Structural drafting: common questions

How is structural drafting priced?

By sheet count, as a fixed quote agreed before work starts.

What do you need from the engineer?

Their design in any form they work in: hand sketches, redlines on a previous set, or marked-up plans. The sheets are drawn from it and returned for their review.

Can you match our office standards?

Yes. Send your layer standards, details library and title block, and the sheets come back drawn to them.
