Services for workshops

Design and drawing support for your workshop

I can join your team or take on drawing work when you have more jobs than drafters.

  • Client-ready 3D designs

    Accurate SketchUp models and V-Ray renders that help your sales team win and sign off jobs.

  • Shop drawings & set-out

    Dimensioned plans, elevations and sections in LayOut, clear enough for the factory floor and the installers.

  • Cutting lists & CNC-ready files

    Part lists taken straight from the model, plus files prepared for your CNC workflow, so there is less re-typing and fewer errors.

  • SketchUp plugin customisation & training

    Custom tools and components built around how your workshop works, plus training so your team can use SketchUp efficiently.

About

A designer who understands how things are built

Portrait of Ahmed Ali

I'm a kitchen and joinery designer and SketchUp specialist. I care about designs that look right to the client and work for the workshop that builds them.

Before joinery, I spent 15 years (since 2011) at the Port Said Shipyard (Suez Canal Authority) in metal fabrication. That work taught me precision, how to read engineering drawings, and to take workplace safety seriously. I bring the same habits to every set-out I draw.

Creator of Khazana

I built Khazana, a SketchUp plugin for designing kitchens, wardrobes and furniture. It includes CNC-related modules and is used by kitchen workshops in Egypt and the Gulf. I don't only use design software; I understand it well enough to build tools that make it faster and more accurate for a workshop.
