About the Practice

Founded in 2024 by Alain Mwamba, PDC Architects grew quickly into a team built around one habit: designing in three dimensions from day one.

Professional Draughting Consultants — PDC Architects — is a young, dynamic practice based in Johannesburg, specialising in architectural design and 3D visualisation. Our creative minds are accustomed to using 3D modelling as the primary tool for design development, which means clients see the building before the first brick is laid.

We're currently engaged on developments across South Africa spanning apartments, education, industrial, institutional, medical, office, retail, religious, residential, urban and warehouse work — carrying every project from concept sketch through technical documentation to on-site finishing.

Beyond the Drawing Board

Interior design and finishing, followed through to the last fitting.

Design doesn't stop at the technical drawing set. We stay involved through interior finishing — sanitary ware, joinery, tiling and lighting — so the building on site matches the building we modelled.
