We Know Your Materials

We Speak Builder’s Language

At TIA ARCHITECTS+DRAFTING, we understand that the difference between a successful project and a frustrating one often comes down to the details. That’s why our team is well-versed in the materials, fasteners, and connectors commonly used in deck, ADU, and residential construction.

Whether your project calls for pressure-treated wood, steel framing, or a mix of materials, our plans reflect the reality of what will be built. We specify framing layouts, member sizes, and connection methods that align with your crew’s practices, helping ensure a smoother build and reducing surprises on-site.

Our experience with common construction methods allows us to produce drawings that aren’t just technically correct, but practical to build from. This builder-centric approach also benefits permitting, as clear, material-aware plans are easier for reviewers to understand and approve. By speaking your language, from fasteners to finish materials, we bridge the gap between design and construction, making our drawings a reliable tool for both builders and homeowners alike.
