Construction CAD Documentation

From Project Information to Structured CAD Drawings

A CAD assignment can begin with hand sketches, PDFs, scanned drawings, existing CAD files or discipline-specific project information. The required drawing package can then be organised according to the defined format, layers, annotations, dimensions and project requirements.

Drawing Content

What Can a Toronto CAD Drawing Package Include?

The drawing package should be defined according to the discipline, available source information and intended documentation requirements. Not every assignment requires every drawing type.

Plans & Layouts Architectural, structural or services layouts from supplied project information.
ELEV
Elevations Exterior, interior or system elevations where included.
SECT
Sections Building, structural or component sections according to scope.
DET
Technical Details Connection, assembly or construction details from supplied information.

CAD Conversion

Convert Existing Information Into Editable CAD Drawings

Existing project records can be converted or recreated into editable CAD files where the source information is suitable for drafting.

PDF to CAD Convert defined PDF drawings into editable CAD geometry.
Sketch to CAD Develop CAD drawings from legible sketches and supplied dimensions.
Scan to CAD Recreate relevant information from supplied scanned drawings.
2D to 3D CAD Develop defined 3D geometry from suitable 2D project information.
Drawing Structure

How Can CAD Deliverables Be Organised?

Drawing requirements can be defined according to the client’s project conventions, source information and required CAD deliverables.

Drawing Format Required CAD or drawing output format.
Layer Structure CAD layers organised against an agreed convention.
Annotations Defined notes, labels and drawing references.
Dimensions Dimensions based on the supplied project information.
Sheet Organisation Drawings arranged according to the required sheet structure.
Revision Information Applicable revisions recorded within the agreed workflow.
CAD drafting documents supplied project information; it does not automatically provide engineering or regulatory approval.

Engineering calculations, design authority, permit approval, professional stamping, code certification and final construction decisions remain separate responsibilities unless a verified service is specifically included in the agreed project scope.

Toronto CAD Workflow

How Our CAD Drafting Process Works

A defined CAD drafting workflow helps project teams move from supplied drawings, sketches and discipline information to an organised drawing package. The process can include drawing setup, drafting, revision management, document review and final issue according to the agreed project scope.

Project Inputs

What Information Should Be Provided for CAD Drafting?

The starting information depends on whether the assignment involves new drafting, CAD conversion, discipline drawings, shop drawings or updating existing records. The current source information should be identified before drafting begins.

PDF Drawings Current PDF plans, sections, elevations or technical sheets.
Hand Sketches Legible sketches with sufficient dimensions and references.
Existing CAD Files Available editable files where an existing drawing package is being updated.
Architectural Information Plans, elevations, sections and applicable design references.
Structural Information Framing, foundation, reinforcement or connection information where applicable.
MEP Information HVAC, electrical, plumbing or fire-protection information where included.
Toronto CAD workflow reviewing drawings specifications and multidisciplinary project information
Current source information should be identified before drafting starts, especially when multiple disciplines or drawing revisions are involved.
5-Step CAD Workflow

From Source Information to Issued CAD Drawing Package

The exact sequence can vary by assignment, but a structured CAD project can follow these five stages.

01
Input

Review Project Information

Review the supplied drawings, sketches, existing files and discipline information relevant to the assignment.

02
Setup

Confirm Drawing Requirements

Define the required drawing format, discipline, sheet structure, annotations and applicable drafting conventions.

03
Drafting

Develop CAD Drawings

Prepare the defined plans, elevations, sections, details, layouts or 3D CAD geometry.

04
Review

Check Drawing Package

Review the drawings against the source information, scope, annotations, dimensions and drawing structure.

05
Issue

Prepare Agreed Deliverables

Organise the reviewed drawing package in the agreed file and reporting structure for issue.

Drawing Setup

Define the CAD Drawing Structure Before Drafting

Drawing conventions should be established according to the project requirements and available reference information so the resulting drawing package uses a consistent structure.

Scale & Units Use the defined project scale, units and drawing basis.
Layer Convention Organise drawing layers according to the agreed CAD structure.
Annotations Apply applicable notes, labels, dimensions and references.
Sheet Structure Arrange drawing sheets and titles according to the required package.
Multidiscipline Documentation

Architectural, Structural & MEP Drawing Coordination

Where multiple disciplines form part of the assignment, relevant drawing information can be reviewed together to identify documentation interfaces and maintain consistent references across the defined CAD package.

Architectural References Plans, elevations, sections and applicable architectural information.
Structural References Framing, foundation and related structural drawing information.
MEP References HVAC, electrical, plumbing and applicable services information.
Drawing Interfaces Review relevant interfaces between the disciplines included in the drawing scope.
Version & Revision Control

Keep CAD Drawing Updates Traceable

When drawings change, the drafting workflow should clearly distinguish the current project information from superseded references and record applicable drawing revisions.

01
Confirm Current Files Identify the source files that form the basis of the current drafting update.
02
Review Changed Information Review the supplied project changes relevant to the drawing package.
03
Update Applicable Drawings Apply confirmed revisions to the relevant CAD drawings within scope.
04
Record Revision Status Organise the drawing issue so the applicable revision can be identified.
CAD QA/QC

What Is Reviewed Before a CAD Package Is Issued?

The review should focus on the documentation that forms part of the agreed drafting assignment, rather than implying engineering approval or regulatory certification.

Source Information Check drawing content against the supplied project information.
Scope Coverage Confirm the required drawings and disciplines are represented.
Dimensions Review applicable dimensions against the source information.
Annotations Review notes, labels and drawing references for consistency.
Drawing Structure Check sheets, layers and applicable drawing organisation.
Revision Status Confirm the applicable drawing revision before issue.
Final Drawing Package

Prepare the Agreed CAD Deliverables

After the drafting and document review stages, the required files can be organised according to the agreed delivery structure for the project.

Editable CAD Files Where editable CAD files form part of the agreed deliverables.
Drawing Sheets Organised drawing sheets according to the defined package.
Revision Information Applicable revision status identified within the drawing issue.
Project-Specific Format Files arranged according to the agreed delivery requirements.
Unclear or conflicting source information should be clarified rather than silently assumed.

If dimensions, project references, discipline information or drawing revisions are incomplete or inconsistent, the relevant item should be identified for clarification before it is treated as confirmed project information in the CAD package.
