Full-Spectrum CAD Drafting Services in Virginia
We draft for all significant areas of architectural and construction documentation. We cover all property types: single-family homes, retail spaces, industrial projects, and multi-storey commercial developments. Here are ways we can help on your next Virginia project:
Architectural Drafting
We develop high-quality architectural drawings for residential and commercial buildings. We provide all drawings to communicate the design intent, show compliance with local codes, and allow contractor pricing for full designs with drawings, including plans, elevations and sections
Structural Drafting
The structural CAD drawings we develop provide further detailing on framing and foundations, reinforcements and load-bearing materials with exact measurements. We help engineers develop exact layouts for framing members for safety and in compliance with state code requirements and ground conditions across Virginia’s varied geography and seismic zones.
MEP Drafting
We develop coordinated Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing drawings for engineers, contractors, and HVAC specialists. These drawings are invaluable for avoiding installation issues and other conflicts and improve productivity on site while under construction.
2D CAD Drafting
We have expertise in the production of neat, clear 2D plans that effectively convey your vision. From schematic layouts to construction sets, our drawings are produced with the intent of getting through permitting and into your project workflow quickly.
3D CAD Modeling
See your design in real life context. Our 3D modeling services are perfect for a client presentation, impromptu design review, or for catching a potential design conflict before it presents itself on site.
As Built Drawings
The drawing documents site conditions as evident at the time of creation and adjusted original plans to reflect the built condition. Critical when renovating or extending or for use in management of a facility in the future.
Shop Drawings
We provide shop drawings for manufacturers and fabricators, which include exacting dimensions, materials, and assembly directions to allow precise prefabrication and installation.
Permit Drawings
We prepare permit drawings that meet Virginia’s statewide building code, locality requirements, and are permit ready. We can ease a permitting pathway that avoids a rejection or rework and speeds up a process that can take months.
BIM Drafting Support
BIM is Building Information Modeling, which allows us to recognize a design conflict early on, manage the teams around that conflict, and keep all parties aware of changes to their project while designing.
Paper to CAD Conversions
Transform your existing printed blueprints, scanned drawings, or hand drawings into editable, accurate CAD files. Our conversions will be clean with no errors, no extra motifs, or mistakes so you can amend, permit (or present) confidently in the CAD environment.
CAD Rendering Services
Impressively present your designs with high-resolution CAD renderings. Our CAD visualization services support the ability for your stakeholders to visualize the layout of your project, design intent, and finish before construction begins.
Remote CAD Drafting
No matter where your Virginia-based project is located, whether it is Fredericksburg or Charlottesville, our remote team works with you in real time. Save time and project risk and get the quality you’ve come to expect without the trouble of managing your own in-house CAD drafting staff.
