BUILT FOR PROFESSIONAL TEAMS
Who we support
- Architects and architectural practices needing additional drawing production capacity.
- Structural and civil engineers requiring drafting support based on engineer supplied information.
- MEP consultants and contractors producing building services drawings and record documentation.
- Main contractors and subcontractors needing drawing updates, coordination information and as built documentation.
- Developers and construction companies with one off or recurring CAD requirements.
- Fabricators and specialist contractors requiring detailed CAD documentation from supplied design information.
FLEXIBLE CAPACITY
Why outsource CAD drafting?
Drawing demand can increase quickly during tender periods, design development, coordination, construction and handover. Outsourced CAD drafting provides additional production capacity without requiring permanent recruitment for every workload peak.
- Increase drafting capacity during busy periods
- Reduce drawing backlogs
- Support short project deadlines
- Convert legacy information into editable CAD
- Keep internal technical staff focused on design and project management
- Scale resource according to project demand
QUALITY CONTROL
Clear requirements first. Consistent drawing checks before issue.
Before drafting begins, we establish the available information, required outputs and project specific drawing requirements. The level of checking depends on the scope and source information supplied.
- Drawing completeness
- Dimensions and annotations
- Layer organisation
- Title block information
- Drawing references
- File naming and drawing numbering
- Client supplied CAD standards
- Requested revisions and markups
CAD drafting support does not replace the responsibilities of appointed designers, engineers or other responsible professionals. Design approval remains with the appropriately appointed project parties.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
100+ PDF drawings converted into editable CAD within a six week programme
This UK facilities management assignment required a large legacy drawing set to be converted into structured CAD files for future use and updating.
