What is Architectural Drafting?

Architectural drafting is the technical part of design and involves creating detailed 2D or 3D drawings, blueprints, or models used by county officials, project managers, and foremen. These drafts are designed to translate the original design intent and concept into actionable instructions for construction professionals and utility companies. These drafts provide structural layouts, dimensions, materials, and the appropriate building codes to ensure that commercial and residential construction projects proceed smoothly and on plan. They are also used for official building permits and will be checked against the actual construction process for buildings to be signed off by local state, county and City of Wauseon, Ohio officials. 

why accurate drafting matters.

One of the most important documents supporting your new build or renovation project is your set of drafting documents. Accuracy matters, as these drafting materials serve as the universal technical language that dictates how your specific build turns out. It is not only a building document but also a legally binding plan that ensures all trades execute their work and that the work is signed off by government officials. 

clarity of construction.

When drafting documents, having clear, concise plans will ensure that project managers, contractors, and utility workers know exactly what goes where. These documents are more than just an idea; they provide the exact dimensions, floor plans, and cross-sections to ensure the right materials get to where they need to go and that the full structure comes together as intended. 

Seamless coordination across trades.

Any larger construction site, whether commercial or residential, will have a variety of trades working on it at any one time. These drafting documents provide a synchronized master map that will allow electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and carpenters to know where to add features and where components go. With proper documentation, there is no reason for any of these contractors to conflict with each other. 

Code Compliance and Permitting.

Drafting documents is an essential part of the construction process, as it ensures your building is code-compliant and that you can secure the right permits to keep the project on schedule. When you have proper drafts, you can prove to Wauseon, OH officials that your residential or commercial project complies with local zoning laws, height limits, and building safety codes. 

time and cost efficiency.

There is something to be said for being able to schedule material deliveries and work through a detailed work plan. Well, when your project manager has access to proper documentation, they can identify potential choke points, make quick schedule corrections, and even revise the draft copy when necessary.

What are the documents that you draft?

Generally, there are a few different copies of the drafting documents that professional drafters will prepare. These documents will help the project managers, foremen, and various contractors on-site stay up to date with the latest plans. On the permitting side, various government officials will need different copies to approve building permits and green-light the project. 

Floor Plans.

Floor plans are what you are probably thinking about when you think about these drafting materials. These plans will provide exact room layouts, including utility placement, room dimensions, and door and window placements. 

Foundation Plans.

As the name suggests, foundation plans will lay out where the beams and footings are located and the exact specifications for the concrete to be poured. These plans will mainly be used by the foundation contractors and project managers, and to inform local officials. 

Site Plans.

Site plans are a more general part of the drafting process and detail the property boundaries, site conditions and utility locations if available. These plans are normally confirmed by the county or city to make sure that the proposed building matches the specific lot. 

How does drafting compare to interior or exterior design?

Drafting is a formalized process required under state and county by-laws to ensure that a proposed building meets building code and is on the correct building site. Drafting will include some aspects of interior or exterior design, but is more of a barebones approach that focuses on specific dimensions, utility locations and door and window placements. 

Does every project require custom architectural drafting services? 

Yes, every design-build project is going to require some aspect of custom architectural drafting. Whether we are building an expansion, supporting a new build, or completing a renovation, our project managers and contractors will need drafting materials to guide the process. However, for the vast majority of our jobs in Wauseon, Ohio, we will need drafting documents to secure our building permits. 

Frequently Asked Questions.

Answers You Don’t Need a Hard Hat to Understand.

  • What is included in a normal drawing set?

    A standard set of architectural drawings will include floor plans, cross-sections of the property and proposed building, exterior elevations and detailed assembly views. Other additions can include foundation plans and site plans. 

  • What kind of software is used to create these plans?

    Although these drawings used to be done by hand, today’s drafters use a variety of computer-assisted drafting programs. For 2D renderings, AutoCAD is the industry leader, known for its fluid, clear 2D line work. For 3D modelling, a variety of programs are used, but Revit is the current favorite for Building Information Modelling. 

  • What are the drafting phases?

    Unsurprisingly, there are a few phases of drafting to ensure your designs are accurately matched. The first stage is schematic design, which involves the initial sketches and basic layout of the building. The second stage is design development, during which the drawings will be refined to include materials and dimensions. The final phase is the construction documents, where we produce final drafts and create legally compliant plans for official permitting.
