Architects, engineers, and project managers bring the most value when they design, solve problems, and manage clients. When they spend hours on linework, dimensions, and sheet setup, billable expertise goes to waste. Outsourcing CAD production frees your team to focus on higher value work.
Well-organized drawings with consistent layers, blocks, and external references are faster to edit, share, and reuse. Disorganized files slow down every revision and cause plotting errors. Professional CAD drafting builds files that stay useful long after the current project ends.
Firms often turn down projects because their drafting team is already at capacity. With on-demand CAD support, you can take on more work without hiring, training, or buying extra software seats. For complete design and documentation support beyond CAD production, explore our design and drafting services.
We turn hand sketches, napkin drawings, PDF markups, and engineer notes into precise, scaled AutoCAD drawings. Dimensions, annotations, and line weights follow your standards. Professionals get clean CAD files without spending their own time at the keyboard.
We pick up your marked-up prints or Bluebeam markups and update the CAD files quickly and accurately. Revision clouds, deltas, and revision blocks are updated on every affected sheet. Project teams keep drawings current without slowing down their design work.
We convert scanned TIFF, JPEG, and image-based PDF drawings into fully editable vector CAD files. Lines, arcs, text, and dimensions are rebuilt accurately rather than auto-traced. Firms unlock old drawings that were previously impossible to edit.
We create CAD templates with layer standards, text styles, dimension styles, plot style tables, and title blocks based on your preferences or the U.S. National CAD Standard. Consistent templates make every project faster to start and easier to manage. Growing firms get a professional foundation for all future drawings.
We audit, purge, and repair outdated or corrupted DWG files, fixing broken external references, duplicate layers, and inconsistent blocks. Files are reorganized to match your current standards. Teams work faster with drawings that open cleanly and plot correctly.
We convert drawings between MicroStation DGN and AutoCAD DWG formats while preserving levels, line styles, and annotations. We also convert files between AutoCAD versions for compatibility. Firms can work smoothly with clients and agencies that use different platforms.
We build organized libraries of standard details, typical sections, and reusable blocks for your firm. Each detail is drafted to your standards and indexed for easy use. Teams save hours on every project by reusing proven, accurate details.
We prepare accurate CAD floor plans for offices, campuses, and commercial properties to support space management, furniture layouts, and move planning. Room names, numbers, and areas are organized for facility use. Facility managers get drawings that reflect how their buildings are actually used.
We create clean, easy-to-read floor plans for leasing brochures, property listings, and tenant presentations. Area calculations can follow BOMA measurement standards. Brokers and property owners present spaces clearly to prospective tenants and buyers.
We draft boundary surveys, topographic maps, and site surveys from field data and survey notes using AutoCAD Civil 3D. Contours, points, and legal descriptions are presented clearly. Land surveyors get finished drawings ready for review and stamping.
We prepare planting plans, hardscape layouts, and irrigation plans from landscape architect sketches and markups. Plant schedules and irrigation legends are organized for easy review. Landscape professionals get accurate CAD sets without adding drafting staff.
For firms with ongoing drafting needs, we provide dedicated CAD drafters who work as an extension of your team. Your drafter learns your standards, preferences, and project types over time. You get consistent output without the cost of hiring a full time employee.
CAD drawings support work in many fields beyond building design. Our drafters adapt to the conventions and standards of each industry we serve.
Firms use our drafters to handle production work and revisions while their architects focus on design and clients.
Engineers send us markups and calculations, and we return organized CAD drawings ready for review.
Contractors rely on us to turn field sketches and redlines into clean drawings for submittals, records, and coordination.
Surveyors use our CAD team to draft plats and topographic maps from their field work.
Landscape professionals rely on us for accurate planting and irrigation drawings.
Facility teams use our floor plans to manage space, plan moves, and maintain building records.
Brokers and owners use our marketing floor plans to present properties clearly to tenants and buyers.
Getting CAD help is fast and straightforward, whether you need one sheet or ongoing support. Here is how we work with your team.
Share your sketches, markups, scans, or existing DWG files, along with your templates, title blocks, and CAD standards.
We review the scope and send a fixed price or hourly estimate with a clear delivery time.
Our drafters prepare the drawings, and our CAD supervisor checks layers, dimensions, annotations, and plot settings.
You receive DWG and PDF files ready to use, and we make any adjustments you request quickly.
Browse real samples of our takeoffs, cost estimates, and drafting work to see the level of detail you can expect on your own project.
Pricing depends on the type of drawings, number of sheets, complexity, and turnaround time. Smaller tasks, such as redlines or single-sheet conversions, are often priced per sheet, while ongoing work can be billed hourly or through a monthly dedicated drafter arrangement. We provide a clear quote before starting.
For many firms, yes. A full-time drafter comes with salary, benefits, software licenses, equipment, and training costs, even during slow periods. With outsourced CAD drafting, you pay only for the work you need, which helps control overhead while keeping capacity available.
Simple redlines and small drawings are often completed within 24 hours. Larger drawing sets or conversion projects usually take several days depending on volume. We confirm the turnaround time when we send your quote.
Yes. Send us your templates, layer standards, title blocks, text styles, and sample drawings. Our drafters follow them exactly, and we keep your standards on file for every future project.
We work with current and older AutoCAD versions and can save files in the version you need. We also work with MicroStation DGN files and can convert between DWG, DGN, DXF, and PDF formats.
Accuracy depends on the quality and scale of the original scan. Rather than relying only on automatic tracing, our drafters rebuild drawings manually using the dimensions shown on the original. This produces clean, accurate files that are reliable for future use.
Yes. Send a clear sketch with key dimensions and notes, along with photos if available. We will turn it into a scaled CAD drawing and list any questions about missing dimensions before finalizing.
Yes. For firms with steady drafting needs, we assign a dedicated CAD drafter who works on your projects regularly. This drafter learns your standards and preferences, which leads to faster turnaround and consistent results.
Yes. We audit and repair DWG files, fix broken external references, purge unused items, merge duplicate layers, and reorganize drawings to your current standards. Clean files open faster, plot correctly, and are easier for your team to edit.
We store project files on secure, access-controlled systems and share them only with the drafters assigned to your work. We are also happy to sign a confidentiality agreement before you send any drawings.
CAD drafting creates 2D drawings made of lines, text, and blocks, which work well for many drawing types and quick revisions. BIM modeling creates intelligent 3D building models with embedded data. If your project needs a full 3D model, our BIM modeling services team can help.
