What to know about Construction drawings
Construction drawings are the set the building is actually built from: constructional details, insulation build-ups, structural coordination, drainage runs, fire and sound separation and the specification the contractor prices against. They are not the planning drawings with more lines added. They answer a different question — not what will it look like, but how is it made — and they are the set the building control body assesses.

How to choose drafters in Folkestone
- Match the professional to the job: an architect or engineer where the work requires one, a designer for layout and finishes, or an inspector for a condition report.
- Ask whether they are licensed or certified for this type of work in your area, where that applies.
- Review a portfolio or sample report that's similar to your project.
- Get a written agreement that spells out the services, deliverables, number of revisions and how fees are charged.
- Ask whether their drawings will be suitable for a permit application, and whether they'll help with it.
Questions to ask drafters before you hire
- Are you licensed or certified for this type of work in my area?
- What exactly will you deliver: drawings, specifications, a report or site visits?
- How are your fees charged: a fixed fee, hourly or based on the project cost?
- How many rounds of revisions are included?
- Will your drawings be ready for a permit application, and will you submit it?
- Can I see a sample of a similar project or report?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance?
Construction drawing permits in England
Some construction drawing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common construction drawing questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
