About Drafting Buddies
California has some of the strictest building rules in the country. Every construction project has to follow CBC rules, Title 24 energy standards, and strict seismic design rules. Los Angeles and San Francisco, for example, have complicated approval processes. This means that architects and contractors need drafting teams that are familiar with these rules and how to write the right documents..
At Drafting Buddies helps professionals in design and construction by offering reliable drafting outsourcing services that are tailored to California's code-driven environment. Architects, engineers, and construction companies can get professional drafting help for both small projects and big commercial projects through our website.
We offer drafting services for architectural drawings, mechanical drafting, HVAC layouts, plumbing drawings, civil drafting, and permit drawing sets that meet California building codes. There are clear technical details in each drawing so that project teams can easily move through the design review, permitting, and construction phases.
Drafting Buddies helps businesses cut down on their internal workload while still keeping accurate records that meet California's complicated building codes. They do this by having a skilled drafting team and a smooth workflow.
