Brief & Site Intake
We review your field measurements, sketches, or existing PDFs and confirm scope, code jurisdiction, and the exact deliverable before a single line is drawn.
CAD & Engineering Drafting · Honolulu, HI
Elmwood Drafting
Drawings precise enough to build from — permit-ready construction sets, structural details, and as-built CAD, drawn for contractors and small firms who expect the sheet to be right the first time.
01 — The Process
From Site Notes To A Set The City Will Stamp
Every commission moves through the same four stations. You always know where your drawings are, and the sheet that reaches the plan-check counter is the one we intended.
02
Drafting In CAD
Plans, sections, and details built to scale in layered AutoCAD — dimensioned, annotated, and organized so anyone on the crew can read them without a phone call.
03
Redline & Review
You mark up the draft; we return two included revision rounds. We cross-check callouts, schedules, and title-block details against your notes.
04
Permit-Ready Delivery
Final sheets issued as print-ready PDF plus native DWG. Formatted for Honolulu plan check, with layers and standards left tidy for the next scope.

02 — The Standard
“A drawing earns its keep the day a framer reads it once and reaches for the saw. Everything we draft is measured against that single moment.”
- 01Native DWG, alwaysYou keep editable files, not just flattened prints — your work stays yours.
- 02Layer disciplineConsistent standards so the next scope opens clean, not a tangle of overrides.
- 03Honolulu plan checkTitle blocks and notes formatted for how sets are reviewed locally.
- 04One drafter, one fileYour set is drawn and checked by the same hand from intake to issue.
03 — The Practice
Small Studio Habits That Show On The Sheet
Legible By Design
Dimensions, callouts, and schedules arranged so the trade reading them never has to guess.
Dates We Keep
A first draft lands within six business days on single-scope work — the schedule is set at intake, not improvised.
Quiet Coordination
We work alongside your engineer and inspector so redlines are absorbed, not argued.
Priced Per Project
You agree the number before we draw a line — no hourly meter, no surprise on the final invoice.
04 — Begin
Send Us The Scope. We'll Send Back A Number.
Share what you're building — a renovation, a new detail set, or a stack of old prints to convert — and you'll have a fixed per-project quote, not an estimate that drifts.
