Architecture Rooted in Technical Precision
Apex Architecture Inc was founded on a singular principle: design excellence is only as powerful as the construction documents that execute it. We bridge the critical gap between conceptual design and jobsite assembly.
Zero-Clash Tolerance
By modeling every project in multi-discipline BIM environments (Revit & Navisworks), we catch clashes in the virtual model before they trigger expensive change orders on the jobsite.
50-State Code Mastery
From California Title 24 energy mandates and seismic engineering to Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zones and New York Local Law 97, our drawing sets adhere to strict municipal requirements.
Agile Delivery Speed
Our cloud-integrated drafting infrastructure operates with dedicated shift schedules, empowering us to turn around permit redline comments and fabrication shop drawings in 24 to 72 hours.
How does an Apex Architecture engagement run?
Every engagement follows the same four-stage sequence, whether the scope is a single residential remodel set or a multi-discipline commercial package. First, briefing: you share drawings, surveys, or even hand sketches plus the permit jurisdiction, and a dedicated lead confirms scope, timeline, and deliverables — then issues a fixed-fee proposal within 24 business hours. No hourly metering, no open-ended discovery phases.
Second, modeling: our CAD and BIM technicians build the drawing set in the tools your reviewers already trust — AutoCAD for 2D documentation, Revit for coordinated BIM, Navisworks for clash detection. Third, coordination: structural load paths, MEP clearances, and envelope attachments are checked against the governing code (IBC, IRC, and state amendments like California Title 24 or Florida HVHZ) before anything is issued. Fourth, delivery: permit-ready sets in 3–5 business days, with redline responses and fabrication shop drawings turned around in 24 to 72 hours.
The same lead who scoped your project reviews the final sheets for code compliance and constructability. That continuity — one accountable reviewer from brief to issue — is what keeps our drawing sets permit-ready on first submission across all 50 states. Explore our full service catalog or browse coverage by state to see the codes and climate data we design against in your jurisdiction.
What codes and standards do you design against?
Every drawing set is authored against the model codes your permit reviewer enforces: the International Building Code and International Residential Code as the baseline, plus the state amendments that actually decide approvals — California Title 24 energy provisions, Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, Texas Windstorm details, New York Local Law 97, and Chicago's energy and structural amendments. Our state coverage directory documents the governing code, climate zone, seismic classification, and design wind speed for each of the 50 states, so the jurisdiction-specific inputs are visible before you ever request a proposal.
Coordination follows the same discipline: architectural, structural, and MEP systems are modeled together, clashes resolved virtually, and sheets issued to National CAD Standards layering. Our technical guides walk through the same coordination references our technicians use — including HVHZ detailing, shop-drawing workflows, and zero-clash MEP practices.
