Who we support

An extra pair of hands for busy project teams.

Use Lawson-Gill when work peaks, a deadline is approaching, someone is away or a defined package makes more sense to outsource.

What we can take off your desk

Defined drawing work. Clear handover.

Send the information you have and tell us what needs to come back. We will confirm the scope, software, standards, programme and review points before production begins.

01

AutoCAD drafting

Plans, elevations, sections, details and general drawing production in an agreed DWG structure.

02

Revit production

Model creation or updates, drawing views, sheets and documentation within the agreed project scope.

03

Mark-ups to drawings

Turn sketches, comments and redlined PDFs into coordinated drawing revisions.

04

PDF or paper to CAD

Redraw supplied information as editable CAD, with scale and source limitations checked first.

05

Survey to drawing

Convert supplied survey information into existing plans, elevations, sections or record drawings.

06

Planning drawing support

Production and amendment of planning drawings to the client practice’s brief and presentation standards.

07

Technical drawing support

Building Regulations and construction-detail production within an expressly agreed technical scope.

08

Package updates

Drawing amendments, sheet updates, issue information, drawing registers and revision changes.

09

Template & title-block setup

Set drawings up within supplied templates, title blocks, file naming and issue conventions.

AutoCAD support

Your layers. Your line weights. Your title blocks.

We can work from your existing DWGs and follow the drawing conventions supplied with the brief.

  • Layer and line-weight conventions
  • Annotation and dimension styles
  • Plot styles, scales and sheet setup
  • File naming and revision procedures
  • Native DWG return where agreed

Revit support

Model and documentation support for live projects.

Use us to create or update model information and produce the agreed drawings from it, without overstating the BIM scope.

  • Model creation or amendments
  • Plans, elevations and sections
  • Sheet setup and documentation
  • View and annotation updates
  • Existing-model production support

Technical & Building Regulations support

Keep the client relationship. Add production capacity.

Your practice can retain its design lead and client relationship while Lawson-Gill assists with the agreed technical drawing work behind the scenes.

The scope, review stages and responsibilities are agreed for each project. We do not guarantee statutory approval or assume Lead Designer, Principal Designer, structural engineer or other specialist duties unless they are expressly agreed and appropriate.

Discreet support

Your client. Your standards. Your brand.

White-label working is available by agreement, using your title blocks, templates, conventions and project workflow. Confidentiality and file-transfer arrangements can be confirmed before project information is shared.

Flexible ways to use us

Add capacity without adding a permanent role.

Start with the piece of work that is creating pressure. There is no need to commit to an ongoing arrangement before we have worked together.

01

One-off task

A revision, conversion, redraw or small defined drawing package.

02

Project support

Additional production capacity for a live project or delivery stage.

03

Overflow support

Extra help when the internal team reaches capacity or a deadline approaches.

04

Ongoing support

Regular outsourced production support, scoped around the work you need.

A practical Midlands advantage

Survey → Draw → Deliver

For suitable projects in the Midlands, Lawson-Gill can combine measured site information with the drawing work that follows. For digital-only production, we can support businesses remotely across the UK.

Frequently asked questions

The practical details.

If the answer depends on your templates, model, programme or project duties, we will confirm it during scoping rather than make a blanket promise.

What CAD and Revit work can you take on?

Typical work includes plans, elevations and sections, drawing revisions, drawing production from sketches or mark-ups, survey information to CAD, planning drawings, technical drawing support and updates to existing Revit models. The exact deliverables are agreed before work starts.

Can you work within our templates, title blocks and drawing standards?

Yes. Supply your templates, title blocks, layer or line-weight conventions, naming rules and revision procedure. The aim is to return work that fits your existing drawing system, rather than make you adopt ours.

Can we use Lawson-Gill for one revision or ongoing support?

Yes. Support can be scoped as a one-off task, a defined package on a live project, overflow capacity during a busy period or an ongoing working arrangement.

What information can we send?

We can review sketches, marked-up PDFs, surveys, photographs, existing DWGs and existing Revit information. We confirm whether the information is sufficient, along with the required software version and outputs, before agreeing the scope.

What files will we receive?

Editable native files and PDFs can be returned where they form part of the agreed scope. Required AutoCAD or Revit versions, naming and issue arrangements are confirmed at the start.

Is confidential or white-label support available?

Discreet and white-label working is available by agreement. Confidentiality requirements, branding, file transfer and any NDA are agreed before sensitive project information is shared.

Can you help with Building Regulations drawing production?

Yes, within an agreed technical drawing scope. The client practice can retain its own client relationship and design role. Approval is never guaranteed, and statutory or specialist design responsibilities are agreed project by project.

Do you support businesses throughout the UK?

Remote CAD and Revit production support is available to businesses across the UK. For suitable projects in the Midlands, measured survey and site capture can also be included in the agreed service.

Got drawings stacking up?

Tell us what is on your desk, what needs to come back and when you need it. We will review the brief and come back to you about scope and next steps.
