Can you draft both the fixed dock and floating dock in one set?
Yes. Combined waterfront sets can coordinate fixed dock framing, floating dock layout, gangway geometry and adjacent structures when the project information supports that scope.
Dock Drafting
Fixed and floating dock drafting for Florida waterfront projects.
Dock projects combine site constraints, access, framing, flotation, piles, gangways, utilities and adjacent structures in a relatively small footprint. Late Night Coastal Design turns project information into coordinated dock drawings contractors can use for permitting, pricing and construction coordination.

Fixed docks, floating docks and gangways
Plan production can cover fixed pile-supported docks, floating docks, gangways, access platforms and combinations of those systems. Typical sheets show proposed location, dimensions, setbacks and relationship to shore, along with framing layouts, elevations, sections and construction details based on the project information and design criteria provided.
Framing and layout coordination
A useful dock plan set needs more than an outline. Framing direction, member callouts, pile locations, edge conditions, deck layout, connections, flotation or gangway geometry and transitions to upland access must read consistently across the set. Drafting focuses on that coordination so revisions do not create conflicts between plan, elevation and detail views.
Working around existing waterfront conditions
Many dock jobs are replacements, additions or upgrades at sites with seawalls, existing piles, lifts, mature trees, utilities or other constraints. We can organize existing and proposed conditions clearly and create plan views that make those relationships easy to understand. Redacted portfolio examples on the site show projects shaped around existing site conditions.
Permit and revision support
We can prepare permit-oriented plan sheets and update them after contractor changes or reviewer comments. The exact submittal requirements depend on the jurisdiction and project. Engineering or sealed documents, when required, are handled by the appropriate licensed professional.

Common Questions
What contractors usually ask.
Can you work from hand sketches or marked-up PDFs?
Yes. Those are common source materials, especially when paired with a survey, dimensions and photos.
Can you add flotation-device layouts?
Yes, when the flotation requirements and product/design criteria are provided, the layout can be incorporated into the drafting set.
