Why hire a Building Designer?

OM Design is the practice of a licensed Building Designer, not an architect. For most residential and small commercial projects, this distinction is your biggest advantage.

  • Lower overhead means significantly lower fees for your client
  • Faster turnaround times on drawing sets
  • Highly pragmatic, construction-focused approach
  • Same code compliance and permit approval capabilities

"OM Design changed how we operate. We used to wait months for simple permit sets from architects who overcomplicated everything. Now we get clean drawings faster, and our permits actually clear."
