Construction-grade documentation
Architectural and Construction Drafting
Architectural and construction documentation for design studios, contractors and engineering firms, covering the drawings required between concept and construction.
Line Draw CAD Lab produces architectural and construction documentation for design studios, contractors and engineering firms. The output covers the drawings required between concept and construction, prepared to the presentation standards the receiving party expects.
The drafter who begins the concept drawings continues through to construction, so the reasoning behind earlier decisions stays with the set. Drafting discipline, CAD formatting and drawing convention come from architectural training rather than being picked up incidentally, and the drafting team is introduced by name.

Why outsource to us
-
Architectural training as the foundation
Our team is drawn from architecturally trained backgrounds. Drafting discipline, CAD formatting and drawing convention are foundational to that training rather than skills acquired incidentally.
-
Continuity across the project
The drafter who begins the concept drawings continues through to construction and as-built documentation, so the reasoning behind earlier decisions is not lost partway through.
-
Coordination across disciplines
Where a project also requires audio-visual documentation, the same practice prepares both, so two consultants do not have to reconcile drawings afterwards.
-
A cost-efficient alternative to in-house drafting
An in-house drafter adds CAD licences, specialised workstations and ongoing software training to a salary. Engaging the practice converts those fixed costs into a project expense.
Who this suits
- Architecture practices needing extra drafting capacity
- Interior design studios that need construction-ready documentation
- Building contractors coordinating drawings from several sources
