communicate how something
functions or has to be

• Drafting is the visual language
of industry and engineering.

draftsman is a person who
makes a technical drawing.
• A professional drafter who
makes technical drawings is
sometimes called a drafting
technician. Drafting is the term
used to refer to the systematic

What is Drafting?
• Drafting, otherwise known as technical drawing, is the creation of
accurate representations of objects, buildings, or houses for
technical, architectural, or engineering purposes.
• In drafting, objects are drawn to scale, and usually
comprise a top view, a main view and a side view of the
object or building. They are usually very detailed and
are often used as blueprints for the construction or
assembly of the object. While they are sometimes used
for engineering plans, they are more common in
architecture.
• Someone who works as a drafter is known as a
draftsperson, draftsman, building designer, building
drafter, or drafting officer.
• If you’re looking to renovate, remodel, build a custom
home or expand on your home, a draftsperson can
create the technical house plans you’ll need to have
ready for your building contractor. Even if you have an
engineer and existing design, a draftsman is needed to
create a blueprint for the construction team to follow.
