01
Initial Consultation
We review the project scope, client goals, property details, existing documents, photos, measurements, deadlines, and permit requirements.
Our Engineering Drafting Process
Smart Choice Engineering follows a structured workflow for professional drafting, engineering coordination, rendering, BIM modeling, permit packages, construction documents, and project support.
A Clear Process From Intake to Final Drawings
Our workflow is designed to reduce confusion, improve project coordination, and create professional documents that support owners, contractors, engineers, designers, and permitting requirements.
Organized Intake
We begin by collecting the correct project information, measurements, documents, photos, and expectations before drafting begins.
Professional Drafting
Our team develops organized CAD drawings, plan sheets, details, and documentation based on the approved project scope.
Final Coordination
Drawings are reviewed, coordinated, and prepared for project delivery, permit submittal, contractor use, or client approval.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Each step helps move the project from idea, field information, or existing documentation into a professional drawing package.
02
Document Collection
The client provides surveys, sketches, existing plans, property records, contractor notes, field photos, and required project information.
03
Field Measurements Review
Measurements, dimensions, site conditions, structural limits, openings, utilities, and construction constraints are reviewed before drafting begins.
04
Drafting & Plan Development
Our team prepares professional CAD drawings, layouts, elevations, sections, details, notes, and construction documentation.
05
Engineering Coordination
Structural, architectural, MEP, civil, rendering, BIM, and permit requirements are coordinated based on the project scope.
06
Quality Control Review
Plans are reviewed for clarity, consistency, dimensions, notes, code coordination, sheet organization, and submittal readiness.
07
Permit Package Preparation
Final drawings and supporting documents are organized into a professional package for owner, contractor, or building department use.
08
Revisions & Support
If comments, changes, or corrections are requested, we assist with plan revisions and project coordination support.
