FROM DESIGN INFORMATION TO CAD DOCUMENTATION
Architectural drawings developed around your design intent and CAD standards
Our role is to turn supplied architectural information into clear, editable CAD documentation for design development, coordination, tender, construction and record purposes where included in scope.
Where provided, we can work to client templates, title blocks, layer conventions, drawing numbering, annotation styles and file naming requirements. The scope can range from individual drawing updates to larger architectural drawing packages.
Architectural design responsibility
Architectural design decisions, statutory compliance, planning strategy, Building Regulations assessment and professional approval remain with the appointed architect, designer, consultant or other responsible project professional. Our service documents and updates the information supplied within the agreed CAD drafting scope.

FAQ
Common architectural CAD drafting questions
What does architectural CAD drafting include?
Depending on the supplied design information and agreed scope, architectural CAD drafting can include floor plans, elevations, sections, details, interior drawings, drawing revisions, as-built updates and 3D architectural CAD models.
Do you provide architectural design or planning advice?
No. Our service is CAD drafting and documentation support. Architectural design, planning strategy, statutory compliance and professional approval remain with the appointed architect, designer, consultant or other responsible professional.
Can you create drawings from sketches, PDFs or markups?
Yes. We can develop architectural CAD drawings from supplied sketches, PDFs, markups, existing drawings and other project information where the source material is clear enough to reproduce accurately.
Can you prepare planning, tender or construction drawings?
We can provide CAD drafting support for these project stages where the architectural design information, required content and responsible professional review are supplied as part of the scope.
Can you update as-built drawings?
Yes. Architectural CAD drawings can be updated from supplied survey information, verified site records, redlines or project markups. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy of survey information unless specifically included in a separate agreed scope.
Can you create 3D architectural CAD models?
Yes. We can develop 3D architectural CAD geometry from supplied design information to support visualisation, coordination and drawing production.
What file formats can you deliver?
Common deliverables include DWG, DXF and PDF. Required software versions, layers, title blocks and file naming standards should be agreed before production begins.
