Construction Documentation Services We Provide
Material Specifications Documentation
Material Specifications Documentation provides detailed records of the types, grades, and standards of materials to be used in construction projects. This ensures compliance with project requirements, industry standards, and regulatory guidelines, facilitating accurate procurement, quality control, and efficient project execution.
Site Inspection Reports
Site Inspection Reports provide detailed documentation of on-site assessments, noting the progress, quality, and compliance of construction activities with established standards and regulations. These reports include visual evidence, such as photographs and videos, as well as written evaluations on materials, workmanship, safety protocols, and any deviations from the project plan. They serve as an essential tool for project stakeholders to ensure transparency, accountability, and timely identification of potential issues.
As-built Drawings
As-built Drawings provide a detailed record of the construction process, capturing all modifications and deviations from the original blueprints. These drawings accurately reflect the final specifications, dimensions, and locations of all components and systems, serving as a critical reference for future maintenance, renovations, and inspections.
Field Verification Records
Field Verification Records involves the comprehensive documentation of on-site conditions, confirming that construction progress aligns with design specifications and verifying any deviations. This sub-service ensures that all observed features and modifications are accurately recorded, providing essential data for project validation and future reference.
Permit Application Documentation
Permit Application Documentation involves the preparation and organization of all necessary documents required to obtain permits for construction projects. This service ensures that all forms, plans, and supplementary materials comply with regulatory standards and are submitted accurately and timely to expedite the approval process.
Shop Drawings
Shop Drawings provide detailed and precise illustrations depicting the fabrication, assembly, and installation processes for various components within a construction project. These drawings serve as a critical reference for contractors, manufacturers, and engineers, ensuring all specifications are meticulously followed to guarantee accuracy, compliance, and seamless integration with the overall design.
About Construction Documentation
Construction Documents (CDs) are a crucial set of drawings and specifications that provide detailed instructions for the construction of a building or structure. They are created by architects and engineers and serve as a contract between the design team and the contractors. CDs include architectural drawings, structural plans, mechanical and electrical layouts, and other essential details. Architectural drawings in CDs typically include floor plans, elevations, sections, and details, showing the layout and design of the building. Structural plans detail the framework of the building, including beams, columns, and foundations. Mechanical drawings outline the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, while electrical layouts show the location of outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures. In addition to drawings, CDs contain specifications, which are written descriptions of materials, finishes, and construction methods. Specifications ensure that everyone involved in the project understands the quality and performance standards required for each component of the building. Construction Documents play a critical role in the construction process, as they serve as a roadmap for contractors, guiding them in the implementation of the design. They are also used for obtaining building permits and are crucial for ensuring that the final structure meets the design intent and complies with building codes and regulations.

Tutors & Services Philosophy
Don't Learn Alone
Professionals these days are sitting alone and staring at their computers. They spend years searching online for tools that will increase their workplace efficiency—digging through forums and watching lengthy videos for the right CAD or visualization tip.
Sometimes they just have one small question that would take a person two minutes to answer, but customer support lines are a thing of the past. Big companies will direct you to an FAQ that will hardly begin to answer your question.
Bring Back the Human Connection
We strive to bring human connection back to the work environment. Our tutors work directly with you to solve your problems, similar to the way an apprentice works hand-in-hand with a skilled professional.
Screen-share technologies like Zoom have allowed us to work together in real time. We can see each others' screens and cursors, switch presenters to share information easily, and even turn on webcams for a more human interaction. Learn efficiently across workflows like architectural rendering, interiors, mechanical modeling, and construction documentation.
Tutors, Services, or Both
Sometimes our clients want to learn a program from beginning to end; sometimes they completely hand over the services to us; and other times, they want something in between.
Some clients want to be able to use the program on a basic level and let us do the hard stuff. Others want to co-work with us, supervising our work to ensure their artistic vision is realized. Along the way, they learn the tools—whether that’s SketchUp, Blender, Fusion 360, Revit, or AutoCAD.
By the end of the process, some clients are able to wean themselves completely off of our services and are empowered to do the work themselves. If they get stuck or behind on a deadline, they use us as a lifeline. They can call anytime—even if it’s just a 10-minute question—we are here to help.
