The Unsung heroes of the construction industry: Draughtsmen

Whenever a new skyscraper adds grace to the skyline, engineers and architects tends to hog all the credits, forgetting one professional without whose input no structure would stand the test of time, or stand at all; the draughtsman.

Draughtsman ensure that architectural ideas comes into reality by communicating the architects design into a format that gives the contractor clear and detailed instructions on what materials to use, and where.

Drafters’ drawings are important as they provide visual guidelines and show how to construct a product or structure. Their drawings include technical details and specify dimensions, materials and procedures, especially for the using drawings, rough sketches and specifications made by architects,engineers and surveyors, but they are rarely celebrated in the field.

Draughtsmen are actually engineering communication experts, hence without them no structure can be created, which explains why they are so vital in the construction and property industry.
