The Architectural Engineering Services You Need to Target Your Projects

CAD Drafters offers comprehensive architectural engineering services that couple design creativity with structural, mechanical, and technical success. We provide services for residential homes, commercial projects, and complex urban projects, ensuring that every design produced is original, functional, safe, and code-compliant.Our Architectural Rendering Services Include:

Residential Architectural Engineering

We will design residential buildings that are energy-efficient, safe, comfortable, and structurally integrated and sound for all your housing needs, from single-family homes to multi-unit housing.

Commercial Architectural Engineering

Our office buildings, retail centres, and office spaces are designed to maximise operational efficiencies and brand identity with the safety of those using the facilities, while ensuring all your functional and technical requirements are met.

Mixed-use & Retail Developments

The layouts we produce through engineering consider circulation patterns, accessibility, integration of utilities, and the design aesthetic for all those interacting with the space, whether commercial or residential.

Hospitality Architectural Engineering

Hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues are engineered and designed with operational integrity and user experience, juxtaposed with the visitor experience.

Institutional & Educational Architecture

We will offer Schools, Libraries, and Hospitals or Civic Centres with the safety and accessibility of users, sustainability, and compliance with institutional standards.

Urban Planning & Master Planning

Our engineers take infrastructure, zoning, traffic, and environmental impacts into account when developing master plans that meet the needs of current and future growth and responsible development.

Sustainable & Green Building Design

We incorporate passive design strategies, green materials, and renewable energy systems into projects, assisting clients in meeting LEED, WELL, and other sustainability certifications.

Space Planning & Optimisation

We maximise usable area in various project types, such as residential, commercial and industrial, and take circulation, ventilation, and safety into consideration.

Custom Engineering & Detailing

Unique façades, integrated structural systems and building interior elements can all be engineered toward unique solutions that take durability and performance into account.

3D Modelling & BIM Visualization

Using BIM and other advanced modelling and visualisation tools to produce valuable, accurate and detail-rich scenarios reduces errors, improves communication and collaboration, while efficiently streamlining the construction process through an advanced knowledge of the project.

Regulatory & Code Compliance

We monitor and manage zoning, approvals, all permitting, and our adherence to local, regional and international codes and standards so that your project is always at a fully compliant status.

Renovation & Adaptive Reuse

We ensure existing structures are modernised by upgrading the systems, utilities and operational space configuration, while, where applicable, ensuring the preservation of the character of the existing building.

Process Framework for Effective Architectural Engineering Deliverables

At CAD Drafters, our architectural engineering process is consistent and transparent, guiding you through each phase of the project from concept to completion. We recognise that outstanding engineering extends far beyond just delivering drawings. A great engineering deliverable also achieves structural integrity, function, sustainability, and imagination. Our process lends itself to keeping you in the know throughout while we focus on delivering safe, cost-effective and technical solutions within your schedule and budget.

Phase 1: Discovery, Concept & Engineering Development

The first part of our process is to meet for a detailed consultation to establish your project objectives and operational needs, as well as how the project would work with existing site conditions. We determine informational requirements needed to evaluate the design concept, along with feasibility or site investigation and preliminary drawings for our evaluation of design intent and engineering feasibility. Once we have established the project direction, we develop a detailed design, engineering solutions, along with structural systems, materials, energy performance, and sustainability commitment.

Phase 2: Documentation, Construction, and Final Delivery

Following the approval of the design, our engineers generate documentation that thoroughly covers all facets of the build. They would complete all structural drawings, MEP integration, and contractor specifications. We will maintain dialogue and access to our engineers collaborating with consultants, engineers, and suppliers onsite, so the whole process is seamless. We will remain in communication with you until construction is complete and the built form reflects your design vision.
