Millwork, drawn

Submittal-ready shop drawings for commercial casework.

Virginia · Washington · Maryland

For fabricators and contractors across the DC region.

Shop drawings your fabricator can build from, and your architect can approve.

Tito Drafting LLC is a millwork shop drawing service in Northern Virginia. We draft commercial architectural millwork and casework in AutoCAD to AWI standards for fabricators and contractors across Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland: plans, elevations, sections, hardware and key plans. Questions reach you before anything is cut.

1The sheetREF: A-101

One format. Every sheet.

Plan, elevation and section share a sheet and a set of numbers. A key plan sends each unit to its page, and every hardware number has a product page behind it. Scroll to watch one sheet plot, layer by layer.

Stacked fractions to the sixteenth, and one number for the same dimension on every sheet.

2What we drawREF: A-102

Submittal-ready sets for commercial casework.

01

Plans, elevations and sections

Casework dimensioned for fabrication, drawn to AWI standards and the architect’s intent, with the detail the shop needs to build and install. Typical work: ADA vanities, reception desks, medical and office suites, closets and storage, feature walls and niches.

02

Key plans

True key plans that show where every unit sits, so reviewers can find each piece in the building.

03

Hardware and finish schedules

Schedules that match the drawings, organized so they can be reviewed sheet by sheet.

04

Questions up front

Conflicts and gaps in the architectural set go into the cover email as RFIs, so they are answered before anything is built.

05

Revisions after review

Architect and GC comments are worked through one by one and reissued, with every change clouded and numbered.

3How a job runsREF: A-103

From plans to PDF in five steps.

01

Send

The architectural set, your proposal or scope sheet, hardware and finish specs, and the due date. Email is fine.

02

Scope

We list what is in and what is unclear, so open questions reach you before drawing begins.

03

Draw

Plans, elevations, sections, schedules and key plans, in one consistent format.

04

Check

Automated checks, an independent review, then two people.

05

Deliver

A PDF set ready to send. When comments return, we reissue with every change clouded and numbered.

95%

Less drafting time per set.

Since we built our own drafting system around a written drawing standard, a set takes about one-twentieth of the time it used to. The hours we save go to checking the set and answering your questions.

  • 45 minTo answer one recent architect comment, reissued with the change clouded.
  • Same dayFirst set out the day the plans arrived, on one recent two-floor job.
  • 3 checksAutomated checks, an independent review, and two people, before anything is sent.
4Checked three waysREF: A-104

Built on a standard. Approved by a person.

Every set is drawn to a written standard that grows after every job. Nothing goes out until a person has signed off.

Automated

Standards checks

Every set is tested against our drawing standard: labels, leaders, hardware, and consistency across sheets.

Independent

Separate review

The finished set is reviewed by a reviewer that did not build it, and anything it would send back is listed.

Two people

Final approval

Tito and his co-drafter go through the set. Nothing goes out until Tito approves it, and he sends every one himself.

5In practiceREF: A-105

Recent jobs, in brief.

A pricing gap, caught early

The architect’s layout needed more than twice the brackets the proposal had priced. We drew it as designed and raised the difference in the cover note, so it reached the estimator before anything was cut.

Redrawn when the plans changed

The architect issued a new set mid-project. We rebuilt the full package against it and listed what had changed from the previous issue.

Extra scope, drawn the same afternoon

After a call, four additional planters were drawn as an add-alternate on three new sheets, and the full set went back out.

Client and project names withheld

6The studioREF: A-106

A small shop that knows the trade.

Tito Drafting LLC is run from Northern Virginia by Christopher “Tito” Morales and his wife. Tito grew up around the family millwork trade and started the company in 2026 to draw for the fabricators he knows.

We work with cabinet fabricators and millwork contractors on commercial projects. Hablamos español.

Questions we get.

What do I need to send to get a quote?

The architectural set (current issue), your proposal or scope sheet, any hardware and finish specs, and the submittal due date. If something is not ready, send what you have and we will list what is missing.

How fast can you turn a set around?

It depends on the size of the set. On one recent two-floor job, plans arrived mid-morning and the first set went out that evening. Tell us your due date and we will confirm a start date before you commit.

How do you handle comments and revisions?

Architect and GC comments are worked through one by one. We reissue the set with every change clouded and numbered, and the cover note says what changed. Send comments in whatever form they arrive.

Can the sheets carry our company name?

Yes. Send your logo and we will put your company name and logo on the cover sheet.

Do you catch accessibility problems?

We flag the conflicts we can see in the set. A counter drawn above the 34″ maximum, for example, goes into the cover note as an RFI with the number it should be. Final code compliance stays with the architect.

How are the sets drawn so quickly?

We work from a written drawing standard and in-house tools that handle the repetitive parts of a set. People make every decision and approve what goes out.

How is pricing set?

We quote each job from the plans. Send the architectural set and your scope sheet and we reply with a price and a start date before any drawing begins.

Where do you work?

We work remotely for fabricators and contractors across Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland, including Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. Everything is exchanged by email.

What format do I get back?

A PDF set that is ready to send, with a cover note that lists the decisions or questions still open.
