A Glasgow drafting studio at dusk — drawings, lamp, tea, misty street outside
From a working drafting practice

Built by someone who's drawn for builders, engineers and architects across Scotland for nearly two decades.

"DraughtAI is the tool I built to take the dull half of my own job — the title blocks, the dimension chains, the standards admin — and hand it to software, so the human work of solving the design stays with the human."

FAQ

The questions our customers ask first

Is the AI a replacement for a qualified draughtsperson?
No. DraughtAI produces a draft. Every drawing must be reviewed and signed off by a qualified draughtsperson, engineer or architect before issue for construction or tender.
Do you train your models on my drawings?
No. Customer files are processed for the requested job and held in encrypted storage in the UK region for up to 30 days for your access, then deleted. We do not use customer drawings to train, tune or evaluate any AI model.
Which CAD software can open the output?
DWG and DXF outputs are written to AutoCAD 2018 format and tested in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight, ZWCAD and LibreCAD. PDFs are vector and printable to A0 – A4.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel from your account or by emailing billing@mccallumdraughting.com. Subscription stays active until period end; pro-rata refunds apply — see refund policy.
Are payments secure?
All payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified provider. We never store your full card number. UK 3D Secure (SCA) is enforced on every transaction.
