How to Start a Career in Architectural Drafting in 5 Easy Steps

Are you passionate about architecture and design and have a keen eye for detail? If so, a career in architectural drafting might be the perfect fit for you! Architectural drafters play a crucial role in the construction industry by translating ideas and concepts into detailed technical drawings. In this blog, we will explore the five steps to kick start your career in architectural drafting.

Step 1: Obtain the Required Education

The first step in pursuing a career in architectural drafting is to obtain the necessary education. Most entry-level positions require a minimum of an associate’s degree or a certificate in architectural drafting or a related field. These educational programs provide you with a solid foundation in drafting techniques, computer-aided design (CAD) software, and knowledge of building codes and regulations.

It’s important to choose an accredited program that offers hands-on experience and up-to-date curriculum. Research different schools and explore their course offerings, faculty credentials, and alumni success. Investing in your education will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the field.

Step 2: Gain Hands-On Experience

While education provides you with the theoretical knowledge, gaining practical experience is equally crucial. Look for opportunities to intern or work as an architectural drafter at architectural firms, engineering companies, or construction firms. This will allow you to apply what you’ve learned in real-world scenarios and develop your drafting skills further.

During your internships or entry-level positions, make sure to observe and learn from experienced drafters. Pay attention to their drafting techniques, software usage, and communication with architects and engineers. This hands-on experience will not only enhance your skills but also provide valuable networking opportunities within the industry.

Step 3: Master CAD Software

Proficiency in CAD software is a must-have skill for any architectural drafter. Computer-aided design software allows drafters to create accurate and detailed drawings, renderings, and 3D models. Some commonly used CAD software in the industry include AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and ArchiCAD, among others.

Take the time to familiarize yourself with these software programs and master their features. Consider enrolling in additional courses or pursuing certifications specific to CAD software to showcase your expertise. Keeping up with the latest software updates and advancements will give you a competitive edge in the job market.

Step 4: Develop Strong Communication and Teamwork Skills

Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential for success in architectural drafting. As a drafter, you will need to collaborate with architects, engineers, and other professionals involved in the construction process. Clear and effective communication ensures accuracy and efficiency in conveying design ideas and technical information.

Additionally, developing good interpersonal skills will help you build strong working relationships with colleagues and clients. Architects and engineers rely heavily on drafters to bring their vision to life, so being able to understand and interpret their instructions accurately is crucial.

Step 5: Keep Learning and Stay Updated

The field of architectural drafting is continually evolving with advancements in technology and changes in building codes and regulations. To stay competitive and relevant in the industry, it’s important to keep learning and stay updated on the latest trends and developments.

Attend workshops, seminars, and industry conferences to expand your knowledge and network with professionals in the field. Join professional organizations like the American Drafting Design Association (ADDA) or the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) to access resources and connect with fellow drafters. Additionally, subscribe to industry publications, follow architectural blogs, and participate in online forums to stay informed about the newest techniques, software updates, and industry news.

Starting a career in architectural drafting requires dedication, hard work, and a passion for design. By following these five steps — obtaining the required education, gaining hands-on experience, mastering CAD software, developing strong communication and teamwork skills, and staying updated — you’ll be well on your way to a successful career in architectural drafting. So, grab your drafting tools and get ready to turn your architectural visions into reality!

TO THE POINT - VMZINC’s column

BIM: 20% technique, 80% human

A conference at the Institute for Ecoresponsible Design of Buildings (ICEB), on 23 January at the Maison de l’Architecture in the 10th arrondissement of Paris provided me with an opportunity to review a subject previously discussed in one of my Posts last year: BIM or Building Information Modelling, a global integrated process that is decisive for the evolution of our construction professions

Bound to happen!

“BIM: 20% of technique, 80% of human”: the name of the conference was sufficiently explicit to arouse my curiosity! And so was its subject, as it was geared to “the vision of the architect, especially in terms of design and on-site work, combined with the vision of the ACA (Assistant to the Contracting Authority) , upstream of programming and downstream of operation and maintenance.”

From the outset, the tone was set by the first speaker, Patrick Delaporte-Arnal (1) who, at the opening of the conference, declared that “BIM is bound to happen!” He subsequently explained that BIM is much more than just digital modelling, as it involves a new way of working between stakeholders in decision making, design, completion and maintenance. This approach is really akin to a collaborative process as it is focused on a framework that is the same for everybody.

Deployment is still heterogeneous

The overview he went on to deliver enabled me to understand that things had really changed in five years, since the first time I heard of this new concept. It was at the Equerre d’argent awards ceremony in 2012, where I met Itaï, the director of Polantis, who had just launched his portal!

However, BIM is far from being fully developed in Europe. England is by far the most advanced in this regard: local authorities there have been publishing 100% BIM calls for tender for their own buildings since 2015.

France got off to a rather late start. The 1st of January 2017 was supposed to be the date when the State would launch the same initiative, but the decree was postponed by a year. Which is a pity because we can see that BIM is in fact gradually taking off, and rather quickly with French professionals, perhaps to give a little more time to artisan companies, most of which are not yet fully up to speed on BIM...

The most commonly used formats are emerging (Revit – ArchiCad). Engineering firms and architects are equipping themselves. But not as fast as contractors, who realise the financial advantage of this method of managing buildings and work sites, which puts everyone in agreement on one single complete model.

Architect  Olivier Celnik (2) , the second speaker - who practices BIM at his firm Z- Studio and teaches it in the Masters degree programme at the prestigious Ponts et Chaussée science, engineering and technology school– gave a very operational and highly positive overview of his experience. He also recognised that there is still a large degree of reticence regarding the use of new tools, as some people consider that BIM has the potential to generate creative regression and difficulty managing complex forms.  

In this regard, the doubts and worries expressed by some participants in the debate came from professional profiles over the age of 50, whose intellectual references may date from the 1970s or 1980s! So BIM also highlights a form of generational fracture.

Olivier Celnik very rightly, and in friendly terms, drew a parallel with the CAD revolution that took place thirty years ago. The switch from pencil to mouse generated exactly the same worries! Above all, it highlighted the high level of enthusiasm among private project owners, who quickly saw in this new way of working the means to take back control of the project, and consequently of the costs. He made his audience smile when he described what general contractors will no longer be able to do, in particular in terms of their approximate evaluation of surfaces and quantities……… Which is good news!

From pioneering logic to an operational approach

Despite generational and financial drawbacks, BIM is on the right track to be integrated by all construction professions. We are seeing a form of convergence that is in fact quite fast and increasingly comprehensive use of the tools and approach for an increasingly large number of projects. There is proof all over Europe that it works!

In just three years, BIM evolved from a pioneering logic, visible mainly in specialised trade shows (e.g. BIM World) to an experimental logic and is now quasi-operational. For the last 3 years, competitions and architecture prizes have been awarding prizes to 100% BIM projects throughout Europe.

(e.g. https://www.bca.gov.sg/events/scpw/international-bim-competition.html)

And what about us?

At VMZINC, apart from the textures and colours of our products, which have been on line for 2 years now on the Polantis portal, the BIM approach is becoming a reality. At the start of 2017, five complete facade systems (including overlapping panels, composite panels and the Mozaïk system) will be downloadable from this portal and on our websites. It should be noted that our systems will be presented featuring complete treatment of the wall, ranging from the zinc cladding to the supporting wall or structure. All of this makes up a package to be integrated in one block, with non-zinc components defined as generic in their dimensions and performance.

I repeat: BIM is bound to happen, spread the word!
