Drafting services across every discipline

ASTCAD’s drafting services cover the full engineering spread from one team: mechanical drafting for manufacturers and fabricators, structural drafting and steel detailing to AS 4100, architectural documentation for DA and construction, electrical schematics and switchboard drawings, and civil documentation for subdivisions and infrastructure. One drafting partner across disciplines means multi-discipline projects stay coordinated — the structural drawings agree with the mechanical services penetrating them, because the same office produced both.

How our drafting services work

Every engagement follows the same rhythm: you send drawings, markups, sketches or scan data; we confirm scope and quote fixed where the scope allows; drafting proceeds to Australian Standards with your CAD conventions applied; and you receive editable native files plus PDF sets, verified before issue. Turnaround for typical packages runs from 48 hours for small drawing sets to scheduled delivery for programs, and a dedicated contact carries your project knowledge across every job you send.

Who uses ASTCAD drafting services

Engineers use us as their drawing office; fabricators send shop drawing packages; builders send documentation for approval and construction; architects send production documentation overflow; and manufacturers send everything from reverse engineering to patent drawings. The portfolio pages document the range — and the constant across it: drawings the recipient could build from without a phone call.

Get a free quote within 24 hours: send your drawings or a project description through the contact page, and we will confirm scope, price and delivery before you commit to anything.

Standards, software and quality

All drafting services are produced to the Australian Standards governing the discipline — AS 1100 drafting conventions throughout, AS 4100 for structural steel, AS/NZS 3000-aligned electrical documentation, and the NCC where building work applies. Software follows the client rather than the other way around: AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, Inventor, MicroStation, Civil 3D and the rest of the mainstream toolchain are in daily use, with your layers, title blocks and numbering applied so our sheets are indistinguishable from yours. Every package passes an independent check before issue — a second drafter reviews against the source markups, because the errors a checker catches cost minutes and the errors a builder catches cost thousands.

Common questions about our drafting services

Turnaround is the first question: small packages typically deliver inside 48 hours, and larger programs run to an agreed schedule with progressive issues. Pricing is fixed-quote wherever scope is defined, hourly only where genuine uncertainty makes fixed pricing dishonest. Files are yours: native DWG or RVT plus PDF, with no lock-in to our involvement. Confidentiality is standard — NDAs signed before commercial material is shared — and Australian ownership means your project data stays under Australian jurisdiction, a question defence and infrastructure clients rightly ask.

Explore drafting services by discipline

Each discipline has its own hub with sub-services, standards detail and project examples: mechanical drafting services covers the 22 mechanical sub-services from 2D drawings to FEA; structural drafting carries steel detailing, shop drawings and AS 4100 design; architectural drafting handles residential and commercial documentation; and civil works services takes subdivisions, drainage and infrastructure. City pages for Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth cover local engagement, while everything above is delivered Australia-wide as standard.
