SERVICES
True North Drafting Ltd. offers cad shop drawings for virtually every facet of the commercial glazing industry. Our team of experts produce technically accurate sets of shop drawings for more than 200 projects a year using curtainwall, storefront, window wall, structural glass, canopies, skylights and various other types of aluminum systems.

At TND our standard drawing format is a 24" x 36" sheet size, however our clients also enjoy the flexibility of several other drawing sizes that range from 8 1/2" x 11" for smaller projects, up to 36" x 48" sheet sizes for larger projects.

Regardless of which size paper is used for your project, you are always guaranteed a professional, clean looking, easy to read set of drawings consisting of the following elements:

  • TITLE PAGE: Contains project specifications, drawing legend, architect's name, contractor's name, project name & address, project number etc.

  • FLOOR PLANS: Contain plan views of the entire scope of work and include things like door swings, door numbers and frame locations.

  • FRAME ELEVATIONS: Contain elevations of each frame or opening on the project complete with frame sizes, rough opening sizes, detail reference bubbles and glass types.

  • DETAILS: Contain wall interface details and profiles of the specified material(s) along with "by others" designations, flashing profiles, caulking locations, part numbers, dimensions, anchors, brackets and any other relative information. Details can be drawn full size or half size to suit the client's preference.

Upon completion of your shop drawings, the preferred method of delivery is to have the files e-mailed directly to you for printing in either .dwg, .dxf, .pdf or .plt format. If you don't have the ability to print your shop drawings, or don't want to get involved with this process, no problem - we'll find a reprographic shop (blueprinter) in your area and have them e-mailed directly to them so all you need to do is pick them up or have them delivered right to your office.
