Architectural drafters play a key role in every stage of the design process. From sketching out preliminary concepts, to preparing finalized construction documents, they help bring building projects to life.

Working under the supervision of an architect or engineer—or in some cases, consulting directly with clients—architectural technicians produce a number of documents, each with a distinct purpose and goal.

Architectural drafters participate in every stage of the design and construction process. They work closely with architects, engineers and builders to map out schematics and blueprints—and follow projects throughout construction, ensuring they stay true to the original concept.
