Get Every Sheet Right Before It Reaches the Field

Every unclear detail or conflicting sheet becomes an RFI, a rejection or a change order. Our coordinated, code-checked model drawings get it built right.

Where margin leaks

Every Drawing Error Costs Your Margin

On large programs, small drawing errors multiply across trades and become RFIs, rework or change orders.

  • Incomplete Details

    Where margin leaks
    Details left open in the set are decided on site, by whoever is there, at whatever it costs.
    What we fix
    Every assembly, junction and interface detailed before the set is issued.

  • Conflicting Sheets

    Where margin leaks
    Plans, sections and schedules disagree, and the wrong one gets built.
    What we fix
    Every sheet generated from one model, so a change updates everywhere at once.

  • Code and Permit Issues

    Where margin leaks
    Drawings that miss code requirements fail review, adding resubmittals and delay.
    What we fix
    Sets checked against the applicable codes before release, so permits come back faster.

  • Revision Errors

    Where margin leaks
    Late changes miss some sheets, so crews build from outdated drawings and rework follows.
    What we fix
    Controlled revisions, with every affected sheet updated and clearly tracked.

The More We Detail, the Fewer RFIs You Get

Thin drawing sets come back as RFIs and change orders. Overdrawn sets spend fees on detail no stage needs.

  1. Architectural model at LOD 100: massing only
    LOD 100

    Concept

    Massing Studies

    owners & developers

    Test massing and zoning before any design fees are spent.

    What we model
    Massing, site layout, heights and early area studies.
    What it protects
    Protects your feasibility budget
  2. Architectural model at LOD 200: walls, roofs and openings in grey
    LOD 200

    Schematic Design

    Early Drawings

    owners & architects

    Price the layout realistically before changes move downstream.

    What we model
    Preliminary plans and elevations, cores, circulation and openings.
    What it protects
    Protects the early cost plan
  3. Architectural model at LOD 300: accurate geometry and materials
    LOD 300

    Design Development

    Coordinated Drawings

    Where most margin is protected

    Typical for permit drawings

    architects & engineers

    Submit permit drawings already coordinated with structure and MEP.

    What we model
    Dimensioned plans, sections, wall types, levels and coordinated interfaces.
    What it protects
    Fewer RFIs, smoother permit approval
  4. Architectural model at LOD 350/400: build-ready detail with finishes
    LOD 350/400

    Construction Documents

    Build-Ready Sets

    general contractors & trade partners

    Issue complete sets contractors can price and build from without guessing.

    What we model
    Details, junctions, tolerances, schedules, penetrations and specifications.
    What it protects
    Fewer change orders, fewer site errors
  5. Architectural model at LOD 500: as-built record with site and landscape
    LOD 500

    As-Built

    Record Drawings

    owners & facility teams

    Hand over record drawings that match what was actually built.

    What we model
    Field changes, confirmed dimensions and final layouts.
    What it protects
    Predictable renovation cost

How it works

From Model to Issued Set

Every sheet comes from one coordinated model, so changes stay consistent across the set.

  1. 01

    Share Documents

    Send drawings, models and specs. We confirm scope, deliverables and dates in writing.

  2. 02

    Model and Document

    Plans, sections and details are produced from one model, so every sheet stays consistent.

  3. 03

    Check and Release

    Senior review to IBC, ADA, the NCC and AS 1100 drafting before each set is issued.

  4. 04

    Construction Support

    Fast RFI answers and revisions as the job progresses, so the issued set stays current.

What clients ask first

Construction Drawings: Common Questions

Straight answers from our engineering team. If your question isn’t here, ask us directly.

Ask a senior engineer An engineer replies within one business day.
What do your architectural construction drawings include?

Plans, sections, elevations, details and schedules contractors use to price, permit and build, produced from one model in your templates.

Which codes do you follow, and who is responsible for the design?

IBC and ADA for US projects; the NCC and AS 1100 for Australian projects. Design responsibility stays with your architect or engineer of record, who reviews and seals the set. Bimgraphix does not stamp drawings; we answer for every sheet matching your design inputs, and any gap is raised as an RFI, never guessed.

How do you make sure the set is right?

Sheets come from one coordinated model, cross-references and schedules are checked, and the set is senior-reviewed before release.

How are fees and schedules set, and can you handle large programs?

Fees and delivery dates are fixed in a written proposal from your scope, priced per sheet or per package, before any work starts. Large programs are released by package, such as permit, tender and construction, with the team sized to your schedule. Revision rounds are agreed up front, and anything outside scope is quoted before we do it.

How do you protect our drawings, models and data?

We sign your NDA before any files are shared. Your models and drawings remain your property, exchanged through Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore or a secure link, and access is limited to the team on your project.
