At VMR Draughting, we provide practical, reliable Electrical CAD drawing services to support electrical design, installation, and compliance across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Electrical CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings are detailed technical plans that show the layout and specification of an electrical system.
They are created using specialised CAD software (such as AutoCAD) and are used to design, plan, and document everything from small power circuits to complex electrical installations in commercial and industrial buildings.
Each drawing acts as a visual guide for how an electrical system should be built or maintained. This can include the placement of sockets and lighting, cable routes, distribution boards, containment systems (like trunking or tray), and connections to devices like alarms or data points.
Electrical CAD drawings typically include:
Scaled floor plans showing electrical fixtures and fittings
Wiring schematics and distribution layouts for accurate installation
Cable routing and containment details to coordinate with other trades
Labelling, circuit references, and load schedules for sign-off and testing
These drawings are essential for ensuring installations are safe, compliant with regulations (like BS 7671), and clearly understood by all contractors involved — from first fix through to commissioning and handover.
Whether you’re building from scratch, retrofitting, or maintaining an existing system, electrical CAD drawings provide the clarity and accuracy needed to avoid mistakes and keep the project running smoothly.
We regularly produce electrical CAD drawings for a wide range of clients across the construction and building services industry:
Electrical contractors – requiring installation drawings, containment layouts, or distribution schematics to guide on-site work
M&E consultants – outsourcing technical drawing production as part of wider design packages
Builders and developers – needing full drawing sets to support project tenders, approvals, and installations
Architects and planning consultants – requesting compliant drawings to support planning applications or client handovers
Facilities and estate managers – documenting upgrades, maintenance changes, or legacy systems in commercial properties
Whether it’s a one-off project, an ongoing contract, or reactive support, we deliver reliable, accurate CAD outputs that make your electrical designs easier to implement and maintain.
We produce detailed layouts showing small power and lighting positions for residential and commercial projects. Drawings include switching arrangements, luminaire types, and wiring paths for first and second fix installation stages.
We create clear, labelled DB schematics that detail circuit arrangements, breaker sizes, load capacities and zoning. These are ideal for handover packs, maintenance logs, and compliance reporting.
VMR prepares fully marked-up plans for emergency lighting and fire detection systems. These include escape route lighting, alarm sounder locations, and call point positions, fully compliant with BS 5266 and BS 5839.
We deliver 2D layouts for cable trays, trunking, conduits and underfloor containment systems. These plans are vital for coordination with other trades and avoiding site clashes, helping projects run more smoothly and efficiently.
For commercial buildings, schools, and public sector sites, we produce full security and comms system plans including camera positions, entry points, cable paths and equipment schedules.
We provide as-built drawings following project completion, often based on redline mark-ups. These are essential for future maintenance, landlord records, and health & safety files.
Our service is trusted by clients across the UK for accuracy, speed and technical quality. We focus on practical outcomes — not just pretty drawings — and know what matters on-site.
