Flooring shop drawings — common questions
What do your flooring shop drawings include?
Our flooring shop drawings include layout plans with starting points and centerlines, patterns and borders, transitions between materials, seam diagrams for sheet goods and carpet, and material schedules by room. They are drawn from the finish plans and specifications in your format and carried through reviewer comments and resubmittals until approved.
Which flooring types do you draw?
Your drafter can lay out porcelain and ceramic tile, stone, luxury vinyl, sheet vinyl, resilient flooring, carpet and carpet tile, rubber, and wood flooring, along with base, transitions, and feature strips. If you install a specialty system, we train your drafter on it when you get set up.
Can the drawings match our flooring estimate?
Yes. Because we also provide flooring estimating, your drafter can work from the same documents as your estimate, so the materials and areas on your layouts line up with what you bid. Differences caused by revisions or addenda are flagged for your team to review before ordering material.
Is your flooring drafting AI-enabled?
Yes. Your drafter works with Build Intel and Dexter, our AI co-estimator, which pulls finish schedules, patterns, and transition details with citations, and AI-assisted checks flag seam, cut, and transition issues. AI speeds up the work; your drafter checks every sheet, our QA team reviews it, and you approve the set before submittal.
Can we start with a part-time flooring drafter?
Yes. Many clients start with a part-time or as-needed flooring drafter for busy months and move to full-time as their workload grows. Your flooring drafter stays dedicated to your company rather than shared, and we handle recruiting, training, quality checks, and coverage, so capacity grows or shrinks without you adding headcount.
How fast can we get started?
Most clients finish the free assessment and setup in about an hour, and their flooring drafter typically starts within days. On that call we review your software, standards, and current work, then assign the flooring drafter we'd build your team around. Timelines for each drawing set depend on its size and the documents, so we agree on them one drawing set at a time rather than promising a fixed turnaround.
