Services – Cy Owens Architectural Cad Drafter, Steel Detailer and Designer

Cy Owens Architectural Cad Drafter, steel detailer and designer, provides dependable drafting and detailing services for architects, contractors, fabricators, and manufacturers. Because every project has unique needs, I adjust my workflow to match your standards and timeline. Additionally, I keep communication clear and steady from start to finish so your team always knows what is happening.

Below, you will find a detailed list of the services I offer and how they support your project’s success.

Architectural CAD Drafting Services

I offer complete CAD drafting services for residential, commercial, and specialty projects. Because clear drawings help everyone understand the design, I focus on simple layouts and clean details that work well both in the office and on the job site. Additionally, I make sure each sheet flows in a logical order.

Services Architectural Cad Drafter include:

Site plans
Floor plans
Elevations
Roof plans
Sections
Details and enlarged views
Electrical layouts and notes

First, I review your sketches, notes, and redlines. Then I convert them into accurate Architectural CAD drawings that follow your layers, standards, and preferences. Furthermore, I label plans clearly so every crew member can find key information quickly.

Because I have a construction background, I understand how drawings get used in real conditions. Therefore, I avoid clutter, maintain consistent line weights, and use straightforward language. As a result, your field teams can work faster and with fewer questions.

Structural Steel Detailing

Services Architectural Cad Drafter, steel detailer and designer, also provides precise structural steel detailing for fabricators, contractors, and engineers. Because steel work must fit correctly the first time, I focus on accuracy and clarity throughout the entire process.

Steel detailing services include:

Beam and column layout
Connection details
Stair and railing drawings
Base plate and anchor details
Erection plans and framing plans

I begin with your structural drawings and engineer notes. Then I create detailed shop drawings that show exactly how each part fits together. Additionally, I double-check hole locations, weld symbols, and dimensions to help avoid costly issues later.

Because I have years of steel detailing experience, I know how important coordination is. Therefore, if I see unclear areas or conflicts, I alert you right away and offer solutions. This proactive approach helps reduce RFIs and keeps deadlines on track.

Architectural Terra Cotta and Historic Detailing

I also specialize in architectural terra cotta detailing and historic restoration. Because older buildings often include complex, one-of-a-kind profiles, these projects require careful attention and strong design awareness.

Terra cotta and historic detailing services include:

Unit layout drawings
Piece profiles and section details
Numbering and location diagrams
Joint and anchor details
Restoration and replacement details

First, I study field measurements, reference photos, and existing records. Then I draft each unit with the correct shape, proportion, and location. Additionally, I note anchor systems and joints so installers know exactly how each piece fits.

Because many restoration projects involve strict requirements, I make sure the drawings support both fabrication and review stages. As a result, your restoration work moves forward with confidence and accuracy.

Prototypes and Production Drawings

Cy Owens Cad Drafter, steel detailer and designer, also supports manufacturers and custom shops. Because ideas must turn into practical parts, I help transform early concepts into buildable, repeatable drawings.

Prototype and production drawing services include:

Prototype layouts
Part and assembly drawings
Exploded views
Callouts and material lists
Revision updates
Production-ready documentation

I begin by reviewing your sketches, ideas, or sample parts. Then I develop CAD drawings that show critical measurements and fabrication details. Additionally, I adjust the drawings based on shop feedback so the final documents match how your team actually builds.

Because accuracy matters in production, I focus on creating drawings that reduce mistakes and improve consistency. As a result, your prototype can evolve smoothly into full production.

Services for contractors and fabricators include:

Shop and fabrication drawings
As-built drawings
Clarified details for complex areas
Stair and railing packages
Small structural and architectural packages

First, I review the existing drawings and your field notes. Then I create clean, accurate sheets that crews can rely on. Additionally, I respond quickly to markups and changes so you can keep your job moving.

Because of my construction background, I know how to highlight the information the field needs most. As a result, your team spends less time guessing and more time building.
