Outsource Drafting, Outsource CAD Drafting and Outsource Architectural Drafting
Architecture is seeing development that allows for team work on the internet. People are no longer bound by geographic locations to work together.
Architecture involves multiple disciplines such as structures, mechanical, electrical, and interior processes to name a few. One of the most difficult processes is to manage the documentation involved.
Countless drawings may have to be issued during the design process. The drawings for various disciplines may be issued in various stages of the design or construction. At each stage there may be changes that need to be coordinated in all the documents. This coordination may be a daunting task.
Due to advanced database management software’s available and the internet, all this coordination is possible between the architect, contractor, drafter, owners regardless of location.
Outsourcing is basically sending parts of a project out to a subcontractor for completion. This gives the Architect more control over the production process and also reduces overhead costs due to the fact that they do not have to maintain full time staff for seasonal/ temporary work. We outsource services like Architectural Drafting, Drafting, cad conversions and Cad drafting.
Our Outsourcing Architectural Drafting services include
Site Plans: Although requirements for the amount of data to be presented on each plan may vary according to jurisdictions.
As standard features we place the scale, property lines, bearings, driveways, floor elevations, north sign, contour lines, drainage and water supply, roads and existing and proposed structures on the Site Plan.
Site Analysis Plans: In addition to the above, to get an idea of the proposed designs to existing conditions, a site analysis plan may be drawn, showing the relationship to adjacent properties, roads and facilities.
Landscape Drawings: A landscape drawing needs to clearly define the visual ideas of the designer. We serve as a strategic partner for companies that require Architectural renderings for various landscape amenities and drawings for Green roof design & Tree preservations.
Floor Plans: A key element in all architectural drawings, floor plans need to be definitive and clear so as to represent the Architects designs and at the same time be easy to interpret for the clients and related personnel involved. A large variety of symbols, text, design elements, hatches, lines etc go into the drawings and the drafter has to be careful in ensuring that the plans are legible.
We have built a large library for the same and therefore can give you faster delivery of the drawings drafted in a shorter time frame.
Electrical Plans: Due to our dependency on electrical appliances, the electrical circuit design for any building becomes very important. These also need to comply with minimum codes.
Our experienced drafters can give basic electrical drawings using common codes and appliances after which the Architect may further refine if required.
Plumbing Plans: Using the base floor plan the piping and other plumbing symbols are shown. Separate schedule for plumbing fixtures is also drafted. Isometric drawings of drainage and vent system can be drafted on request.
HVAC: Drawings showing the size, location of all equipment and schedules related to HVAC system. These drawings range from simple drawings showing only the supply and return details to more complicated drawings showing equipment, duct runs, airflow values etc.
Roof Plans: Drawings that explain the shape, material used and vents of the roof.
Roof Framing Plans: These drawings show the size and direction of the construction members that are required to frame the roof.
Foundation plans: Commonly showing the concrete footings and walls and also members that form the floor system.
Elevations: A very necessary drawing in which all exterior visual aspects of a building are designed. Our drafters deftly represent the materials used and render the drawings without unnecessarily crowding the drawing.
Sections: Whether partial or full sections are very important in understanding the basic construction of the building and the materials used for construction. These drawings need to be detailed and labeled with great efficiency and accuracy.
Details: Typically drawn to a larger scale to show areas where several components intersect or where small members are used.
Presentation Drawings: An important tool to any Architect, presentation drawings may consist of most required drawings that help in explaining the design ideas and concepts.
We use multiple graphic software, to create vivid presentations for projects.
Stair Detailing: Stairs being an important feature in most buildings require careful thought and presentation. Sections and plans dedicated to the staircase may become necessary in case of a more complicated design. Our qualified draftsman can draw most staircase details once specified.
