WHAT ARE CONSTRUCTION & WORKING DRAWINGS?
Working drawings are also known as construction drawings and are concisely detailed drawings including all elements of the construction process with more unknown variables accounted for, making them the only option for a predictable build, gaining tender and forming sound contracts. They mitigate a lot of the risk, potential cost sprawl, project delay and more.
Working Drawings go beyond basic compliance to include detailed information necessary for every aspect of your construction project. These comprehensive plans provide builders with a clear roadmap for completing the build.
WHO ARE THEY FOR?
Working Drawings are ideal for more complex higher value projects where precision is key and builders/contractors cannot design onsite. They ensure accuracy and minimise the risk of errors, making them indispensable for larger builds and those involving multiple trades.
They Include:
- All relevant construction method details
- Finishing details/schedules
- Joinery detailing
- Plumbing layouts
- Electrical layouts
- Bathroom/Kitchen fixtures and fitting
- Accurate measurements
- Abutment and joints
- Window/Door schedule
- Structural design collation
- Schedules of work
- Cost estimation details
- Tender package
THE BENEFITS OF WORKING DRAWINGS
ACCURATE COSTING
With all the relevant details and specifications, you can obtain precise builder costs and schedule of works.
STREAMLINED CONSTRUCTION
Builders and tradespeople can plan effectively, reducing the risk of errors and delays.
PRACTICALITY AND SAFETY
These designs consider every aspect of the build, balancing aesthetics with functionality and safety.
WRITTEN CONTRACTS
The more detail about the project you capture and agree against the quotation the safer you are from variation costs.
EXPERTLY CRAFTED DESIGNS
So, how does it all work? Generally, it all starts with a survey. That could be arranging for a member of the team to visit your property and carry out a full property survey, or for even easier results, we can also work with what we call a self survey.
Simply draft a quick sketch of the floorplan and your idea added onto it and the dimensions of the rooms, and we’ll take care of the rest.
We’ll sketch out our ideas, arrange a chat to run through everything with you in detail, and then get to work on producing your highly detailed architectural drawings ready for the next stage in the process (where we can help with planning and building control approvals too!)
WORKING & CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS ONLINE
Working Drawings are highly recommended for residential and larger development works with greater costs and risks as a necessity to avoid costly mistakes.
HOW THEY COMPLIMENT BUILDING REGULATIONS
Building Regulation Compliant Drawings form the foundation for Working Drawings. Without compliance, Working Drawings cannot be created. Think of Building Regulation Drawings as the legal baseline, while Working Drawings are the comprehensive blueprint for bringing your vision to life.
WHAT YOU NEED
Working drawings do require all relevant information to be provided prior to producing, such as planning permission, planning conditions, building control full plans approve, accurate site survey/measurements, consultants data such as structural engineer, drainage details, client finish choices etc.
NEXT STEPS
Not all projects require all information, working drawing can be quite a bespoke technical design package, so get in touch to help mould the level of detailed drawing support you want.

What a superb service. Cannot fault the process from start to finish.So easy to correspond with, good prices and super quick responses for several revisions my solicitor needed. Many thanks to Donna for your patience and making the experience so easy. If I ever need anything in future, I will certainly be back. A rare find these days! Thankyou
The company is exceptional. I found them online and the drawings were good and on-time. The big difference is the work dealing with planning officers which Donna handled extremely well. Great communication. I would not hesitate to use them again.
I've just received an architectural drawing to attach to our planning permission. Super professional and very quick. Thank you to all who helped.
So impressed. If I'm honest I was sceptical to start with that something could be this good value and still be good quality & quick but the process has been smooth, detailed and not stressful. Well done to Donna and the team - a really innovative service and one I will definitely use again.
This company is excellent. From Graham coming out to do the survey and understanding my requirements then Donna keeping me notified by email and telephone, to the final planning application approval. Nothing was too much trouble and I would strongly recommend them and will certainly pass their name on to anyone needing this type of service. Thank you Online Drawings. Joan and Jessica Shaw.
What a fantastic company. Both Donna and Graham have been so supportive and professional thought out our house conversion project. I wholeheartedly recommend this company. I will use again. Thank you both.
Donna is absolutely amazing! We had been struggling for months to get a response from our councils buildings control department, when Donna became involved she tried multiple different avenues including having to make formal complaints and finally sorted it all out for us. Always quick to respond and help. Invaluable. Thank you Donna !
Donna and Graham were extremely helpful throughout the process of making my building regs submission for a loft conversion. They helped in both developing the design and resolving technical issues. We had a deadline for the building control submission which they met with several days to spare and the submission was approved without any comments. Would definitely recommend them for loft conversion work.
I can’t recommend CKA highly enough. We needed drawings done for a garage conversion we were planning and had been let down by the local firm we thought we would work with. The team at CKA were extremely quick to engage, talk through our plans and get working on our design to ensure we could still meet planning deadlines. The quality of their work is extremely high and they really think about what you want and the practicalities of that to provide the best service. I’d also specifically call out Donna as being exceptional through this process. Throughly recommended!
Great company. Needed plans for a title deed split, they provide fast, accurate plans. Donna was great.... thankyou !. I would highly recommend to anyone.
I can not thank Liam O’Brien enough for the the help, guidance and support over the past 2 years on my self build project. Liam has gone the extra mile with changes and up-dates to help get the project over the line. I would happily recommend his services.

It couldn’t be easier
How Does a Self Survey Work?
A self survey really is a lot easier than it sounds. We don’t expect any of our clients to be architects or artists. We simply ask for a rough sketch of your floorplan with dimensions, and we will take care of the rest.
We have multiple guides on how to do it as well as templates to use too, all making the process incredibly easy for anyone to do.
When you’re done, simply send us your sketch for us to create our own sketches from, and we’ll be in touch to make sure we have everything right and our ideas are a great fit for what you have in mind.
And of course, we’re always on hand throughout every step of the process to offer all of the help and advice you need whenever you might need it.
Do I need building regulations?
Some smaller build projects do not need building regulations, but any structural addition will most likely need a building certificate which comes via building control. Without one you may struggle to sell or insure your property.
Do I need planning?
We can advise on whether you need planning, permitted development enquiry, prior notice or change of use in our initial free discussions.

Do I need to be able to draw?
No, floor plans are basically square rooms. It is very easy for us to draw scaled drawings from basic sketches with measurements.
