We develop functional layouts that encourage balance and use of private offices, collaborative spaces, and workflow efficiency at the same time. CAD Drafters can create the right layouts for stand-alone cubicle layouts, open-space layouts or executive-type suites. We provide both 2D floor plans and 3D models that allow you to visualize the whole space before, let us say, starting construction.
Restaurant and Café Design
We offer CAD Drafting for food and beverage establishments, which includes layouts for Kitchens, seating layouts, ventilation layouts and, of course, health codes. Our floor plans are developed to ensure proper movement through the space, adequate ambiance, and efficient use of space.
Hotel and Hospitality Design
Our full-service CAD support encompasses lobby areas, guest rooms, and service corridors for hotels, resorts, and inns. We focus on space optimization, safety issues, and welcoming clients using comprehensive spatial planning and collaboration during interior design.
Healthcare Facility Design
Space planning, equipment placement, and code requirements are always important requirements of hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices. When we draft layouts for these types of facilities, we take into account patient flow, comfort, and safety in regard to medical practices and standards in the health building system.
Warehouse and Industrial Design
With warehousing and manufacturing facilities, the parametrics for the layout are always focused on maximizing space, occupant workflow, and safety. Most of our CAD plans specify racking layouts, pathways for material handling, and services for utilities.
Mixed Use Development Planning
We plan commercial spaces that fit inside mixed-use developments that occupy residential, retail, and office land uses commonly seen together. Through advanced CAD strategies, we help define zoning boundaries, site flow for vehicles and pedestrians, service access, and code compliance.
Commercial Renovation & Retrofits
For renovations, we provide as-built drawings, demolition plans, and redesign solutions that preserve existing infrastructure while modernizing inefficient layouts. Phased CAD drawings are supplied so that there is minimal disruption to operations.
MEP Coordination for Commercial Projects
The Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems must be perfectly integrated with your planned space. Our design team will coordinate with MEP engineers and provide accurate drawings that will unify the design approach without conflicts or delayed installations.
Code & ADA Drawings
All our commercial design packages are submitted with reference to local building codes, fire codes, and accessibility (ADA) legislation. We want to avoid costly drawing revisions and ensure successful approval from your local regulatory boards.
Brand-Based Design Services
We recognize that commercial space is brand think. So further to your actual design spaces, we plan with your branding in mind when making decisions on spatial orientation and allocating signage so we can ultimately design a space that is true to your brand and immediately recognizable to your audience.
3D Visualization and Rendering
Before you even put a shovel in the ground, see your space come to life, digitally. Our photorealistic 3D visuals and walk-throughs illustrate how your commercial concept will actually look. It also helps stakeholders, investors, and tenants to visualize what the end result will be.
