Drawing Out-Sourcing
Sphere Interiors Ltd specializes in providing CAD services to both Office Fit Out Companies and Office Furniture companies. Whether it's covering staff holidays or meeting tight project deadlines, we are here to help. Operating throughout the UK, including London, our team is proficient in AutoCAD and Sketchup, enabling us to deliver 2D and 3D drawings.
While many companies may have PDF drawings, they often prove impractical when modifications are necessary due to their non-editable nature. They are generally out of date because of this.
Our survey process, on the other hand, encompasses a comprehensive analysis of your building or office, beginning with the outline and structure.
We meticulously document various aspects, including internal walls, offices, meeting rooms, tea points, kitchens, and more. By obtaining precise measurements of your furniture, such as desks and storage units, we ensure an accurate representation in the redrawn office plan. Each element is organized on its own layer, enabling us to deliver the specific drawings you require. Whether it's a general arrangement plan showcasing furniture and partitions or a drawing focused solely on partitions, floor grids, and floor boxes, we tailor the output to match your needs precisely.
For significant office furniture reorganizations involving wall relocations or additions, we highly recommend a ceiling survey. This process entails mapping the current locations of light fittings, air conditioning units, fire alarms, and other relevant fixtures. Overlaying this information on the proposed layout allows us to identify necessary fixture relocations and determine any additional requirements.
Furthermore, capturing the positions of power and data outlets (floor boxes) is crucial but often challenging when existing furniture obstructs access. Nevertheless, understanding these locations is pivotal for a new layout. By recording and incorporating this information into the proposed design, we can assess the feasibility of relocating the boxes.
Having comprehensive information at hand empowers contractors to provide accurate pricing and ensures transparency, preventing unexpected costs during the execution phase.
We are committed to delivering a refined and efficient process, facilitating your office planning needs.
Once we have your floor plan in our Autocad Software program we can work on furniture layouts and general Space Planning. Working with the surveyed plan we can accurately calculate floor areas.
Even letting you know how much room each department is taking up. This can be given to you as coloured diagrams.
The Space planning stage is where we would take a brief from you to extract the information we need to commence design layout drawings.
