The platform

Design and construction industry,
all in one place.

Draftega is a subscription-based, web-based SaaS platform that uses AI to match licensed architects, engineers, and contractors to projects — connecting property owners, design professionals, technical designers, and product vendors across the design-build industry. Nothing to download.

For Property Owners

Common problems.
Simple solutions.

✗

Hired on gut feel — found out it was the wrong call too late

Search by verified credentials, project history, and peer endorsements with real context. Know who you're hiring before you commit.

✗

✗

Payments feel risky

Funds held 14 days per milestone — only released after you approve.

Describe your project, set a budget, and define the team you need.

Trust is the product.

In this industry, the wrong hire costs months. Draftega is designed so that by the time you shake hands, the hard questions are already answered.

Trust in the People

Identity verified — license numbers or business registration, not just an email

Project history that can't be faked — real records tied to real deliverables

Peer endorsements with context — specific work, not generic praise

Trust in the Platform

Bad actors don't stay — documented ghosting and disputes remain on record

By the numbers

$1.2M+in project value posted
2,500+verified professionals
5,000+products in the marketplace

The professional network built for how construction actually works.

LinkedIn doesn't know what a submittal is. Procore doesn't have a community. And Angi is built for homeowners, not professionals.

Draftega is the first platform designed around the full arc of a career in design and construction — from finding the right collaborators to closing projects to building a reputation that follows you.

Why professionals join

01

Stop re-earning trust on every project

Your track record exists. It's scattered across inboxes, references, and handshakes — and none of it is visible where it matters. Draftega gives it a permanent home: project history tied to real deliverables, peer endorsements with specific context, and verified credentials that can't be faked. Every new relationship starts further ahead.

02

Find collaborators who understand the work

Searching for a structural engineer or a specialty subcontractor on a generic platform means sifting through noise. On Draftega, everyone speaks the same language — RFIs, submittals, change orders, punch lists. The people you need are already here.

03

Stay sharp in an industry that doesn't slow down

Code changes. Materials change. Business models change. The Draftega community is where design and construction professionals share what they're learning — not polished thought leadership, but real-world knowledge from people currently in the field.

Trust in the Process

Contracts and change orders live on-platform — every agreement has a paper trail

Milestone tracking — property owners see progress against real deliverables

Neutral dispute visibility — both sides on record, community sees patterns over time

04

Protect your business, not just your project

Late payments. Scope creep. Clients who disappear. Draftega's project tools are built into the community layer — contracts, change orders, and milestone records live on the platform, not in email threads. Disputes have a paper trail. Both sides have a record. The community sees patterns over time.

Built for working professionals

Draftega is built for the professionals already doing the work — not a generic directory bolted onto a marketing funnel. Every feature exists because someone in design and construction asked for it.

There's no algorithm deciding who gets visibility. No pay-to-play directory listings. Reputation is the only ranking signal.
