About Drafting Buddies
Virginia's current code - the 2021 Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (VUSBC) - became effective January 18, 2024, and mandatory statewide as of January 18, 2025. The 2024 code cycle has not yet been adopted, so the 2021 VUSBC remains the governing standard across the Commonwealth, applied uniformly with none of the home-rule fragmentation seen in states like Texas or Colorado.
Drafting Buddies has drafted against Virginia's unified statewide code since 2014. With an A+ BBB rating, we're a drafting company Virginia architects, engineers, and contractors trust for CAD drafting, BIM modeling, and AEC services built consistently to the current 2021 VUSBC baseline, wherever in the state a project sits.
Our Virginia services cover permit drawing sets, architectural and structural CAD drafting, MEP and HVAC drafting, plumbing and civil/site drafting, shop drawings, as-built documentation, 3D modeling and BIM coordination, scan-to-BIM, and rendering, for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
We've supported extensive work in Northern Virginia's data-center alley, along with Richmond, Virginia Beach, and Hampton Roads, delivering coordinated MEP and structural BIM for some of the densest data-center construction in the country.
