01
Ship faster, fix less
Permit-ready sets the first time. Clean code analysis upfront so revisions stay rare and your contractor stays on schedule.
About
Built by drafters, for builders.
An eight-person Phoenix studio that spends its days inside the IBC, the IRC, and the AZ amendments — so your contractor can spend their days breaking ground.
How we got here
A focused practice. No black box.
Archipartners Design started in 2018 with a simple frustration: every drafting firm in the Valley felt like a black box. You sent a sketch, you waited four weeks, and you got back something that almost worked. We thought there was a better way to run a drafting studio — faster, more transparent, and obsessed with the code.
Today we are eight people in Phoenix. Senior drafters, a permit specialist, a coordinator. Every set ships through senior review before it leaves the building. Nothing gets sent offshore. Nothing gets junior-staffed. We work in English and Spanish, carry our own E&O, and answer the phone.

How we operate
Four principles. Non-negotiable.
We hire, draft, and quote against these. They are the difference between a set that ships and a set that sits on a plan-checker’s desk.
02
Bilingual by default
EN and ES on every interaction — intake bot, contract, portal, shop drawings. The trades on your jobsite shouldn’t have to translate the plans.
03
Code-first, not vibes
IBC 2024, IRC 2024, IECC 2024, AZ amendments, Phoenix overlay. We cite section numbers in our notes and we keep the books on the desk.
04
Transparent fees
Fixed-fee on 80% of work. Hourly only when scope can’t be defined upfront. No mystery invoices, no surprises at change-order time.
The studio
Eight people. Phoenix. In-house.
We staff every project with a senior drafter as principal-in-charge. No offshoring, no contractors stitched together at the last minute.
