Draftly
Draftly · For drafting shops

Engineered geometry, ready to draft.

Bring verified sites and engineered frames in as editable 1:1 CAD-style geometry — with paper and model space, layouts and annotation. Drop in material block sets and the cut list and BOM build themselves, linked to the model so nothing drifts. Fewer hours per sheet, AS1100 out the other side.

~20MINUTES From a verified site to editable 1:1 geometry — layouts, overlays and annotations ready to refine, not a locked PDF.

One connected workflow

From address to approval, in one workflow.

The verified site flows straight through to the engineered frame and the lodgement pack. Each step builds on the last — nothing is entered twice, so the whole run takes minutes, not weeks.

01

Address

Start with the property address. That's the whole input.

02

Research

Zone, overlays and lot boundary pulled from official council data.

03

Siting

Place the frame on the block within the rules that apply.

04

Compliance

Members sized to AS/NZS standards — steel, timber, concrete.

05

Submission

Council-ready drawings to AS1100, with BOMs, ready to send.

START TO FINISH · about twenty minutes
The output, not a promise

Verified government planning data. Nothing is guessed.

Every planning fact — zone, overlays, the real lot boundary, setbacks, height limits — comes straight from official government data for that exact block. Anything that can't be verified is left out, never invented.

That full analysis is what makes the twenty minutes possible: the verified site feeds the engineered frame and the drawings directly, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing waits on a consultant.

Automated BOM & cut lists

Drop in a block set — the BOM writes itself.

Pick a material block set and watch the cut list and bill of materials build live. Every block is linked to the geometry, so quantities, lengths and steel mass stay in step as you add. Give it a go:

Material block sets
Cut list — linked to geometry
QtyMemberProfileLength
Bill of materials — auto-totalled
ProfileQtyTotal lengthMass

Illustrative block sets and quantities, for demonstration. In Draftly, block sets link to your engineered model — adjust a member and the cut list and BOM update with it. Figures are indicative; confirm before fabrication or lodgement.

Drafting on site — full capability, on mobile.

Not a stripped-back viewer. The full Draftly workspace runs on your phone or tablet, so you can measure, adjust the geometry and update the pack standing on the block — not back at the desk hours later.

Why drafting shops use it

The engineering set, made drawable.

Automated BOM & cut lists

Drop-in block sets

Drop in a material block set and the cut list and bill of materials generate automatically — linked to the geometry, so change a member and the numbers follow.

Editable 1:1 geometry

Not a locked PDF

Designs import as true CAD-style geometry with paper and model space — adjust, annotate and lay out, then hand back into the engineering loop.

Real engineering, built in

Sized to AS/NZS

The geometry you draft from is already sized and load-checked to AS/NZS standards — with council-ready output to AS1100.

Verified site context

Straight from the source

The boundary, overlays and setbacks come from official government data, so your sheets sit on facts, not a redrawn sketch.
