Marine contractors often already know what they want to build. The bottleneck is turning surveys, sketches, field dimensions, sales layouts, engineer comments and permit requirements into a clear set of drawings. Late Night Coastal Design focuses on that production gap. With more than eight years of experience across drafting, marine construction and permitting, the goal is to produce plans that communicate clearly to the project team and make sense in the field.
Overflow drafting when your workload picks up
You do not have to move every project to an outside drafter. Use Late Night Coastal Design when your internal CAD workload is backed up, when a project needs revisions quickly, when a regular drafter is unavailable or when you simply need another set of hands. Support can be one project at a time or recurring production work as your pipeline changes.
Common marine projects
Typical work includes fixed and floating docks, seawalls and bulkheads, boat lifts, boathouses, roof structures, waterfront decks, access stairs, gangways, walkways, repair and replacement plans, pile layouts and related marine construction details. Florida-specific service pages provide more detail for dock drafting, seawall drafting and boat lift plans.
What contractors can send
Useful source material includes boundary or topographic surveys, hand sketches, marked-up PDFs, field measurements, existing plan sets, photographs, scope notes, manufacturer information, engineer redlines, permit comments and reference details. We review what is available and define a drafting scope around the information your team already has.
What we can produce
Depending on the project, deliverables can include existing and proposed site plans, plan views, pile and framing layouts, elevations, sections, construction details, dimensions, notes, material callouts, revision sets, as-builts, CAD conversion and organized drawing packages for review by your contractor, engineer or local permitting professional.
Works alongside your engineer and permitting team
Late Night Coastal Design can fit behind the scenes instead of replacing the professionals you already use. For projects outside Florida, the service is drafting and CAD production only; required local engineering, code analysis, permitting responsibility and professional seals remain with appropriately licensed professionals in the project jurisdiction. We can incorporate their markups and comments into the plan set as the project develops. See the broader nationwide drafting service for additional project types.
Florida projects can include expanded coordination
For Florida marine projects, drafting can also be paired with permit-document support and coordination with appropriately licensed engineering professionals when review or sealing is required. Final professional responsibility remains with the reviewing engineer. See Florida marine drafting and Florida marine permitting support for the Florida-specific workflow.

Common Questions
Marine contractor drafting support FAQs.
Can marine contractors use Late Night Coastal Design only when workload gets heavy?
Yes. Contractors can use Late Night Coastal Design for a single project, recurring production work or overflow drafting when internal drafting capacity is tight.
What can I send to start a marine drafting project?
Useful starting information can include a survey, hand sketch, field dimensions, marked-up PDF, existing plans, photos, scope notes, engineer comments or reference details.
Can you work from engineer redlines or permit comments?
Yes. Drafting support can include incorporating engineer markups, agency comments and contractor revisions into the drawing set. Professional engineering decisions remain with the licensed engineer when engineering is required.
Do you provide engineering or permitting outside Florida?
Outside Florida, Late Night Coastal Design provides drafting and CAD production only. Local engineering, code review, permitting responsibility and professional seals remain with appropriately licensed professionals in the project jurisdiction.
What types of marine projects do you draft?
Common project types include fixed and floating docks, seawalls and bulkheads, boat lifts, boathouses, waterfront decks, access structures, repairs, replacements and related marine construction details.
