What we deliver

Containment routes that are clear on site

Cable trays, ladders and trunking compete with ducts, pipes and beams for the same few hundred millimetres. When containment is drawn in 2D and coordinated on site, someone always ends up rerouting.

We model containment and equipment in 3D, coordinate it with the other services, and produce lighting, power and schematic drawings your installers can work from. Supports, segregation and access zones are modeled too, not just tray centrelines.

We support electrical contractors on new builds and refurbishments, from a single switch room to a whole building.

Why Cadbricks

Electrical drawings installers trust

Our electrical engineers understand containment fill, bend radii and access, so routes that work in the model also work on site. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.

  • Your standards first

    Templates, title blocks, families and naming are set up before any work starts.

  • Independent QA

    A separate reviewer checks every set against your brief and markups before delivery.

  • Overlapping hours

    Shifts overlap US and UK working hours for calls, reviews and quick turnarounds.

  • Scales with your workload

    Add capacity for a deadline and scale back when it passes, without hiring.

  • Confidential by default

    NDAs on request, controlled access and secure transfer for every project file.

  • Trial project available

    Start with a small live task to check quality and communication before committing.

Ask our team

No. Design stays with the consultant or your engineers. We model and draft their design for installation.

Yes: trays, ladders, trunking and conduit with sizes and supports.

Yes: single-line, riser and distribution schematics to your standards.

Industry-standard MEP modeling, coordination and electrical drafting platforms.

Yes. Containment is coordinated with ducts, pipes, sprinklers and structure before release.

Yes, directly from the model for procurement.

Yes. One floor or one switch room is a good start.

Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.

Use whatever suits you: email, a file-sharing link or your own common data environment. Within a working day of receiving the package, we send a short list of questions so nothing is left to guesswork.
