Architectural Drafting Services
From schematic sketches to permit-ready construction documents, our architectural drafting services give your practice a production team that works overnight, to your standards, in AutoCAD or Revit.
Spend Your Hours on Design, Not on Drafting
Small and mid-sized practices face the same squeeze: the work that wins clients is design, but the work that fills the week is production. Redrawing a floor plan after a client meeting, updating six elevations because a window moved, rebuilding a door schedule, chasing sheet references before a permit deadline. Every hour your architects spend there is an hour not spent designing, meeting clients or bringing in the next project.
Our architectural drafting services take that production work off your team. You send the design intent (a sketch, a markup, a schematic model) and we return coordinated drawings on your title block, with your layers, line weights, annotation styles and sheet organisation. Because our drafters work while your office is closed, the drawings are waiting when you arrive. Your team reviews, comments and moves on.
Alongside new design work, our as-built drawings services document existing buildings accurately before a renovation starts. We work for architects, residential designers, home builders, interior designers, design-build contractors and developers. Some send us a single set when a deadline stacks up. Others treat us as a permanent production studio that handles every construction document set they issue.
What We Deliver
Individual drawings or complete, coordinated sets, residential and commercial.
Floor Plans
Dimensioned floor plans with walls, openings, room names and areas, fixtures, furniture layouts and keynotes, at any level of detail from concept to construction.
Elevations and Sections
Exterior and interior elevations, building sections and wall sections showing heights, materials, levels and assemblies, coordinated with the plans.
Construction Documents
Complete permit and construction drawing sets: cover sheet, code and general notes, site plan, plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.
Details and Schedules
Wall, roof, stair and window details, plus door, window, finish and fixture schedules linked to the drawings so they stay current.
As-Built Drawings Services
Existing-conditions and as-built drawings of buildings from your field measurements, photos or point clouds, the starting point for renovations, additions and tenant fit-outs.
Revit Modeling and BIM
Revit models built from your design, with sheets, views and schedules generated from the model, in your template and families.
Residential Drafting
Custom homes, additions, ADUs, remodels and production home plan sets for builders, including framing plans, roof plans, electrical layouts and the details local building departments typically expect.
Commercial Drafting
Retail, office, hospitality and light industrial buildings, tenant improvement and fit-out drawings, reflected ceiling plans, egress plans and area calculations.
Software We Use
We draft in the platform your office already runs. AutoCAD sets are delivered with your CTB or STB plot styles and external references intact; Revit projects are built in your template so families, view templates and sheet numbering behave the way your team expects.
Drawing Standards We Follow
US practices often follow the National CAD Standard and AIA layer guidelines; others have their own office manual. We follow whichever you use: layer naming, line weights, text heights, dimension styles, symbols, sheet numbering and title block fields.
- Your title block, sheet index and revision cloud conventions
- Consistent keynotes and abbreviations across sheets
- Cross-referenced section and detail callouts that actually point to the right sheet
Our Architectural Drafting Process
A process designed to get the first submission right and keep revisions fast.
Brief and inputs
Send sketches, markups, models or existing drawings, plus your template and a sample set.
Questions and quote
We list anything unclear, confirm scope and sheet count, and give you a fixed price and timeline.
Draft and coordinate
Plans, elevations, sections and schedules drafted together so they stay consistent.
QA and handover
Sheet-by-sheet QA, then DWG/RVT and PDF delivery. Your redlines are turned around overnight.
Turnaround and Quotes
Single drawings and redline updates are usually returned overnight. A full residential permit set typically takes a few working days, depending on size and how complete the design input is. Larger commercial sets are scheduled in stages so you can review plans before we move on to sections and details. We confirm the schedule with every quote.
You can pay per sheet, per project or for a dedicated drafter on a monthly basis. Every quote is fixed before work begins. Read more about CAD drafting cost and our pricing models.
