Technical Drafting & Design Support for UAE Construction Companies

Architectural Documentation

Architectural documentation here means the measured AutoCAD work a site team can coordinate from: plans, elevations, sections, details and, when you ask for them, as-built sheets that record what was built. The set follows the title block and the layer names you already use if you send a sample. It is the package a contractor submits onward to the project consultant, not a replacement for that consultant and not a building permit. Permit-oriented sheets are prepared only from the checklist the project actually uses, because that checklist is not the same in every emirate.

• Plans, elevations, sections and the details the scope names.
• As-built records for handover or a later alteration, from the survey or redlines you send.
• Revision clouds and a revision table, so the site does not build from a mixed set.
• English notes, with Arabic on request.

Marble & Stone Documentation

Stone is usually a specialist package inside the contractor’s submission. The shop drawings name each piece, joint, thickness, edge and cut-out. Cutting lists and slab layouts follow when the yard has to nest the vein, and stone quantities are added when the quotation includes them. A floor, a stair, a vanity and a bookmatched wall each need their own information. The marble shop drawings page describes those deliverables in full. On this page the point is simpler: the contractor can send the interior elevations and ask for the stone set without hiring a separate drafter for that trade.

Fit-Out & Interior Documentation

Fit-out and interior documentation covers the joinery, ceiling, partition and interior-elevation sheets that sit beside the architectural and stone sets. Kitchens and wardrobes are drawn so the carcass, the worktop thickness and the service points agree. Ceiling sheets follow the reflected plan you send and flag a clash instead of moving a diffuser. The fit-out shop drawings page is the longer description of that scope. A contractor who has both joinery and stone on one villa can ask for both in the same enquiry. They are still issued as separate packages so each workshop prices its own work.

Estimation & Visualization

Estimation is the bill, the take-off or the material schedule measured from those drawings. Each line can name the sheet it came from, and assumptions such as joint width or cutting waste sit in the header. Visualization is the still image a client or a consultant looks at before they approve a material. A render is not a substitute for the dimensions. When both are in the quotation, the picture is described against the same design as the sheets, and an update after a comment round is its own line if the design actually changes. There is no published price per image and no published rate per page of a bill.

Who We Support

The enquiry can come from a main contractor’s technical office, a fit-out contractor, a specialist subcontractor, or a site engineer who has been asked to get a trade package drawn. D3DDD does not publish a list of clients, and this page does not imply a framework agreement with any developer or contractor. Support means the drawings for the scope you send: one trade, one villa, or a package that spans architecture, stone and joinery. If you already have an in-house drafter, the studio can take the overflow trade, such as the stone or the joinery, and leave the rest of the set with your team.

Project Workflow

The workflow is the same five steps whether the site is in Dubai or in another emirate, because the files move by email. A comment from the consultant is not a new mystery process. It is step four, and the delivery of that revision is agreed when the comments are in hand.

1. Send the project drawings and the scope.
2. We review them and confirm the quotation in writing.
3. The first issue is drafted as DWG and PDF.
4. You and your consultant comment.
5. The approved issue is delivered for fabrication or for the next submission.

Missing dimensions pause only the sheets they affect. A large change of scope, such as adding a floor that was not in the quotation, is priced before it is drawn. The portfolio shows the kind of contractor-facing stone sheets already issued for Dubai villas, including a ground-floor flooring layout and the external pool and majlis details. They are examples of drawing habit, not a client roster.
