D How we work on this
From your brief to a delivered set, with a Principal on it.
Scope it
A free 30-minute call with the Principal. We agree the deliverable, the standard and a fixed fee before any work begins.
Produce
Your template, title block and conventions. We draw it the way your studio would, with checkpoints if you want them.
Founder review
The Principal Architect reviews the set before it leaves the studio. Judgement travels with the file.
Deliver
On the date agreed, native files plus PDF, with one revision round built in and your IP handed over in full.
E Is this a fit?
A studio partner, not the cheapest hour on the internet.
A good fit if…
- You need production capacity without losing design intent.
- You have a house standard, template, title block, layers, you want followed exactly.
- You would rather a fixed fee and a named Principal than an hourly black box.
- You value a senior set of eyes on the work before it reaches you.
Probably not, if…
- The only thing that matters is the lowest possible hourly rate.
- You want someone to invent the design from scratch with no brief.
- You would skip the founder review to save a day, it is the point.
G Questions
Before you brief us.
Will you really use our standards? +
Yes, that's the point. Send your template, layer convention and a sample set; we match it so the drawings look like your studio drew them.
What software do you draft in? +
AutoCAD and Revit primarily. We deliver native DWG/RVT plus PDF, and keep your sheet structure intact.
How do you handle revisions? +
One revision round is built into every set; further rounds are billed per sheet so you're never surprised.
What if my CAD standard is messy or undocumented? +
Most firms don't have a clean written standard, and that's fine. We reverse-engineer it from two or three of your past sets and confirm the conventions with you before drawing. You get consistency without writing a manual first.
