How it works

Simple, structured, no guesswork.

From jobsite to project deliverables for drafting, ODT runs on a standardized process that streamlines communication for KB Companies and Drafters.

01

Submit a project

Standardized drafter handoff captures measurements, cabinet line, appliances, deadline. No back-and-forth.

02

Get matched

Vetted Drafter who knows your cabinet line, uses the spec book and design softer is chosen by you and is assigned to your project. Questions, talk to ODT.

03

Work directly

You and your drafter communicate directly through the platform. No middleman, no telephone game.

04

Approve and pay

Drafter finalizes project; you approve in the deliverables in our Drafter Handoff after reviewing logged hours and box count, and finalize payment.

05

Feel relief

You've completed the drafting portion for your project. We recommend going through a minimum of 5 projects per month utilizing the Drafter Handoff.

Why KB companies pick ODT

Not overseas. Not an agency. Not another freelancer site.

ODT was built by kitchen and bath people who lived the problem, and chose to solve it the right way.

01

North American drafters. Always.

No overseas handoffs. No time-zone lag. No translation gap on "a standard American kitchen."

02

Pre-vetted talent.

Every drafter completes a real sample project before they're approved. Vetted drafters in your desired design program chosen by you.

03

Cabinet-line matched.

Filter by 2020, Chief Architect, SketchUp, Pro Kitchen, and by cabinet brand catalogue expertise.

04

Scales with you.

We recommend 5 projects your first month to become fully in love with the ODT. We promise you will love it. You may only have one the following month, 10 the next, you choose. Pause anytime. No contracts, no minimums.

05

Protected on both sides.

Our Client Success Manager monitors every project. If something goes sideways, we catch it early.

06

Built by industry veterans.

We built ODT because we lived with the pain, felt the problem, wanted a solution, and the ODT became that solution for us. We use it daily in our business, and we want you to have that same drafting relief.

Meet Ryan. He picks up the phone.

Ryan runs ODT day-to-day. He's the one you talk to when you want to understand if ODT is a fit, not a sales rep, not a gatekeeper.

You'll work with the Client Success Manager team day-to-day. But any time you need the founder, Ryan's a reply away. That's the promise.

"We built ODT because we watched cabinet dealers lose sales waiting on design. There's a better way. That's what this is."

Why Orange Design Team, and why now?

I've built teams, scaled divisions, and launched online platforms. And here's the truth: every business owner in this industry faces the same challenge.

There is more opportunity than capacity, but burnout is real and that is why the ODT works with the strongest designers who are in it to create remarkable spaces.

Every great kitchen and bath company deserves bench strength behind it, and every owner deserves to stop worrying about the drafting pile on someone’s desk. Providing you relief from the real issue.

Common questions

What people ask us.

How is ODT different from overseas design services?

+
Every ODT drafter is based in the U.S. or Canada. That means same time zone, no translation gap, and fluency with American kitchen standards; cabinet lines, appliance specs, code, and the aesthetic expectations your customers walk in with. You don't save money with overseas if you lose the job or rework the plans.

What does it cost?

+
Hourly rate varies by drafter based on experience, software, and cabinet-line expertise — transparent up front, before any work begins. In addition to the hourly rate paid to your drafter, per project both Kitchen & Bath Companies and Drafters pay a nominal monthly subscription fee. Both parties invest in access to the platform and the best customers to work with.

Do you work with specific cabinet lines?

+
We draft in many different cabinet lines and want to learn what you offer, or as a drafter what lines are you familiar with. We aim to pair KB companies with Drafters who have demonstrated design success and skills within the lines they carry. Each drafter also places what lines they are familiar with on their profile. Drafters design in 2020 Design Flex, Chief Architect, Sketch-up, and utilize the latest AI technology.

What if a project goes wrong?

+
Our Client Success Manager monitors every project on both sides. If a deliverable doesn't meet spec, we catch it early — and we don't leave either party to manage a difficult situation alone. Both KB companies and drafters rate each project, which protects the quality of the network over time.

How soon can we start?

+
A 20-minute call is the first step. If ODT is a fit, we can typically have your first project matched to a drafter within a week. No long onboarding — we meet you where you are.
