Construction Documentation Services
Ark and Mason has vast experience with construction projects which use our top-notch documentation services. Our goal is to ensure that every detail of your project is captured accurately, helping you stay on track from start to finish. Let’s dive into what we offer with construction documentation and how we can help.
Architectural Construction Documentation
Architectural documentation includes all the drawings, specifications, and instructions that show builders the scope of work and materials to be used. Depending on the size of the project and the level of detail required, these documents typically take 1 to 8 weeks to complete. Whether you’re planning a shopping mall or a boutique coffee shop, our tailored services ensure your vision is accurately translated into actionable plans.
Structural Construction Documentation
Structural documentation outlines how to build the frame — the foundation, beams, columns, and slabs — essentially all the load-bearing elements of a building. The documentation package includes structural drawings, specifications, calculations, and graphics. When working on your project, we always factor in local conditions so a building in Vancouver can withstand earthquakes, while one in Edmonton can handle heavy snow loads.
MEP Documentation and HVAC Duct Drawings
MEP system design is always more than just drawings, specifications, and calculations. We ensure that HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems work together seamlessly and don’t conflict with architectural or structural designs — because no one wants to find themselves in a situation where wiring overlaps with plumbing. We also focus on practicality: your future MEP maintenance team will have easy access to key components for inspection or repair.
3D Visual Documentation
We create detailed 3D models of interiors and exteriors that you can explore from all angles. Our main goal is to accurately reflect your project, facilitating the decision-making process for you and your team. Our detailed construction visual documentation will help you stay on the same page with everyone involved in the space design process and identify any flaws before construction begins.
Construction Photo Documentation
Photo documentation creates a visual history of the construction that keeps everyone informed, from contractors to clients. It’s a powerful marketing tool that showcases your team’s progress — whether to stakeholders to align with their goals or potential clients interested in the building’s development. We recommend taking photos before construction begins and then weekly or bi-weekly throughout the project, with additional shots of key milestones, critical processes, and significant events, such as accidents or weather-related incidents.
Construction Video Documentation
Video documentation allows you to capture construction progress, workflows, and site conditions in detailed clarity. It simplifies construction management and communication with clients and contractors and sisa legal defense in disputes. Depending on your goals, we can create time-lapse videos, 360-degree walkthroughs, or drone footage.
Plumbing and Piping Drawings
Plumbing and piping drawings detail all the pipes, valves, fittings, and connections within a building. Since plumbing often shares space with HVAC systems, we aim to integrate it seamlessly with the existing setup. We design projects so that future plumbing maintenance, renovation, and repair are straightforward and stress-free.
