TECHNICAL DRAWING SUPPORT FOR BUILDERS & CONTRACTORS

CADGUYS provides technical drawing and construction package support for builders and contractors who require detailed drawings to price, approve or construct a project. Whether working from planning drawings or early design concepts, we help translate ideas into clear technical documentation suitable for building control approval and construction. 

  Builders and contractors often approach CADGUYS when they require technical drawings to move a project forward.

Common situations include:

• A client has planning drawings but no construction drawings
• A project requires building regulations approval
• A builder needs technical details to accurately price the work
• A contractor requires additional drawings during construction

We help provide the technical clarity needed to build confidently.

 Most builder collaborations begin once a project has received planning approval or when a client approaches a contractor directly with an idea for an extension, loft conversion or new build.

CADGUYS will review the available drawings and project information before preparing a quotation for the required technical package. Where necessary, we can also coordinate with structural engineers, drainage consultants and building control to ensure the project meets all regulatory requirements.

Once instructed, we develop the necessary drawings so the project can be priced, approved and constructed with confidence.

Our technical 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 drawings are developed to ensure the project can be accurately priced, approved and constructed on site.

CADGUYS works directly within your existing drawing standards. We can develop drawings using your DWG templates, title blocks, fonts, line weights and drawing conventions, ensuring the final output aligns with your practice’s existing documentation.

From the perspective of your client, the work appears as a seamless extension of your studio’s output.

CADGUYS works primarily in AutoCAD, producing traditional 2D technical drawing packages including plans, sections, elevations and detailed construction information. This allows us to integrate easily with architectural practices that operate using standard DWG-based workflows.

While we do not typically work directly within Revit or other BIM platforms, we can accept drawings that have been exported or converted to DWG format from 3D modelling software. The final output will still be delivered as clear, structured 2D construction drawings, ensuring they remain suitable for building regulations submissions, tendering and on-site construction.

 Construction projects can often require additional drawings or clarifications as work progresses. CADGUYS can assist contractors by providing:

• Additional construction details
• Design adjustments where required
• Technical support during the build

This helps ensure the project continues to move forward smoothly on site.
