Drawing review & audit

Drawing review & technical audit support

Not every issue is obvious on first review. Drawing packages can contain missing references, conflicting details, unclear notes, schedule errors, drainage clashes, service coordination issues and buildability risks.

Krain Studio reviews architectural drawings, schedules and construction information to produce clear mark-ups, comments and action lists so the project team can resolve issues before they become site problems.

Selected work

Anonymised · representative samples

Project examples shown on this site are representative and anonymised. Project names, locations, client details, title blocks and identifying information have been changed or removed to protect confidentiality.

On the practice

A building succeeds or fails in the junctions.

Krain Studio helps turn design intent into coordinated, buildable information.

No mood boards, no renderings. Drawings that turn permission into a buildable thing without a clipboard of RFIs.

Every detail is drawn at the scale a tradesperson actually needs. 1:5 at thresholds, 1:10 elsewhere.

We work with architects who'd rather be designing, contractors who want a clean set, clients who've been quoted twice for the same job.

A drawing can look finished and still not be ready to build from. This guide runs through the buildability questions we ask before a drawing is issued — coordination, junctions, structure, drainage, levels, schedules and the assumptions that become site queries.
