Permit-Ready Plans, Powered by AI

DraftEngine is Florida's construction plan marketplace — built by engineers, for the contractors who keep Florida building.

Our Mission

Pulling a permit in Florida shouldn't require weeks of engineering and thousands of dollars. DraftEngine exists to make code-compliant construction plans accessible, affordable, and instant for every contractor in the state — from solo operators to multi-crew firms.

We combine professional engineering with AI compliance verification to deliver plan sets that pass permits on the first submission. Every plan is verified against the Florida Building Code (8th Edition, 2023) and your municipality's specific amendments.
