Draper has several resources to make the project architect’s job as easy as possible and increase efficiency to make room for more billable hours. Here are a few examples:

BIM Objects/CAD
We make it easy to include our products in your building design. In addition to 2-D CAD files, we also have BIM objects for most of our products. Our BIM objects were developed by AutoDesk partners and put through quality and accuracy checks before being made available.

Custom Design Support
Sometimes there isn’t a pre-fab solution for things like digital signage, wayfinding, or exterior solar shading. Draper’s solar control solutions and custom AV solutions teams will work with you from project conception to develop a custom design that will integrate into your overall vision.

Easy-to-Find Technical Documents
It’s handy to have access to drawings, BIM objects, specifications, and other technical documentation, but who has the extra time to go searching for them? Draper has made this easy, too. In addition to Designer Pages, there are two simple ways to access technical documents, depending on your preference.
On every product page on our website, there is a “technical documents” tab. You’ll find a link to every downloadable technical document available for that product, including everything mentioned above plus installation instructions and submittals.
We also have a technical documents tool. Go to draperinc.com/documents.aspx and find the product you need. A list of all available downloadable documents for that product will appear.
Photos and Case Studies
Sometimes it’s helpful to see a product in context and in action. Draper offers a variety of case studies on our website. On each product page there are photos, and our architectural sales managers have access to portfolios with large photos and project information.

AIA Classes
We are dedicated to supporting your efforts even before you get the project. We provide six AIA educational courses on all three of our product lines and an online daylighting academy. All classes provide AIA Learning Units. To schedule an in-person class, visit draperinc.com/aiacontinuinged/aiacontinuinged.aspx.
Whatever it takes to make a project architect’s job easier, Draper is there to help. If there’s something important you don’t’ see on this list, contact your Draper architectural sales manager (draperinc.com/contactus) and let us know!
