CAD Drawing Services

Based in Nottingham, Advanced Setting Out provides CAD services for bars, hotels and restaurants. The company helps turn interior design ideas into clear, detailed drawings, giving everyone involved a better understanding of how a space will come together. Hospitality spaces need to look great, but they also need to work well for the people using them every day. That means thinking about everything from where guests sit to how staff move around. Good CAD drawings help connect those practical details with the overall design, making it easier to discuss ideas, spot potential problems and keep everyone on the same page.

Whether it’s a cosy restaurant, a busy bar or a welcoming hotel, the aim is to create somewhere people enjoy spending time. Advanced Setting Out brings a focus on hospitality to its CAD work, helping make sense of the details behind these spaces. Clear drawings give designers and project teams a useful reference as plans develop and decisions are made. They also help explain how different parts of an interior fit together. It’s about taking an idea and making it easier to understand, plan and put into practice, with thoughtful spaces for guests and staff at the heart of it.

Bio

Richard Hallam founded Advanced Setting Out in Nottingham, bringing a practical joinery background to his CAD work. Before moving into the drawing office at Timber Tailors, Richard worked as a bench and site joiner, giving him an understanding of how things are made and fitted. He spent five years in the company’s drawing office before starting as a freelancer in summer 2006. Since then, he’s worked with businesses from Aberdeen to Plymouth, producing drawings for joinery and shopfitting projects. He uses Autodesk Inventor for 3D CAD work and is also experienced in AutoCAD 2D LT.

Richard’s experience covers everything from retail prototypes and museum displays to fitted furniture for universities and luxury accommodation. He spent nine months working on furniture and fitments for the BBC’s move to Salford Quays, and has worked closely with the Marks and Spencer and John Lewis Partnership design teams. More recently, his work has focused on some of London’s best-known hotels, including Claridge’s, The Dorchester and The Berkeley. That mix of workshop experience and detailed drawing work shapes his approach today: understanding the design, thinking through the practicalities and helping turn ideas into something that can be made and installed.
