Architectural Drawing & Design
Welcome to D-Tech Center
D-Tech Center is an online architectural drawing and design training institute, based in Ghana, West Africa. At D-Tech Center, we provide practical, industry-aligned courses that teach students how to prepare real architectural drawings, construction documents, interior layouts, structural sheets, MEP plans, and full architectural packages used on construction projects worldwide. Whether you are a beginner or a working professional, our programs help you develop the drawing accuracy, technical understanding, and visual communication skills needed in modern architecture and construction. D-Tech Center offers courses both in English and French
What We Offer
Our curriculum is built around specialized certificate programs. Each certificate focuses on one major discipline within architectural drawing — such as residential design, commercial design, structural plans, electrical layouts, plumbing drawings, HVAC plans, and interior architectural documentation.
Every certificate earned strengthens your competence, and once all certificates are completed, you become eligible for the Diploma in Architectural Drawing & Design.

Residential Drawing & Design
This certificate course introduces students to the principles and practices of architectural drawing within residential projects. Learners develop strong foundational skills in floor plan layout, elevations, sections, details, and basic site drawings. The course emphasizes drafting standards, architectural conventions, and the ability to translate architectural ideas into clear, precise technical drawings. Students also learn how residential construction logic influences their drawings and documentation.
Commercial Drawing & Design
This advanced course focuses on drawing and documenting commercial buildings, large developments, and high-rise structures. Students learn to prepare complex plans, structural grids, circulation cores, shafts, fire stairs, and multi-level architectural documentation using professional drafting conventions. The course highlights coordination with structural and building systems, preparing learners to produce accurate, industry-ready drawings for mid-rise and high-rise projects.
Interior Design & Drawing
This course explores the drawing requirements of interior architectural design. Students learn to prepare interior plans, interior elevations, furniture layouts, millwork drawings, finish schedules, reflected ceiling plans, material diagrams, and presentation sheets. The focus is on spatial refinement, clarity of documentation, and the technical precision needed for interior construction and decoration work.
Structural Plans
This course trains students to prepare structural drawings that support architectural documentation. Learners develop the ability to draw foundation plans, framing layouts, beams, slabs, columns, and detailed sections, while understanding how structural systems affect architectural design. The course strengthens technical accuracy and is essential for students progressing to commercial and high-rise applications.
Electrical Plans
This course introduces students to the preparation of architectural electrical drawings used in residential and commercial buildings. Learners will develop skills in lighting layouts, power plans, switching systems, symbols, legends, schedules, circuit organization, and basic coordination with other building systems. The focus is on producing clean, readable electrical sheets that integrate seamlessly into an architectural drawing set.
Plumbing Plans
This course provides training in drafting plumbing and sanitary drawings as part of a complete architectural documentation set. Students learn how to prepare water supply layouts, drainage plans, venting diagrams, plumbing risers, fixture coordination, legends, and plumbing schedules. Emphasis is placed on clarity, accuracy, and coordination with architectural and structural elements.
Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Plans
This certificate program teaches students how to draw heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning plans for building projects. Learners develop the ability to prepare duct layouts, diffuser distributions, return air paths, mechanical room layouts, HVAC zoning concepts, equipment schedules, and coordinated HVAC sheets. The course emphasizes clarity, professional standards, and coordination with architectural spaces.
Civil Engineering Drawing
This course introduces students to the essential principles of civil engineering drawings and demonstrates how civil documentation supports and interacts with architectural design. Learners begin by studying core civil drawing techniques such as grading plans, drainage layouts, contours, site engineering, structural engineering, road alignments, pavement design, and stormwater systems. The course then explores how these civil drafting principles apply directly to architectural projects, especially on large sites, complex developments, and mixed-use environments.
Construction Technology
This course focuses on how buildings are constructed in practice, from the ground up. It explains construction methods, building systems, materials, site operations, and project execution in a clear and structured way. Learners gain an understanding of foundation systems, structural execution, building envelopes, finishes, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, as well as construction estimating, scheduling, equipment used on site, and basic site coordination. The course is designed for aspiring contractors, construction site managers, builders, and anyone who wants to understand how design becomes a real, built project.
