Services
Production support
across the project workflow.
Bidwell supports architecture practices, architectural designers, design-and-build firms, contractors and specialist subcontractors with architectural drawing production, construction estimating and 3D visualisation.
Use Bidwell for a defined project requirement or as ongoing drawing-production capacity behind your business.
What We Provide
Four core service areas.
One coordinated production resource.
Each service can be commissioned independently. Where a project requires more than one production discipline, the agreed outputs can be coordinated around the same project information and delivery requirements.
Planning & Prior Approval Drawings
Existing and proposed drawing packages prepared for either the agreed Planning Application route or a confirmed Prior Approval route.
3D Visualisation
Exterior and interior architectural imagery developed from supplied design information and an agreed visual brief.
Building Regulations Drawings
Coordinated plans, elevations, sections, construction details and supporting technical information.
Construction Estimating
Quantity take-offs, detailed estimates, tender estimates and trade-specific commercial outputs.

Project-based work or ongoing drawing capacity.
Project-based services
Planning Application Drawings, Prior Approval Drawings, Building Regulations Drawings, construction estimating and 3D visualisation can be commissioned for a defined project requirement.
The scope, deliverables, fee and turnaround are confirmed before production begins.
View Project-Based PricingMonthly Drawing Plan
The Monthly Drawing Plan provides recurring drawing-production capacity through an agreed monthly credit allowance.
It is designed for recurring, standard drawing-production workloads and does not automatically include estimating or 3D visualisation. Eligible standard Prior Approval drawing packages may be accepted within the plan and normally use one credit.
View the Monthly Drawing PlanQuality Control
Checked before delivery.
The review applied depends on the confirmed service and production scope.
Drawing packages
Checked for coordination, consistency, dimensions, annotation, sheet references and obvious drawing omissions within the agreed production scope.
Construction estimating
Checked against the agreed scope, available drawings and required output before delivery.
3D visualisation
Checked against the supplied project information, agreed viewpoints and visual brief before delivery.
Quality control is limited to the agreed production scope. It does not constitute planning approval, Building Control approval, structural-engineering approval or another professional or regulatory approval.
