About Drafting Services in Yellow™

For information regarding drafting services look under this Yellow™ heading. Drafting, also known as technical drawing, refers to creating accurate representations of objects for technical, architectural, and engineering needs. A practitioner of the craft is known as a draftsman. Drafting services can be acquired from drafting firms and also from engineering firms. Draftsmen can assist clients with architectural design from concept to completed project. They are also usually tapped to draft plant upgrades, process flow diagrams, project arrangement and detail drawings, site audits, project engineering management, co-ordination and planning, and other general engineering design and drafting requirements.

Drafting services usually follow a process flow comprising consultation where client explains requirements and draftsmen provide professional advice; draft quotation; site survey; drafting checks; conceptual design drawing; amendments; final design; and architectural documentation. Most firms offer a one-stop shop type of service where customers can avail of drafting, engineering, printing, and copying from just one source. Draftsmen and drafting firms can complete the drawings of the client’s own design or work with them to design buildings or homes from scratch.

Draftsmen today use Computer Aided Design (CAD) to create drafts required by clients. Using computer software not only makes the process more accurate, it also makes it more economical and timesaving for the client. With software, drawings can be produced faster and more accurately than ever before. The Internet allows the modern draftsman to receive project information electronically. This allows them to work remotely, eliminating delays in information flow. Large format drawings can be scanned to a file and uploaded over the Internet eliminating delays and saving on courier costs. Drafting firms can provide drawing files in almost any format required by clients. The primary format used is PDF. Other file formats used include DWF, DWG, DXF, HP/GL-2, and TIFF.
