Our Civil Drafting Workflow
CAD Drafters has a tried and tested, collaborative, workflow organized for every civil drafting project that allows us to respect due dates and deliverables on bench and full compliance with local standards. The workflow is designed to ease the client through the transition from initial thoughts and survey data to clear, unambiguous construction documents that the contractor can be confident to build from.
Thorough Coordination and Input Gathering
The workflow starts with an in-depth discussion to understand the site conditions, project requirements, applicable codes, and requirements of all stakeholders. We coordinate with civil engineers, surveyors, project managers and other involved professionals to collect all existing data, including surveys, soil reports and utility information, to ensure that we have all source data so that our base drawings are complete and conflict free. Coordinating early in the workflow process reduces work duplication, resulting in accurate plans.
Drafting, Review, and Final Delivery
Once we have all the inputs lined up, our team of professional drafters will create the first draft civil drawings while following good layer management, using industry best practice standards for readability and compliance. Drafts will be share with the client and the engineer for review, and we will address any comments in a timely manner, as well as conduct our standard quality checks for technical accuracy and drawing consistency. Final approved drawings will be delivered in the formats required for permitting, bidding, and construction on your site keeping your project on schedule and budget.
