About

Built by drafters, for builders.

Collaborative Excellence in Design

A Phoenix-based studio taking projects in all 50 states — we spend our days inside the IBC, the IRC, and every state amendment — so your contractor can spend theirs breaking ground.

How we got here

A focused practice. No black box.

Archipartners Design started 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 a Phoenix firm with a drafting team that works remotely, and we take projects in all 50 states. Every set opens with a code-analysis sheet. We fix our own drawing errors at no charge, and we answer the phone.

Anchored in Phoenix · Taking projects in every U.S. state

One studio. Projects in all 50 states. A code-analysis sheet on every set.

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.

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.

02

Three languages

This website works in English, Spanish, and Chinese, and your proposal, agreement, estimates, and invoices can also be shown in Chinese (the English version governs). A Spanish drawing set is an add-on, priced per project.

03

Code-first, not vibes

The IBC, IRC and IECC editions your city has adopted, plus every amendment we have encountered. We cite section numbers in our notes and we keep the books on the desk.

04

Transparent fees

Fixed-fee quotes. No mystery invoices, no surprises at change-order time.

The engineers we work with

The other half of every set.

We draw the documents. Independent, registered engineers design and seal the engineered systems inside them — and on our projects that work usually sits with two independent firms we trust completely. Neither one gets called in at the end; both are in the drawings from the first sketch.

Structural

Holmes Engineering and Design

Holmes Engineering and Design (HE&D LLC) is the independent structural engineering firm we work with most, across residential and commercial work. The structure inside our sets is theirs — foundations, gravity and lateral systems, the calcs behind every beam — engineered alongside our drawings from the first sketch, not bolted on after.

They’re the first call we make when a design starts carrying load, and the voice we trust when a plan checker or a framer has a hard question. Project after project, they’ve caught what we couldn’t see, tightened what we drew, and answered the field before the field had to wait.

Their engineers treat our clients’ budgets like their own — right-sizing every member instead of over-building it — and their work comes back fast, coordinated, and buildable. That’s why their name sits next to ours.

PrimeCore Engineering

PrimeCore Engineering is the independent MEP engineering firm we work with most. Everything that makes a building actually work is theirs — load calculations, panel schedules and circuiting, plumbing risers, ventilation and hood exhaust, and the energy compliance a set lives or dies on: Title 24, COMcheck, REScheck, Manual J/S/D.

They are the reason a service upgrade or an energy deadline never turns into a scramble. Their engineers read a set the way a plan checker does, and they tell us what the mechanical room needs while the walls can still move — which is the only time that information is cheap.

Residential, commercial, industrial, and across state lines like we work — their sheets come back coordinated with our drawings and ready to submit. Precision in every project is their line, and our sets are better for it.
