McDowall, QLD

This residential townhouse development in McDowall, QLD comprised multiple double-storey and split-level dwellings, requiring detailed coordination to ensure consistent framing accuracy across varied building types.
BuildSketch Drafting was engaged by the steel frame manufacturer to deliver complete documentation for wall frames, trusses, and structural steel layouts.

Using Vertex BD, our team produced precise, fabrication-ready documentation that aligned with both engineering and manufacturing requirements.

Collaboration & Engineering

The mixed design levels within the development required close coordination between all project stakeholders. BuildSketch Drafting worked collaboratively with the engineer and manufacturer to manage design adjustments across different units, ensuring each framing layout was structurally sound and compliant.

Our team also provided valuable design feedback to optimise steel usage, simplify fabrication, and improve on-site assembly efficiency.

Site Outcome

All documentation and certifications were completed on schedule, and installation was successfully carried out across the entire development.
Only minor on-site adjustments were required — demonstrating the accuracy and practicality of the detailing. BuildSketch Drafting’s proactive coordination helped the manufacturer improve design outcomes and achieve a smoother site installation process.
