Structures Have sketches, markups, or an idea that needs to become buildable drawings? Our drafting and design team turns concepts into clear, sealed plans across [every engineering service](https://bbdengineering.com/services/), so your project can move to permitting and construction. [Start a work request](https://bbdengineering.com/work-request/) Which engineer do I need? (image: A BBD engineer reviewing and sealing drawings) 01 ## What’s included We draft across every engineering service and back it with engineering when you need it: - Structural drafting - Civil drafting - Architectural drafting - Electrical drafting - Mechanical drafting - Sketch and markup to CAD conversion - Sealed, buildable drawings - Structural drafting - Civil drafting - Architectural drafting - Electrical drafting - Mechanical drafting - Sketch to sealed CAD 02 ## Why BBD Engineering Because our drafters sit alongside licensed engineers, your drawings are not just neat, they are technically sound and ready to seal. When a drawing needs engineering behind it, the right engineer is already in the building, from structural to civil. ### Licensed Professional Engineers Every set of drawings is prepared and sealed by a licensed PE and designed to the codes that apply to your project. ### One Coordinated Team When your project crosses engineering services, the same team handles all of it, so nothing falls through the gaps. ### Clear Quotes and Timelines We scope and quote each project up front, with honest timelines and responsive communication throughout. ### Licensed in the Lower 48 States Our professional engineers are licensed in all the lower 48 states and are familiar with each state's unique rules and regulations.

Our engineers confirm the scope with you before anything is quoted. 03 ## Frequently asked questions ### What can you draft? We provide structural, civil, architectural, [electrical](https://bbdengineering.com/services/electrical-engineering/), and [mechanical](https://bbdengineering.com/services/mechanical-engineering/) drafting, turning sketches and concepts into buildable drawings. ### Can you turn my sketches into sealed drawings? Yes. We convert sketches and markups into CAD, and our licensed engineers can seal the drawings when your project requires it. ### My engineer already did the design, can you still help? Yes. If you have an engineer on site who has done the design, our drafting team prepares the new drawings based on that design and, if needed, reviews and seals the final drawing. We also revise existing plans and drawings. ### Do I need engineering with my drafting? It depends on your project and local requirements. Because our drafters and engineers work together, we can add engineering whenever it is needed. ### How are final documents delivered? If you’re local, you can pick up your documents at your convenience. If not, we send them to you by courier, normally using next-day delivery. ### Related engineering services Projects that need drafting & design often also need [structural engineering](https://bbdengineering.com/services/structural-engineering/), [geotechnical engineering](https://bbdengineering.com/services/geotechnical-engineering/) and [agricultural engineering](https://bbdengineering.com/services/agricultural-engineering/). Because every engineering service sits with one team, the same engineers coordinate all of it, and you can send everything at once with an [engineering services work request](https://bbdengineering.com/work-request/). ## Planning a project that needs drafting & design?
