3D Drawings -  Recent Quote regarding 3d  "For those of us without the visualization skills of an architect who can easily glean proportions and a sense of spatial relationships from mere 2D floorplans and elevations, this is a godsend."

Drawings – It is important when comparing quotes to understand the types of drawings and what is included in the quote;  the following should be helpful;

Types of Drawing
Planning - minimum required for a planning application, no construction detail or sections.
Construction - Roof & Site Plan, floor plans, sections with construction detailing sufficient for a Builders Notice to building control but leaving choice of materials to the builder.
Full Plans - as construction but with full specification of all elements subject to Building Regulations and then checked by Building Control before work starts.

Our Drawings are Planning & Construction drawings as a minimum.
