The Architectural Design Services You Need to Enhance Your Projects

CAD Drafters provides professional architectural design services, tailored to meet your vision, site conditions, and functional requirements. From single-family residences to commercial developments to large-scale developments, our team of qualified professionals combines creativity, technical skills, and building knowledge to deliver innovative, responsible, and effective designs. Once your project is complete, we can be sure you made all of the correct design choices; the layout, materials, structural systems, and finishes reflect your vision and project requirements.

Residential Architectural Design

We provide residential architectural design for every comfort level and every type of home: single-family residences, luxury estates, multi-unit housing projects, etc. Our designs will take advantage of natural daylight, optimise spaces, and ensure that they represent your lifestyle.

Commercial Architectural Design

In every commercial project we undertake, we focus on creating spaces that promote productivity and flow, as well as a recognisable brand identity. Whether we are designing office spaces, retail centres, flex office spaces, or coworking spaces, we create space to foster collaboration while respecting your business objectives.

Mixed-Use & Retail Developments

We strive to build mixed-use and retail developments that straddle the line between functional and engaging. We develop layouts that promote the right circulation, integrate brand, and achieve spaces that are as engaging as they are efficient.

Hospitality Architectural Design

Hotels, resorts, and diners expect full immersive experiences. We develop hospitality design that provides an experience based on ambience, comfort, and operation. No matter how you lean, the goal is to have every guest experience, ensure the best interaction every step of the way.

Institutional & Educational Architecture

We create schools, libraries, health centres, and public facilities that are inclusive, flexible, sustainable, and user-friendly. Our focus is to consider community, use, and safety according to strict regulations.

Urban Planning & Master Planning

Our architect’s professional development will ensure their Master Plan considers unique long-term growth, various zoning regulations, impact on the infrastructure and environment, while balancing what is practical and what is achievable.

Sustainable & Green Building Design

We promote conscious eco-design strategies such as passive design, various building materials, energy-efficient systems, and the ability to connect and deliver solutions. Our understanding and experience enable collaboration across LEED, WELL, and other certification systems for environmentally conscious projects.

Space Planning & Optimisation

Whether an office space, retail floor, or home layout, we evaluate the flow and functionality of accessing and occupying usable space. Based on our achieved layouts, we can fit and provide efficient solutions to accommodate your needs, comfort, and adapt to changes in your direction with the design.

Custom Architectural Detailing

We design unique architectural detailing for facades, interiors, and structural interiors for all architectural elements. Our design process identifies custom details for your visual identity, all through bespoke design, custom and desired craft workmanship, and design consideration through our process.

3D Modeling & Visualization

Our team produces realistic 3D models and visualisations that allow you to understand the design and construction before starting on the project. Thus, it improves communication, speed and accuracy of decision making, and reduces expensive revisions.

Regulatory & Code Compliance

Following a zoning plan, acquiring permits, or understanding a complex set of codes could be daunting, but we will manage compliance from start to finish to ensure your project complies with all local, regional, and national regulations, including building codes.

Renovation & Adaptive Reuse

Our practice focuses on revising existing buildings to create a modern usable space. Whether adapting an outdated residence or re-purposing an existing commercial building retains the existing character while appropriately managing the design and innovation.

Process Framework for Outstanding Architectural Design Outcomes

At CAD Drafters, our architectural design services follow a consistent and transparent process to get every project from conceptual thoughts to completion. Every phase is essential to obtaining successful architectural design; it is not just a drawing, it is creating a functional, sustainable, and inspiring space. We design a process that keeps you informed and engaged, so you have peace of mind throughout the project, while we can focus on delivering the best solution for you within your time and budget.

Phase 1: Discovery, Concept & Design Development

We prioritise consulting with you to gain clarity on your vision, needs, and functional aspects of the space. We will attend site visits and evaluate your space so we can bring ideas through preliminary sketches, possible layouts, and feasibility studies. Once we have approved a direction, full design development is prepared, which includes detailed plans, elevations, materials, and sustainability applications relevant to your project.

Phase 2: Documentation, Construction & Final Delivery

Once the design has been established, we will prepare detailed documentation, drawings and specifications, taking the extreme and noted variances into account, for contractors to build. We will be in close coordination with engineers, consultants, and suppliers to guarantee that the project is executed on-site. We consider the project complete when we have provided oversight of the construction completion, and the built form reflects the design it demonstrated and is suitable for occupancy or presentation purposes.
