Construction Documentation Services

Professional Construction Documentation Services

Construction documentation (CD) services transform design development models into comprehensive, coordinated construction drawings ready for permitting, bidding, and construction. Our architectural documentation specialists create complete CD sets including floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections, wall sections, details, door/window schedules, finish schedules, and specifications. We produce permit-ready documents that comply with building codes, accessibility standards, and local jurisdiction requirements while maintaining coordination with structural and MEP disciplines.

What are Construction Documents?

Construction documents are the detailed drawings and specifications that contractors use to build projects. Unlike design development documents that communicate design intent, construction documents provide precise dimensions, materials, assembly methods, and performance requirements necessary for accurate bidding and construction. CD sets include architectural plans at appropriate scales, building sections showing vertical relationships, exterior elevations, enlarged plans for complex areas, wall sections and details, door/window/finish schedules, and written specifications organized by CSI MasterFormat divisions.

Our CD Services Include

• Complete architectural floor plans with dimensions and annotations
• Reflected ceiling plans with grid layouts and fixture locations
• Building elevations showing exterior materials and fenestration
• Building sections illustrating floor-to-floor heights and assemblies
• Wall sections and construction details at enlarged scales
• Door, window, finish, and room schedules
• Code compliance analysis and accessibility documentation
• Coordination with structural, MEP, and civil drawings
• Specifications and technical product information
• Permit submittal packages and agency coordination support

Benefits of Professional CD Services

Well-coordinated construction documents reduce RFIs by 40-60%, minimize change orders by 30-50%, and accelerate permit approvals by 25-40% compared to poorly documented projects. Complete, accurate CDs enable contractors to provide competitive bids, reduce construction delays, and deliver projects on schedule and budget. Our BIM-based documentation ensures consistency between drawings, automatic schedule updates, and seamless coordination across disciplines.

Standards & Compliance

We prepare construction documents following AIA standards, National CAD Standards (NCS), and local jurisdiction requirements. Our documents comply with International Building Code (IBC), ADA accessibility guidelines, energy codes, and project-specific standards. All deliverables are provided in multiple formats including native Revit files, PDF construction sets, and DWG exports for coordination.
