Furniture Shop Drawing Services
Complete drawing sets your production team can work with right away
We turn your sketches, 3D models, or reference photos into accurate shop drawings for cabinet, upholstered, and custom furniture.
A standard set contains field dimensions, a plan view, elevations, sections, and detail drawings. Call it furniture CAD drawing services or technical drawings, the sheets are the same: DWG files a workshop can cut from. What each of those sheets is for, and why the section is the one buyers ask about first, is covered in our guide to furniture shop drawings. Here is a real furniture set in PDF: download the sample.
You send us the task: sketches, photos, dimensions, or a 3D model.
We estimate the scope of work and send you a quote.
Our draftsmen prepare the drawings and you review them.
You get the final files in PDF, DWG, or another format you need.
We draft furniture in AutoCAD and Revit, so the files fit any production workflow
Your project manager is always in touch, and corrections are handled quickly
Our team has drafted thousands of furniture pieces for manufacturers worldwide
Your product designs are safe: we sign an NDA before work starts
Pay per project or hire one of our Senior Draftsmen full-time – and pay per month.
We charge $20/h for CAD and $25/h for BIM projects, with discounts for regular clients and large-scale tasks
What should a furniture shop drawing include?
Overall dimensions, sections through the carcass, joinery details, hardware with part numbers, and material callouts down to veneer direction. If the piece meets a wall, we add installation details too. The goal is a sheet the workshop can build from without calling anyone.
What is the difference between drawings and shop drawings?
Design drawings say what the piece should look like: shape, finish, overall size. Shop drawings say how to actually build it, with every part dimensioned, the joinery resolved and hardware called out by part number. A fabricator can price and cut from the second kind. The first kind they can only admire.
Who prepares furniture shop drawings?
Usually a drafter on the fabricator side, not the designer. Studios like ours take that work over: you send a concept, a photo or a survey, and we turn it into build ready sheets at $20 per hour.
What are the most common mistakes in furniture shop drawings?
Missing clearances around drawers and doors, hardware that never got a part number, and sets drawn without the shop standards in mind. We catch these in review, and the first two rounds of corrections are already in the price.
How do furniture shop drawings help in production?
They remove guesswork. The workshop gets exact dimensions, materials, and assembly details instead of interpreting a design picture. Read more about the essential types of shop drawings in our guide.
What software do you draft furniture in?
AutoCAD for 2D sets and Revit when the project runs in BIM. You get editable DWG or RVT files plus PDFs, drawn inside your title block if you have one.
Can you draft from a photo or a hand sketch?
Yes. We regularly work from photos, hand sketches, and even rough dimensions. If something important is missing, we will ask before we start drafting.
What formats do you deliver?
PDF and DWG by default. Other formats are available on request, and we can match your title block and layer standards.
Can I see examples of furniture shop drawings?
Yes. Our portfolio has full sets for chairs, tables, casegoods and upholstered pieces. Client projects stay under NDA, so we show samples with the branding stripped.
Do you make corrections?
Yes. You review the drawings and send comments, and we update the files until the set is ready for production.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Many of our clients are furniture brands, and we are used to working under non-disclosure agreements.
How much do furniture shop drawings cost?
We charge $20 per hour for CAD work. A simple piece takes a few hours, and a complex item with many details takes longer. Send us the task and we will estimate it for free.
