What our electrical drafting covers
Electrical drawings have two audiences: the inspector, who checks the design against the wiring code, and the electrician, who installs from it. We draft for both – clear device layouts and circuiting on plans, and accurate single-line diagrams and panel schedules that agree with each other.
For buildings we draft lighting, power, fire alarm, data and security layouts on the architectural background. For industrial clients we use AutoCAD Electrical to produce ladder schematics with cross-references, wire numbers, terminal plans and panel layouts with bills of materials.
Homeowners and contractors who need a permit package for a service upgrade, EV charger or addition should see electrical permit drawings. For PV systems, see solar design services.

Electrical Drafting Services standards in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia
We set up every project on the standard of the country where it will be built or manufactured. These are the references we work to most often:
| Country | Standards and codes we draft electrical drafting services to |
|---|---|
| USA | NEC (NFPA 70, 2023 edition or as adopted), NFPA 72 fire alarm, IEEE 315 symbols, NFPA 79 for industrial machinery |
| UK | BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations, 18th Edition), BS 5839 fire detection, BS EN 60617 graphical symbols |
| Canada | CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part I, CAN/ULC-S524 fire alarm installation |
| Australia | AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules, AS 1670.1 fire detection, AS 1102 graphical symbols |
How our electrical drafting services process works
- 1Send your files
Upload sketches, PDFs, markups, photos, scans or a model through the quote form. Tell us the standard (US, UK, Canada or Australia) and the deadline.
- 2Fixed quote in hours
We review the scope and reply with a fixed price, the deliverables list and a delivery date. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 3Drafting & modeling
Your project is drawn in AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks or the software you use, on your title block, layers and templates.
- 4QA check
A second drafter checks dimensions, annotations, layer standards, sheet numbering and cross-references against your input before anything is sent.
- 5Delivery & revisions
You receive native files plus PDFs. Comments come back as markups and we revise them quickly until the set matches the brief.
Turnaround and pricing
Electrical layouts for a typical commercial floor or a set of 20–30 schematic pages take 2–5 business days. Every job is priced as a fixed quote after we review your files, so you know the cost and the delivery date before work starts. See how our pricing works, or send your files through the quote form for a quick estimate.
