Technical CAD production, drawing review & construction support.

Freelance architectural technology — drawings, audits, site-issue resolution.

Krain Studio provides freelance architectural technology, technical CAD production and drawing review support for architectural practices, developers, contractors and private clients.

The focus is practical technical support: producing clear drawings, reviewing architectural information, identifying coordination gaps and helping project teams resolve specific construction or site-related issues before they become costly problems.

What we do

We can be brought in to produce technical drawings, construction details and working drawing information, or to review existing architectural drawings where a project team needs greater confidence in the information being used.

Service categories

Technical CAD production
AutoCAD 2D working drawings, general arrangements, construction information and drawing updates.
Construction details
1:5 and 1:10 details for junctions, thresholds, eaves, openings, walls, floors and site-specific conditions.
Stage 4/5 documentation
Support with technical design, construction information, drawing packages and coordinated issue sets.
Building Control drawing support
Drawing support for Building Regulations, warranty and technical package requirements. This does not replace the architect, engineer, warranty provider or Building Control body.
Drawing audits & buildability reviews
Checks for missing information, conflicting references, unclear details, schedule issues and coordination gaps.
Site and query support
Technical mark-ups, clarification notes, RFI support and action lists to help teams understand what needs resolving.

Drawing review & technical audit support

Not every issue is obvious on first review. Drawing packages can contain missing references, conflicting details, unclear specification notes, coordination gaps or buildability risks that only become visible when someone experienced checks the information properly.

Krain Studio can review architectural drawings, schedules, specifications and construction details to help identify:

The output can be a clear set of mark-ups, comments and action points that help the project team understand the risk and move forward with better information.

Construction detail & site issue support

We can also assist with specific technical details or site-related construction issues where drawings need interpretation, clarification or further technical input.

This may include reviewing a junction, checking how a detail is intended to work, identifying where information is missing, or helping the client or contractor understand what needs to be clarified by the design team.

The aim is not to replace the architect, engineer or Building Control body. The aim is to provide experienced technical support so that the right questions are asked early and the project team has clearer information to work from.

Confidential project work

Much of our work is carried out on live architectural and construction projects where client confidentiality, drawing copyright and project information must be protected.

For that reason, we do not publish identifiable client drawings, project locations, title blocks or original design material. Any examples shown are anonymised, recreated or representative samples used to demonstrate the type of technical work carried out.

Why bring us in?

With over 20 years’ experience across residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, we understand how drawings are used by architects, developers, contractors, consultants and site teams.

We help teams produce clearer information, find weak points earlier and reduce uncertainty before or during construction.

The goal is simple: better drawings, clearer coordination and greater confidence in the information being used.
