Do you need detailed working drawings for your project?
Our Service Can Help Quickly, Easily & Affordably
WE ALSO PROVIDE PLANNING DRAWINGS
And Building Regulations Drawings:
WHAT ARE WORKING DRAWINGS?
Working drawings 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 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.

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. All the very best Barry Bower house project Liam O’Brien Architectural Designer Design & Technical Manager | Online Drawing UK
Very straightforward process. I supplied all the measurements and a rough plan of what I was hoping to achieve and the plans arrived in good time. No hassle and competitively priced.
CKA/Online Drawing UK offer a great service. Communication has been good, the finished product exactly what we want, and the fees reasonable. Liam has been especially helpful in understanding our needs and ensuring that we include the necessary details for our submission. Having used other architects in the past I will now use CKA/Online Drawing UK for all my future projects.
highly recommend!
I was very happy with the service. They supplied good measuring guides, feedback and drawings. Great value.
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!
I have used online drawings on three occasions and have nothing but praise for the team over there, very helpful and prompt with their work. Thank you.
Quick and efficient, with great communication throughout the design process. Would highly recommend.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How Quickly Can I Get My Drawings?
From receipt of all the required information you can have your drawings in a little as 2 weeks (subject to workload)
Why Trust Online Drawing?
Online Drawing UK has been operating for over 20 years. We were one of the very first in the industry to embrace online technologies into our practice, helping us to be as efficient, cost effective and convenient as we possible could be.
Over the years, we have worked with residential and commercial customers as well as other architects, offering a reliable and trust worthy method of getting essential architectural drawings through industry leading service.
Can You Help With Planning Applications and Permitted Development Rights?
Absolutely, we offer a full-service architectural package.
That includes taking our clients through surveys and designs, across the planning stages with any relevant enquiries or permissions, and then through the Building Control stages of the project too, providing you with your approved drawings at every step of the way.
Do You Provide Building Regulations Drawings?
We certainly do. Our building regulations drawings are created and submitted to Building Control on your behalf, meaning that we take care of the whole process from start to finish and provide you with your detailed building regulations drawings upon approval.
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.
