Welcome to Aaron Shimizu Drafting! We take pride in the quality of work and customer satisfaction that we give each and every customer! We are known to pay exquisite attention to detail while making customer satisfaction our top priority. Call us today to learn more about how we can help you!
"Aaron Shimizu is the rare architect who’s both design-minded and execution minded. We run Lanikai Homes (high-end renovations + design), and Aaron has been a key partner for us personally and professionally. He’s responsive, communicates clearly, and produces plans that builders can actually build from—no fluff, no confusion, no surprises. The biggest thing that sets Aaron apart is his deep knowledge of Honolulu DPP and permitting. He doesn’t just submit drawings, he knows how to navigate the system, anticipate issues before they become expensive problems, and help people get out of situations they didn’t even know they were in. We’ve seen homeowners buy a house and later discover unpermitted/nonconforming work that can lead to major headaches or fines. Aaron is a wizard at creating a clear path to get things legal and moving forward. If you want someone sharp, practical, and dependable—especially in Honolulu, Aaron is an easy recommendation."
