Structural drafters produce technical drawings based on rough sketches, specifications and calculations from engineers, surveyors and architects. They add or make necessary changes to designs while checking and verifying that drawings conform to specifications. They consult with other drafters, architects, designers, construction supervisors and clients. Structural drafters write detailed reports, calculate material amounts and costs and prepare construction specifications and timelines. They operate CAD systems to create multi-dimensional graphic views, flow charts, layouts and detailed working drawings to simulate and analyze potential design problems. They also use calculators, slide rules, squares, drafting tables and other drawing equipment to check for mistakes and make corrections by hand. Structural drafters often team with or supervise other drafters.
