How it Works

From enquiry to approved drawings

Understanding the way YOU work

We know that every carpentry and joinery company has their way of constructing cabinets, shelving, wardrobes etc. We work within your specifications.

For example, the base unit of a wardrobe always has a 50mm bottom and 18mm top.

When we start working together, the first thing our drawing team does is review your specs!  

1. Initial Enquiry

You send over:

  • Sketches, photos, or reference images
  • Basic dimensions
  • Brief description of the job

Rough information is fine — we’ll clarify anything if needed.

2. Review & Quote

We review your job and:

  • Confirm scope and complexity
  • Provide a fixed price and turnaround time

No hourly rates. No surprises.

3. Confirm your specs

If this is the first time we’ve worked with you, we’ll ask you for your construction specs.

4. Project Confirmation

Once approved:

  • We confirm key assumptions (materials, sizes, construction approach)
  • Agree timeline
  • Begin drafting

5. Initial Drawings Produced

You receive:

  • Clear, fully dimensioned drawings
  • Layouts, elevations, and key details
  • Client-friendly views or 3D visuals

Drawings are created to be practical and buildable — not overcomplicated.

6. Review & Revisions

You check the drawings and:

  • Request any changes
  • Confirm dimensions and details

Includes:

  • 1–2 revision rounds (depending on package)

Getting things right for you and your client.

7. Final Drawings Issued

Once approved, you receive:

  • Final workshop-ready drawings (PDF)
  • Clean, print-ready format

8. Ready to Build

You now have:

  • Clear, accurate drawings
  • Confidence in measurements and layout
  • A solid basis to build from or present to your client

Built on paper before it’s built on site.

Be sure to read our Terms & Conditions for more information about how we operate.

On-going Monthly Support

For regular workloads, we offer monthly drawing support at a fixed cost.

This works well if you want the benefit of an in-house drafter without the overhead costs.

Monthly support includes:

  • Priority turnaround
  • Predictable monthly costs
