Architectural drafters work with architects to create detailed drawings of homes, office buildings, and other structures. Their drawings are used by construction workers and contractors to ensure that all parts the buildings they construct match the architect's specifications.
Since buildings are constructed exactly as drawn, architectural drafters have to create drawings that are very precise and easy to understand. A mistake in the drawing will be reflected in the finished product. Many drafters work on a team with others, and help check each other's work for accuracy.
