What we deliver
Markups done while you keep designing
Redlines pile up at every stage: client comments, consultant changes, reviewer notes, site queries. They have to be done, and done carefully, but they pull senior people away from design.
Send us the marked-up PDFs or scans. We update the drawings or the model itself, add clouds and revision tables to your standard, update related sheets and schedules, and send back a change log. Anything unclear goes on a query list rather than being guessed.
Many clients keep a standing arrangement: markups sent at the end of the day come back ready the next morning.

How a project runs
Where redlines come in
Every redline is ticked off one by one, and related sheets are updated so one change doesn't quietly create another problem.
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.

FAQs
Redlines & drawing updates questions
Quick answers about turnaround, formats, checking and pricing for redlines and drawing updates.
Small sets usually come back by the next working day.
The model, so views, schedules and sheets stay consistent.
Every markup is ticked off against the redlines, and a second person checks the set.
It goes on a query list and we agree it with you.
Yes, as long as they’re legible.
Yes. A standing arrangement works well for regular overflow.
Usually hourly, with a quick estimate for each set before we 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.
