B & G Drafting Information

B & G Drafting was founded in 1971 as a general drafting service in Springfield, Missouri. The drafting talents of its founders were utilized in a variety of applications, including residential design, mechanical drawings, patent drawings, and technical documentation of existing facilities. Long before computer-aided drafting had been developed, B & G Drafting was producing crisp, highly accurate drawings using the finest manual drafting standards. From the earliest commissions, the firm established a strong reputation for accurate and timely project delivery and for maintaining open lines of communication between all involved parties. At the same time, a special aptitude for residential design was emerging, and prominent residential developers chose this visionary new design company to bring fresh ideas to the Homebuilding Enterprise in Southwest Missouri. Over the next few years, B & G Drafting became a strong influence on the regional housing market, integrating market-sensitive designs, innovations, and economy into outstanding approaches to home design. In 1983, B & G Drafting became a licensed Architectural Corporation in the State of Missouri and expanded its roles to include commercial design and related services for area architects and engineers. The firm's special emphasis on quality Residential Designs continued to grow, however, and continually expanded, even to the present time, as the primary service offered. Today, B & G Drafting employs a talented team of architects and other professionals equipped with state-of-the-art computer-aided design systems and reprographic technologies. One of the firm's founders, Jim Baker, continues to lead the company as President and is the primary design consultant on most new projects. Our firm continues to grow and meet the ever-changing needs of an expanding community.
