Find the right person for the work.
What good looks like
Agree which drawing types, sheet sizes and standards apply. Useful measures include drawings that match your template and layer standards, revisions tracked in the register and markups cleared within the review rounds you set.
Define who checks and signs off each issue. Drawings are checked and signed off by your licensed designer or engineer before they go to a client, council or builder.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Discuss experience with your drawing types, such as residential, commercial or civil, and your software versions and standards. Ask the candidate to explain how they handle conflicting markups, manage revisions and check a drawing set before sending it for review.
Agree a short drawing exercise with our team, using sample project files or fictional information, and ask for a walkthrough of past work. Confirm the candidate's level of responsibility: a drafter prepares drawings, and your licensed designer or engineer remains responsible for checking and signing them off. Share only the project files the role needs, and make sure issued drawings follow your review and sign-off process.
