CAD Drafting Services for Architects, Engineers and Contractors

Construction projects need drawings from several disciplines that must work together. We draft architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural drawings, so you can send everything to one team and get drawings that share the same backgrounds, grids and standards.

• Architectural: floor plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.
• Mechanical: HVAC plans, duct layouts, equipment schedules and details.
• Electrical: lighting, power, panel schedules and one-line diagrams.
• Plumbing: plumbing plans, riser diagrams and fixture schedules.
• Structural: foundation plans, framing plans, sections and details.

Every firm has its own way of setting up drawings. We follow your CAD standards so drawings drop straight into your sets.

• Layer names, colors and line weights
• Text styles, dimension styles and annotation scales
• Title blocks, sheet numbering and revision tracking
• Plot styles (CTB or STB) for correct printing
• Xrefs, sheet sets and file naming
• Imperial or metric units

If you do not have written standards, we can set up a simple standard for your project, covering layers, text and dimension styles, title block and file naming, and apply it across every sheet. Consistent files are easier for your team to edit later, easier to share with consultants and less likely to print incorrectly. Once agreed, the same standard is used on every future project you send us.

A large part of CAD drafting is updating drawings after review comments, design changes or field conditions. We pick up redlines from PDFs or scanned prints, update the CAD files, and add revision clouds, revision numbers and dates, so everyone can see what changed. Unclear markups are listed as questions rather than guessed.

For large revision rounds, we track every redline on a checklist and mark each one as completed, so nothing is missed between the markup and the updated sheet. This is especially useful when several reviewers have marked up the same set.

Our team prepares construction estimates as well as drawings, so we know what builders look for: clear dimensions, consistent tags, complete schedules and details that can actually be built. Drawings drafted this way lead to fewer questions from contractors and fewer errors on site.

Architects and designers outsource drawing production during busy periods. MEP and structural engineers send us their markups to draft. Contractors use us for shop-ready backgrounds, coordination plans and as-built updates. Facility managers use us to keep building drawings current after renovations.

CAD

Computer-aided design: software used to create precise technical drawings.

Plot style

A setting (CTB or STB) that controls how lines print, such as weight and color.

Sheet set

An organized group of drawing sheets managed together in AutoCAD.

Revision cloud

A cloud-shaped outline that marks a change on a drawing.

Annotation scale

A setting that keeps text and symbols the right size at different drawing scales.

• Which disciplines and sheets are needed?
• Do you have CAD standards, a template and a title block?
• Are there existing CAD backgrounds or xrefs we should use?
• Is the set for review, permit or construction?
• What is the deadline, and are progress sets needed?

Agreeing on these points at the start means drawings come back consistent with the rest of your set.

Before delivery, we check dimensions, tags, schedules and references between sheets, confirm that layers and plot styles follow your standards and print a test PDF to catch overlapping text and line weight problems. Drawings that pass these checks need fewer corrections from your team and cause fewer questions from contractors.

When we draft several disciplines on the same project, we use shared backgrounds and grids, so architectural, MEP and structural sheets line up. If a duct, pipe or beam conflicts with something on another sheet, we flag it so the design team can resolve it before the drawings are issued.

Commercial interiors need demolition plans, new partition plans, ceiling plans, finish plans and furniture layouts. Multifamily projects need typical unit plans, building plans and enlarged plans for kitchens, baths and stairs. Industrial and warehouse projects need site plans, equipment layouts and structural framing plans. Residential work needs house plans, elevations, roof plans and framing details.

Many drafting jobs start with a hand sketch or a quick markup. We turn it into a measured, layered CAD drawing, place it on a sheet with the right scale, title block and notes, and send it back for review. Questions about unclear dimensions or details come back with the first draft, so you can answer them in one round instead of several.

Drafting is steady, detailed work that pulls designers and engineers away from higher-value tasks. When drawing production is outsourced, your staff can focus on design decisions, client meetings and coordination, while drawings are produced in parallel. It also gives you flexible capacity: you can send more work during busy bid seasons and less when things are quiet, without changing your headcount.

Clear standards and a short scope review at the start are what make outsourcing work, so we agree on both before the first sheet is drawn.
