Architectural Drafting Services

We produce 2D architectural drawing sets from concept and design development drawings through to construction documentation — floor plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules — drafted to a consistent, checkable standard.

This includes renovation and extension drawings, interior and joinery documentation, and retail fit-out drawings, along with 3D architectural modelling and rendering where a project needs visualisation alongside its documentation set.

Drawings are produced in your practice's template and layer standard where supplied, and we can work from hand sketches, marked-up plans, or an existing model that needs updating or documenting. A practice's drawing standard is often the accumulated result of years of client feedback and coordination lessons, and we treat it as something to be followed precisely rather than a starting point to improve on unasked.

Coordination across the drawing set is where a lot of documentation quality is actually won or lost — a floor plan that doesn't match the reflected ceiling plan, or a door schedule that's out of step with the plan callouts, creates exactly the kind of confusion that generates costly requests for information during construction. We check dimensional and schedule consistency across the full set, not just within individual sheets.

For renovation and extension work specifically, the existing-conditions plan is often the single most important sheet in the set, because every subsequent decision depends on it being accurate. Where survey information is incomplete or old, we flag the gaps rather than quietly filling them with assumptions that could mislead a builder on site.

Retail and commercial fit-out documentation carries its own pressures — short programmes, landlord base-building constraints, and joinery that has to be both buildable and true to the design intent. We draft joinery detail with enough dimensional information that a joinery workshop can quote and build from it directly, rather than a schematic-level drawing that still needs another round of detailing before it's usable.

A drawing set's usefulness during construction is often determined by decisions made much earlier, at documentation stage — whether a tricky junction got a proper large-scale detail rather than being left to a general section, whether schedules were actually cross-checked against the plan rather than compiled independently, and whether the drawing set anticipated the questions a builder would ask rather than only the questions an approval authority would ask. We draft with both audiences in mind from the start.

Approval authority requirements differ enough between jurisdictions that a documentation set produced for one area's standard notes and submission format doesn't necessarily transfer cleanly to another. Where you supply the specific authority's requirements, we match them precisely, since a resubmission caused by a formatting mismatch is a wholly avoidable delay to an approval timeline that's usually already tight.
