DWG And Revit Documentation

How do our architectural CAD drafting services turn project inputs into accurate drawing sets?

Our architect-led CAD team works with AutoCAD, Revit, PDF markups, scanned drawings, hand sketches, survey files, point cloud references, DWG files, DXF files and office templates to prepare clean, editable and well-structured architectural drawing outputs.

IWe follow your agreed CAD layers, line weights, title blocks, drawing scales, annotation style, plot settings, revision system, naming conventions and project tolerances. Where Revit-based documentation is required, we can work with view templates, sheet sets, schedules, model views and LOD requirements for drawing extraction and coordination.

Deliverables include DWG files, DXF files, PDF drawing packs, floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans, block plans, roof plans, working drawings, as-built drawings, planning drawings, paper-to-CAD conversions, scan-to-CAD outputs and Revit documentation sheets. Where required by the brief, our drawings can support UK Building Regulations drawing review, local planning authority requirements, NBS-style documentation, BS 8541-related BIM library workflows and ISO 19650-aligned information management when BIM documentation is part of the project.

Elevations

Detailed external and internal elevations that clearly depict fenestration, material demarcation, and vertical dimensions, ready for planning authority submissions.

Sections

Sectional drawings showing the internal composition of a building, structural intersections, floor-to-floor heights, and construction assemblies, produced to your specified scales and layering standards.

Site & Block Plans

Contextual drawings that illustrate the development site, boundary conditions, access points, and existing features. Proposed works are prepared to meet local authority planning requirements.

Roof Plans

Clearly annotated roof plans depicting slopes, ridges, valleys, drainage flows, rooflights, and materials for accurate tendering and construction.

Architectural Drafting Advantage

Why do architectural firms choose Tesla CAD UK for CAD drafting support?

Outsourcing your CAD drafting to Tesla CAD UK means gaining a highly skilled extended team that integrates seamlessly with your firm.

Here is what sets us apart:

All our drawings conform to UK Standards, including BS 8541 (Libraries for BIM), NBS conventions, and applicable Building Regulations. We understand the requirements of local planning authorities and produce documentation that supports smooth approval processes.

Our architects and CAD technicians hold degree qualifications from leading engineering and architecture institutions. Internal quality checks are applied to every drawing set before delivery, ensuring that what you receive is precise and presentation-ready.

Speed matters on live projects. Our structured workflows and a large, dedicated team allow us to deliver complex drawing packages in shorter timeframes than in-house teams, without compromising quality or accuracy.

Tesla CAD is a UK-registered company with a large, dedicated drafting center in India. This allows us to provide our clients with the legal assurance and professional standards of a UK firm, while offering the cost efficiency of a world-class Indian engineering team.

Our drawings comply fully with British Standards and are delivered at rates typically 40-60% below equivalent UK costs, without any reduction in quality or accuracy. Whether you need one drafter for a month or a dedicated team for a year-long program, we scale precisely to your workload.

We work natively in AutoCAD and Revit. However, our team is also proficient in MicroStation, ArchiCAD, and other platforms. We can match your existing software.

We maintain open, consistent communication channels throughout every project. Regular progress updates, reviews and a dedicated point of contact ensure that you always know where your project stands.
