shop drawings
direct
import
Create shop drawings directly from architectural plans.
Whenever possible, I take advantage of the ability to import computer-drawn architectural documents. Edit and move geometry, dimensions, and annotation without any unnecessary replication of the designer's work.
Tired of leafing back and forth through enormous architectural sheet sets? Gather relevant elevations, sections, and plan views together on the same page without redrawing a thing.

it up
I can create neat, professional-looking shop drawings from a marked-up set of plans, or even a photo.
Quickly jot down any relevant notes, edits, dimensions, or job site measurements. I'll work out the rest, including as much or as little detail as you need.
The finished product is a document that will impress your clients and provide a clear, well-organized guide for you and your employees.

Sketches
Turn your sketch into a legible, comprehensive, editable scale drawing.
Time at your desk drawing is time lost to your shop floor, job sites, and client communication. Jot the essentials down on paper and leave the rest to me. My familiarity with the trade and experience as a maker saves you from having to spell out every last detail.
Plus once your design is drawn digitally, we can make fresh edits and redline revisions without having to redraw a thing.
ABOUT
Shop drawings shepherd a designer's vision into the real world. A good shop drawing accomplishes at least two jobs: it demonstrates that the maker has understood the designer's intentions, and it serves as a practical fabrication guide.
I take pride in making good shop drawings. Let me set your project up for success and give you more time to do the things only you can do: running your shop floor, visiting job sites, working on estimates, and communicating with your clients and employees.
I bring 15 years of hands-on woodworking and carpentry experience to my drawing practice, so you can trust me to see the subtle details and quirks of each project with a maker's eye. When you work with me, your shop drawings are coming from someone who has actually used shop drawings.
Let me do the legwork of scaling and editing architectural plans, verifying rough openings against appliance specs, and gathering design information scattered throughout architectural sheet sets into a single user-friendly shop drawing. I'll also carefully do the math to make sure symmetries and important centerlines are preserved as dimensions change to reflect jobsite measurements.
I work at a competitive hourly rate with quick turnaround, responsive communication, and a customer-first attitude. If you find you don't like working with me, or aren't happy with your drawings for any reason, I'll make it right or refund my fee.
