Conceptual & Schematic Design
Craft initial floor plans, massing studies, and schematic site layouts in AutoCAD or Revit to test ideas rapidly.
Permit & Construction Documents
Generate coordinated sets complete with material callouts, dimensioning, schedules, and specification notes.
Architectural CAD Drafting
Layout furniture, millwork, and interior elevations that streamline shop drawing and fabrication processes.
As-Built & Renovation Drawings
Capture existing conditions with field measurements, laser scan conversions, and point cloud to CAD drawing services.
Our Services
2D CAD DRAFTING SERVICES
Our 2D CAD drafting team converts your sketches, PDFs, or hand-drawn plans into clean, editable DWG and DXF files that meet international building codes and local zoning regulations. Using standardized layer naming conventions, custom dynamic blocks, title blocks, and annotation styles tailored to your office standards, we deliver site plans, roof plans, permit drawings, and detail sheets with fast turnarounds. Whether you need a simple 2D drawing or a complete working drawing set, our 2D modeling expertise guarantees precision at every scale
3D CAD DRAFTING SERVICES & 3D MODELING
This service elevates presentations and streamlines coordination by transforming 2D plans into intelligent, metadata-rich models. It provides photorealistic renderings highlighting materials, lighting, and landscape treatments. Embedded metadata enables automatic quantity takeoffs, 6D cost estimation, and 4D scheduling. Animation and fly-throughs are used to visualize complex design intent, allowing clients to see spaces before construction, reducing change orders, and eliminating miscommunication.
BIM DRAFTING SERVICES FOR COLLABORATIVE DESIGN
This service utilizes Building Information Modeling (BIM) to integrate architectural, structural, and MEP systems onto a single, data-rich platform. It coordinates federated models and performs clash detection using Navisworks or BIM 360 to prevent on-site conflicts. It also exports COBie asset data for smooth facility management handovers. Parametric family and system creation ensure consistency across updates, boosting transparency, reducing rework, and delivering superior value to projects.
CAD DRAFTING FOR ARCHITECTS & DEVELOPERS
This service is tailored to the specific needs of architecture firms, realtors, and developers. It provides Architectural CAD Drafting Services that embody the client's design language and brand standards, including floor-to-ceiling detailing, custom joinery, and millwork shop drawings. It also offers rapid site plans and marketing layouts for real estate professionals on tight schedules. The comprehensive 2D and 3D deliverables accelerate design reviews and permit approvals, allowing in-house teams to focus on high-value design work and client engagement.
| CAPABILITY | AUTOCAD DRAFTING SERVICES | REVIT DRAFTING SERVICES |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Deliverables | 2D DWG/DXF drawings | Parametric RVT models & schedules |
| Customization | Dynamic blocks, linetypes, templates | Family creation, project templates |
| Linked References | Xrefs, overlays | Linked RVT/CAD models, worksets |
| Conversion | Raster to vector, PDF to CAD | 3D to 2D view extraction, IFC export |
| Collaboration | Cloud markup plugins | BIM 360 integration, clash coordination |
Combining both platforms, we deliver the right file format and data structure for your downstream workflows.
Our Workflow: From Concept to Construction
Our transparent, milestone-driven workflow keeps you informed in advance. We begin with a discovery and brief phase to nail down scope, design, and deliverable expectations, then move into schematic drafting, producing preliminary 2D CAD drawings or Revit models for your review, and then go ahead. During the design development cycle, we refine plans with precise dimensions, material specs, and annotations according to your feedback and requirements. In the coordination and review stage, we run clash detection, align all disciplines, and gather collaborative markups. Finally, we deliver construction-ready DWG, RVT, and PDF files in your preferred format.
