Why 3D Design Matters for Your Project
Don’t just "guess" what your home will look like.
At AP Drafting & Design, we believe you should experience your space before the first nail is driven.
The AP Advantage: See It Before You Build It
Every project we handle in Orcutt, Santa Maria and Central Coast area includes a high-detail 3D Digital Model and Photo-Realistic Renders.
Eliminate Uncertainty: Walk through your new ADU or kitchen addition virtually to ensure the layout, lighting, and flow are exactly what you dreamed of.
Save Money on Construction: It is much cheaper to move a wall on a computer screen than it is on a job site. Our 3D process catches design "surprises" early, preventing costly change orders.
Streamline Permits & Planning: Clear visuals help contractors bid more accurately and help planning departments understand your project’s impact on the neighborhood.
"We don't just draw lines; we build your vision in a digital world so you can build it in the real world with total confidence."

About AP Drafting & Design
Hi, I’m Alvaro Perez, the lead designer and founder of AP Drafting & Design.
Based right here in Orcutt, I’ve spent years helping homeowners throughout the Central Coast turn their "napkin sketches" into professional, permit-ready construction documents. Whether you are planning a modern custom home, a sleek ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), or a much-needed kitchen addition, my goal is to bridge the gap between your vision and the local building department.
