About Dean's Drafting & Design

Dean's Drafting & Design is a residential architectural services firm based in Idaho, offering professional design guidance and drafting for property owners and builders across a range of project types. Their scope includes smaller renovations, remodels and additions, accessory structures such as detached garages and shops, single-family residences, and multi-family residences of up to three dwelling units. The firm structures its services around typical design phases: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, Construction Administration, and Record Documentation. This phase-based approach gives clients flexibility in how and when they engage the team. Rather than percentage-based fees, Dean's Drafting & Design uses an hourly not-to-exceed arrangement, providing clients with clear budgetary estimates per phase. The team emphasizes thorough communication, attention to detail, and active design guidance throughout every stage of the process—not simply drafting to specification, but collaborating to vet ideas and refine concepts. Permit submission and review support are included within applicable service phases, and coordination with external consultants is integrated as needed.
