The Story

Hi there! I’m Matthew Jones, the founder and owner of Slate Drafting, and I’m excited to share the story behind my business and what makes it special.

​

My journey into drafting and design started back when I was studying civil engineering. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in both the concrete and real estate industries. For a decade, I worked on mix designs for concrete projects like bridges, tunnels, and office buildings. On top of that, my passion for renovating houses inspired me to get my real estate license here in Virginia.

​​

A few years ago, my real estate investing hit a roadblock. An architect refused to make changes to a project I was working on, and I couldn’t get the digital files I needed. To make matters worse, I ended up paying way too much for a simple set of drawings from someone else. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands. I invested in the software, leveraged my skills and knowledge of construction, and started creating my own plans.

​

That’s how Slate Drafting was born. It’s built on overcoming the same challenges many real estate investors face. Every drawing I create is backed by years of drafting expertise and the practical know-how of someone who’s been in the trenches of real estate investing.

At Slate Drafting, I’m here to help bring your vision to life with precision and care—without breaking the bank. Let’s make it happen! Welcome to the team.
