Frequently Asked Questions

A: We specialize in the professional drafting and precision installation of specialty architectural features. While we handle a wide range of custom projects, our core expertise lies in:

• Custom Metalwork: Railings, stairs, and gates.
• Architectural Structures: Screen enclosures and canopies.
• Technical Drafting: Detailed shop drawings and design development to ensure every part is engineered for a perfect fit.
• Turnkey Installation: Expert on-site execution to bring our technical drawings to life safely and accurately.

A: We strive for a balance of speed and precision. While every project is unique, here are general estimates:

• Small Projects (Gates, Single Railings): Typically [3–5] business days.
• Complex Projects (Stairs, Canopies, Large Enclosures): Typically [1–3] weeks.
• Commercial Scale Projects require a custom timeline coordinated with the project crew.

The total time is influenced by the level of technical detail and material specs. Every JDS project includes a detailed project schedule upfront to keep your installation on track. 

A: Yes. We understand that construction schedules move fast. JDS Design Group offers expedited drafting and installation services for time-sensitive projects. Because these requests require us to prioritize your timeline, availability depends on our current project load.

A: JDS Design Group specializes in Division 5 architectural drafting and CAD design. While we are not a licensed engineering firm, we bring years of hands-on installation experience in metalwork—including railings, stairs, and gates—to every drawing we produce.

Our expertise lies in creating highly accurate shop drawings and design sets that reflect real-world fabrication and installation requirements. If your project requires a structural engineer’s seal (P.E. stamp), we are happy to coordinate our drafting sets with your engineer of record.
