Design and drafting under one roof

Most design projects need two skills: the judgement to decide how something should look and work, and the discipline to document it so it can be priced, approved and built. Our design services combine both. We develop layouts, forms and details with you, then produce the drawings, models and schedules your contractor, fabricator or council needs.

The services in this category fall into three groups. Product and mechanical design – 3D CAD and machine design. Spaces – homes, interiors, exteriors, landscapes, pools and commercial fit-outs. Trade and production drawings – shop drawings, millwork and glazing drawings, AutoCAD drafting, contract drafting, digitization and measured drawings.

Design support, with the right sign-off

We are a design and drafting team, not your architect or engineer of record. For homes, interiors, landscapes and many fit-outs, our drawings can go straight to your builder or permit office where the rules allow. Where a licensed architect, engineer or surveyor must sign – for example structural elements, larger commercial buildings or planning-sensitive sites – we prepare the drawings for their review and stamp.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between drafting and design services?

Design decides what is built – layout, form, materials and function. Drafting documents it in accurate drawings. Our design services include both: we develop the design with you and produce the drawings.

Do you design homes and interiors for homeowners?

Yes. Homeowners can order home design, interior design or exterior design packages with layouts, 3D views and drawings for the builder.

Can you prepare shop drawings for contractors?

Yes. We prepare shop drawings for millwork, glazing, structural steel, precast and other trades, based on the contract documents and your fabrication methods.

Which software do you use for design work?

AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, SolidWorks, Inventor, 3ds Max, Lumion and Enscape, depending on the service and your workflow.

Can I hire a drafter for ongoing work?

Yes. Our contract drafting service gives you dedicated drafting hours each week or month, billed by the hour or as a monthly retainer.
