As a Certified Professional Building Designer and Professional Member of the American Institute of Building Design, I realize there is much more to designing a living environment than simply arranging rooms. The process of a successful design begins with the ability to listen to a client and help them to visualize a space and realize their design intent. There are not only aesthetic issues to consider, but also structural design and code requirements to follow. During a project I use all of the resources at my disposal to help you understand and to guide the project to a design that meets all of these factors.

### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Scott Maurer, Sept. 2022**

> As a contractor, it is important to me to work with a designer who thinks about things that I don't.  Steve is this kind of designer.  He is a great team player, creative, and knowledgeable.  He listens carefully to my customers and brainstorms ideas such that we eventually land on a great design that my customers love and that I can build.  Steve has a great balance between right brained and left brained thinking which I appreciate.  I highly recommend him!

**★★★★★ — Teja Mandava, July 2026**

> I had a fantastic experience working with Steve on my garage/ADU project in Charlotte. Steve is incredibly easy to work with—always responsive, clear in his communication, knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. He took our unique vision and turned it into seamless, actionable plans effortlessly. If you want an architect who listens carefully, works fast, and delivers exceptional drawings, Steve is your guy. Highly recommended!

**★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Feb. 2026**

> Steve of Advanced Drafting & Design exceeded our expectations in helping us realize our vision for our guest house. Not only is he very talented,  he was so very easy to work with -  from concept meeting to finalizing plans.   Our project was delivered perfectly and ahead of schedule.

**★★★★★ — opkmarine, Nov. 2025**

> Steve was very professional and easy to work with. He got to my design in a very timely fashion. I needed professionally designed plans but couldnt pay the very high prices of other architectural engineers. I would definitely recommend Advannced Drafting and Design.

**★★★★★ — eekflower, Feb. 2022**

> I would highly recommend Steve at Advanced Drafting & Design.  We had spoken with several architects before someone recommended Steve, and we couldn't be more pleased with his work.  The architects all wanted to erase all of our planning and start from scratch, but we had put years of planning into what we wanted with our renovation.
>
> Steve took our design concept and converted it into construction plans for our renovation.  He didn't try to reinvent the wheel but provided valuable input throughout the process.  His ideas were key to refining the design to something that we are very happy with.
>
> Steve was able to complete our plans before we would have even been able to get an appointment to meet with one of several local architects, and for a fraction of the cost.  The house is currently under construction, and it is exciting to watch it being built.  Can't wait to see the finished product.  Thank you Steve!!

**★★★★★ — Chris, Jan. 2022**

> Steve really knows his craft, and was VERY helpful in talking thru options and listening to our needs/wants, helping us figure out what we could and could not do within our budget. Creative, Experienced & Patient to a fault!  If you need design work, you need to call Steve!

**★★★★★ — iamlynch1, Jan. 2022**

> Steve is awesome to work with! He is very knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. He really captured our ideas accurately in order for us to make our home our own.

**★★★★★ — LM Remodel LLC, July 2020**

> I have used Advanced Drafting now for several projects, Steve at Advanced has met our goals as well as the clients. He delivers what he promises in a clear and professional manor, this makes it easy for us to hand Advanced a project that needs drawing, without us having to over think minor details. LM Remodel

**★★★★★ — Samantha Knighton, July 2020**

> I was building a garage and needed a drawing for the county to approve my building permit.  Steve was very helpful and understanding as I was trying to get things updated quickly to get the permit.  Steve was able to make all the updates needed quickly and make it look exactly how I wanted for the county to approve the building permit.  Very easy to work with, on time and within budget.  Steve was fantastic, in fact I am planning on using him again for anther project I hope to put in later this fall or early next year.
