Shop drawings.

Drafting is the bottleneck that stops the floor. When the queue runs longer than the calendar the work goes out, and the only question that matters is whether the set that comes back is one your shop can build from.

What you get

• A full submittal set — cover, plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and install sheets — numbered n OF n, with a revision block that carries every issue.
• Callouts reconciled in both directions before it leaves: no callout pointing at a detail nobody drew, no detail nobody called.
• Drawn against the standard your submittal is reviewed to, and said plainly on the sheet which standard that is.
• Open questions sent to you as questions, not drawn around. Where an assumption had to be made, the set says so, so approval covers it.
• Native files, not only a PDF.

Start with one item, paid

Not a free trial. Free work is priced like free work, and it teaches you nothing about how a supplier behaves when the job is real and the clock is running.

Send one item off a live job — a single run, a reception desk, one bar — at the normal rate. You get back a set you can hold against your own, and you have risked one item instead of a package.

What that tells you, which a polished sample set never does:

• Whether the questions that come back are the ones your own detailer would have asked.
• Whether the sections show construction your floor actually uses, or a textbook's.
• How long turnaround really is when nothing is being showcased.
• How the mark-ups come back after you redline it.

Pricing

By the item or by the package, quoted up front, after seeing the architectural set. Nobody can price millwork drafting without looking at it — the honest answer to "what does a set cost" is a range so wide it tells you nothing, which is why every competitor's pricing page ends at a contact form. So does this one. The difference is that this page says so instead of printing a number it does not mean.
