Before / After

From rough idea to production-ready

Before — initial concept sketch for 3-Bedroom Residential Floor Plan, Architectural Design project by DesignForge UgandaBefore
Hand-drawn pencil sketch — rough room layout, no dimensions.
After — finished CAD design of 3-Bedroom Residential Floor Plan, Architectural Design project by DesignForge UgandaAfter
Final AutoCAD floor plan: 3 bedrooms, living room, dining, kitchen, porches, and full dimension strings.
The Challenge

What needed to be designed

I wanted to practise the full architectural drafting workflow end-to-end: scaling a freehand sketch, laying out walls and openings with correct line weights, and producing a sheet that would hold up to professional review.

The Approach

How DesignForge approached it

  1. 1

    Imported the sketch and scaled it to real-world dimensions in AutoCAD.

  2. 2

    Drew walls, door swings, window openings, fixtures, and room labels with standard architectural line weights.

  3. 3

    Added continuous dimension strings, wall thicknesses, and a professional title block.

  4. 4

    Delivered a clean DWG and PDF set as portfolio deliverables.

The Deliverable

What was produced

Final AutoCAD floor plan: 3 bedrooms, living room, dining, kitchen, porches, and full dimension strings.
