Technical Drawing Support for Architectural Designers

CADGUYS offers architectural design support and technical drawing services for architectural designers and practices in need of additional capacity or specialized technical development. Whether we are assisting with a single project or providing support for a busy workload, we help translate approved planning drawings into comprehensive construction drawing packages that are ready for building control and construction.

Architectural practices often approach us after projects have received planning approval and require further technical development. Our architectural design support services are designed to meet these needs. Common reasons for collaboration include: • Workload exceeding internal studio capacity • Assistance required with building regulations packages • Technical development of approved planning drawings • Support in delivering construction drawing packages. Our role is to act as a technical partner, allowing your practice to maintain control of the design and client relationship while we offer our technical drawing services to support the delivery of the project.

Most collaborations begin once the planning stage has been completed. Typically, the architectural designer will provide the approved planning drawings along with any available supporting information. CADGUYS will review the material and provide a quotation for the technical drawing services, advising if any additional information may be required, such as structural input or drainage details. Once instructed, we develop the approved design into a detailed construction drawing package, suitable for building regulations approval and contractor tendering, offering comprehensive architectural design support throughout the process.

Our construction drawing packages typically include: 

• Detailed construction plans 

• Developed sections and elevations 

• Structural coordination drawings 

• Building regulations compliance drawings 

• Construction details and specifications 

• Optional M&E layouts where required 

These technical drawing services are developed to ensure the project receives comprehensive architectural design support, allowing it to be accurately priced, approved, and constructed on site.

CADGUYS provides comprehensive architectural design support by working directly within your existing drawing standards. We develop drawings using your customized DWG templates, title blocks, fonts, line weights, and drawing conventions, ensuring that the final output aligns seamlessly with your practice’s existing documentation. From your client's perspective, our work appears as a natural extension of your studio’s output.

Specializing in AutoCAD, CADGUYS produces detailed construction drawing packages, including traditional 2D technical drawing services such as plans, sections, elevations, and construction details. This allows us to integrate effortlessly with architectural practices that utilize standard DWG-based workflows.

Although we do not typically operate directly within Revit or other BIM platforms, we accept drawings exported or converted to DWG format from 3D modeling software. Rest assured, the final output consists of clear, structured 2D construction drawings, making them suitable for building regulations submissions, tendering, and on-site construction.

Our service operates on a business-to-business basis, which means CADGUYS provides architectural design support directly to the architectural practice, rather than communicating with the end client. Your practice retains full control of the client relationship, project management, and commercial arrangements, while we focus on delivering high-quality construction drawing packages and technical drawing services. CADGUYS maintains appropriate professional indemnity insurance and takes full responsibility for the drawings we produce.
