Drafting Technician
Role Overview
The Drafting Technician plays a key role in translating design concepts into well-coordinated, high-quality technical documentation. This position supports the design team across all project stages, ensuring that design intent is accurately developed, detailed, and communicated in line with LOFT's standards. The role requires a balance of technical expertise, coordination ability, design sensitivity, and the ability to independently prepare project quantity and cost documentation.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Documentation and Detailing
Develop comprehensive architectural and interior drawing packages (plans, sections, elevations, detailed drawings, and joinery details).
Translate design concepts into coordinated and buildable technical documentation.
Prepare detailed construction drawings aligned with materials, specifications, and project requirements.
Review and update drawings based on internal and external feedback.
Support the design team from concept through detailed design.
Contribute to space planning refinement and technical resolution of design elements.
Assist in material and finishes documentation to ensure alignment with design intent.
Coordinate drawings across disciplines (architectural, structural, MEP, and interiors).
Integrate consultant inputs and resolve clashes in coordination with the design team.
Respond to markups and ensure timely updates of drawing sets.
BOQ Preparation and Quantity Take-Off
Prepare Bill of Quantities (BOQ) independently based on approved architectural, interior, and construction drawings.
Conduct accurate quantity take-offs for materials, finishes, fixtures, and other project requirements.
Ensure BOQs are properly measured, itemized, and aligned with the latest approved drawings and specifications.
Coordinate with the design and project teams to clarify quantities, materials, specifications, and scope of work.
Review drawings and project documentation to identify changes that may affect quantities and update BOQs accordingly.
Support project budgeting, material procurement, and cost estimation by providing accurate quantity information.
Qualifications and Requirements
Degree or diploma in Drafting Technician or a related field.
3–6 years of relevant experience as a Drafting Technician.
Strong proficiency in AutoCAD (mandatory); Revit and SketchUp are highly preferred.
Proven ability to independently prepare BOQs and carry out accurate quantity take-offs.
Solid understanding of construction detailing, materials, finishes, and building methods.
Good understanding of architectural and interior construction documentation.
Familiarity with visualization tools (Lumion, Enscape, V-Ray, etc.) is an advantage.
Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, MEP, and interior drawings.
Works independently on assigned drawing packages and BOQ preparation with minimal supervision.
Strong attention to detail, accuracy, coordination, and time management.
Good communication and problem-solving skills.
