Ace Design & Development provides CAD design and drafting services to businesses and homeowners in Chelmsford. Our office is at Oaklands Farm in Stock, about 7 miles south of the city centre, so site surveys, measurements and design meetings in Chelmsford are easy to arrange.

We have spent around 30 years in the shopfitting and joinery industry. All of our draughtsmen are competent in AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Rhino, and many started out as joiners and site fixers – so the drawings we produce for Chelmsford projects are made to be manufactured and installed, not just approved.

Projects we help with in and around Chelmsford

As the county town of Essex, Chelmsford has a busy city centre with shops, offices and restaurants that are regularly refitted, and a ring of villages with older and listed properties. The projects we can help with here typically fall into three groups:

• Retail and commercial fit-outs – shopfitting drawings, space planning and point of sale for shops and offices.
• Joinery and metalwork companies – setting out, shop drawings, cutting lists and requisition sheets for local workshops.
• Homeowners and builders – drawings for planning and building regulations, extensions and refurbishments, including listed buildings.

Areas around Chelmsford we cover

Chelmsford city centre, Springfield, Great Baddow, Galleywood, Writtle, Broomfield, Boreham, Danbury, Margaretting, Ingatestone and the surrounding villages – and the rest of Essex, London and Kent.

1. Tell us about the project – send drawings, sketches, photos or a brief by email, or call us to talk it through.
2. Site visit if needed – we can carry out a measured survey and meet you or your client on site.
3. Design and approval – design drawings, and 3D visuals where useful, for your client to approve.
4. Construction and manufacturing drawings – issued with drawing issue sheets, with updates until the project is complete.
