Our Approach to Construction Drafting Services

Planning Process Overview

Concept Development

Our process starts with understanding your project requirements and objectives. We create initial sketches and renderings based on client needs, site conditions, and functional requirements. These early visuals help gather feedback and ensure all stakeholders align with the project vision.

Schematic Layouts

After the concept is approved, we move to schematic layout creation. This phase involves detailed drawings that outline the project’s layout and key components. These visuals provide a clear view of the project’s scope.

Detailed Layouts

In this stage, our experts develop refined drawings. They specify materials, dimensions, and construction methods.

Construction Documentation

Finally, we produce comprehensive construction documents, including architectural, structural, and MEP drawings. These documents provide the detailed information needed for accurate cost estimation and contractor bidding.

Drafting Process Breakdown

Technical Drawings

Our drafters use advanced CAD software to produce precise technical drawings. These include detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections that represent every aspect of the construction project. Technical drawings provide a clear and accurate visual guide for builders and contractors, ensuring that every detail of the work is communicated effectively.

Material Specifications

In drafting, specifying materials is crucial for accurate estimating. We detail the types, sizes, and quantities of construction materials in the drawings. This includes identifying different materials used in various parts of the project and their exact measurements. Accurate material specifications are essential for determining costs and ensuring that the correct materials are ordered and used.

Dimensioning and Annotation

Precise dimensioning and annotation are vital in drafting to ensure clarity and accuracy. We provide exact measurements and notes on the drawings to avoid misunderstandings during construction. This helps in calculating material quantities and ensuring that all construction components fit together as intended.

The Role of Drafting in Construction Estimating

Quantity Takeoff:

Drafting provides the detailed drawings needed for accurate quantity takeoffs. Our estimators use these drawings to calculate the materials required, such as the volumes, areas, and lengths of walls, floors, and structural elements. This ensures precise estimates of the materials needed for construction.

Cost Estimation:

Our estimators use drafting documents to assign costs to materials and labor. By considering current market rates and specific project details, we create accurate cost estimates that include all project expenses, ensuring a clear understanding of total costs.

Schedule Development:

Drafting helps in planning the construction schedule by defining the timeframes for early planning and documentation phases. This allows for effective scheduling of material procurement, subcontractor work, and project milestones, keeping the project on track.
