisconsin Building Codes

Code-checking isn't an add-on - it's built into every drawing before it reaches you. Wisconsin regulates residential and commercial construction differently from most states, and our team drafts with that split in mind from day one.

  • Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC)

    One- and two-family residential construction statewide

  • SPS 361-366 Commercial Building Code

    Commercial and multifamily structures

  • Wisconsin Accessibility Code

    ANSI A117.1-based accessibility provisions

  • Local zoning & landscape ordinances

    Setback, buffer, and green-space rules by municipality

Built for Wisconsin

Drawings Checked Against UDC, SPS, and Local Ordinances

Wisconsin projects fail plan review when drawings ignore the split between the Uniform Dwelling Code and SPS commercial rules, or when Milwaukee and Madison landscape buffers get treated as an afterthought. We confirm the jurisdiction first, then draft 2D drafting, interior, and landscape documents so they land ready for contractor pricing and municipal review.

Interior layouts, freeze-thaw hardscape, and permit-ready building sets stay on one team so a Madison addition and a new backyard don't get redesigned in silos. See related CAD drafting in Wisconsin, architectural drafting in Wisconsin, and 3D rendering in Wisconsin.
