Government drafting services for councils and agencies.
Public infrastructure documentation, as-built drawings and legacy archive digitisation for local, state and federal bodies. Our government CAD drafting services are delivered onshore in Australia to AS 1100 and NCC documentation requirements.
Government bodies manage some of Australia’s largest drawing archives — decades of public buildings, roads, stormwater networks, parks and community facilities documented across paper plans, microfilm and superseded CAD formats. ASTCAD supports councils, state agencies and federal departments, and the engineering consultancies delivering their projects, with drafting capacity for new works documentation, as-built capture and large-scale archive digitisation — delivered with the accuracy, version control and records discipline that public asset management requires.

Built for public-sector procurement
We understand how government buys: defined scopes, fixed-price quotes, clear deliverables and auditable records. Every engagement starts with a written scope and fixed quote within 24 business hours, and every issue of every drawing is logged in a transmittal register so your records are complete at handover. As an Australian company with an ABN, current insurances and onshore delivery, we slot cleanly into council and agency procurement thresholds for direct engagement or quotation processes — and into consultancy supply chains delivering government projects. Our drafters’ project experience includes work for local councils, government bodies and federal infrastructure projects, alongside engineering consultancies such as Aurecon. ASTCAD is also a registered supplier on ICN Gateway, the platform government project owners use to source local industry capability.
Data sovereignty and probity
- Onshore only. All government work performed in Australia by Australian-based staff — project data never leaves Australian jurisdiction.
- Confidentiality. NDAs and confidentiality deeds executed before data transfer where required.
- Records discipline. Versioned drawing registers, transmittals and consistent title-block standards across every issue.
- Conflict-free. Independent drafting service — we hold no interest in construction contracts we document.

Industry Standards & References
Our government drafting work follows AS 1100 engineering drawing practice, the National Construction Code for building documentation, and the drawing and asset-data standards of the engaging authority. Relevant references include Australian Standards, the National Construction Code, and professional accreditation through Engineers Australia. We use AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit and MicroStation as our principal government CAD tools.
Public Infrastructure Project Case Studies
ASTCAD has supported public infrastructure and urban development projects with structural design and documentation.
Mixed-Use Building Design Above an Existing Rail Yard
A complex over-rail development requiring structural design and documentation that worked around live public transport infrastructure. ASTCAD delivered design documentation coordinating structural spans, services and access constraints above an operating Australian rail corridor.

Common questions about our government drafting services for Australian public-sector clients.
Do you work directly with local councils and government agencies?
Yes. We work directly with councils, state agencies and federal departments, and with the engineering consultancies and contractors delivering their projects. Engagements run under defined scopes with fixed-price quotes, making us straightforward to engage within standard procurement and quotation thresholds.
Can you digitise a legacy plan room or drawing archive?
Yes. We convert paper plans, microfilm and superseded CAD formats into organised, searchable DWG and PDF libraries with consistent naming and title blocks — from a few hundred sheets to full plan-room archives, with registers that map every converted drawing to its source document.
What standards do your government drawings follow?
AS 1100 engineering drawing practice as the baseline, the National Construction Code for building documentation, and the engaging authority’s own drawing, CAD-layer and asset-data standards where they exist. As-built drawings are prepared to suit GIS and asset-register integration requirements.
Where is government project data stored and processed?
Onshore in Australia. All drafting is performed by Australian-based staff and project data is held in access-controlled Australian storage — it never leaves Australian jurisdiction. We execute confidentiality deeds before receiving data where required.
How do you handle drawing records and handover?
Every issue of every drawing is logged in a transmittal register with revision control, so at project handover you receive a complete, auditable drawing set with registers — ready for your records management and asset systems.
