Timber & Drafting

Technical documentation that is clear where it matters.

Ridge supports residential and building projects with dedicated timber-framing documentation, estimating and CAD drafting — from take-offs and layouts through to detailed drawing packages.

01 / Timber framing

Framing information that helps the project move from drawings to material and assembly.

Ridge provides dedicated timber-framing support for projects that need clear layouts, quantities and structural framing information. The service is suited to builders, suppliers, fabricators and project teams that need a practical documentation package rather than a loose collection of mark-ups.

  • Roof framing layouts
  • Floor framing layouts
  • Wall bracing layouts
  • Tie-down documentation
  • Truss calculations
  • Framing coordination
02 / Estimating

Quantities and take-offs prepared with the drawing set in mind.

Timber estimating is most useful when the quantities line up with the way the project has actually been documented. Ridge can prepare timber take-offs and estimating information alongside the framing layouts so there is a more direct link between what is drawn and what needs to be supplied.

  • Timber estimating
  • Material take-offs
  • Framing quantities
  • Drawing-linked schedules
03 / CAD drafting

Drafting support from early design information through to detailed project drawings.

Ridge’s CAD capability can support a range of project stages. That can include concept and design development drawings, documentation for approvals, tender information, construction details and as-built drawings depending on the project brief.

The priority is consistency: clear dimensions, coordinated information, readable plans and details, and a drawing package that another person can pick up and understand without unnecessary interpretation.

04 / Deliverables

Scope the documentation around what the next person in the process needs.

Not every job requires the same drawing set. Ridge can tailor the deliverables to the stage and purpose of the project, whether the next step is consultant coordination, estimating, approval, tendering or construction.

  • Plans and elevations
  • Sections and details
  • Roof and floor layouts
  • Schedules and annotations
  • Tender drawings
  • As-built drawings
