Vetted CAD drafters, dedicated to your firm
Top-tier CAD drafters producing construction documents, shop drawings, as-builts in AutoCAD and Revit for architectural, MEP, and structural engineering firms across the US.
— WHY OUTSOURCE CAD DRAFTING SERVICES
Three patterns we see over and over.
Your drafting queue is slowing down production
Every hour a PA spends drafting is an hour not spent on design, code review, or client coordination. A dedicated remote drafter takes that load off without adding a full-time salary.
Offshore drafting hasn't worked
Drawings came back formatted wrong, layers didn't match, and the back-and-forth took longer than doing it in-house. Our talent works your hours and stays assigned to your firm.
You need a drafter now, not in six weeks
A US-based drafter search takes weeks your current project doesn't have. We deliver a shortlist of vetted drafters in 7 to 10 business days, ready to start on day one.

— Architecture professionals
Meet our top architectural talent
Every architect, modeler, and drafter in our network has been vetted for technical proficiency, BIM workflow knowledge, English fluency, and the ability to integrate into your production process from day one.
— CAD DRAFTING TALENT PLACEMENT PROCESS
A better experience for AEC firms
We built this process specifically for architecture and engineering firms. No generic intake forms, no recruiter who doesn’t understand your industry.
Tell us what you need
We discuss your current project load, the AutoCAD version and file management platform you use, the types of drawings you need produced, and the standards your team works with.
We build your shortlist
We match you with two to three vetted drafters screened for your project type, software, and documentation standards. You receive profiles with experience summaries and drawing samples relevant to your work.
Interview and choose
Review their drawing samples. Ask how they handle a redline that contradicts the code, or how they manage a drawing set where the detail library is incomplete. If none are the right fit, we keep searching.
Seamless team integration
Your new drafter gets access to your templates, detail library, and file management platform. First day includes a walkthrough of your layer standards, sheet conventions, and current project status. Our CS team checks in regularly.

FAQs: know more about our CAD drafting services
Do they follow our layer standards and title block?
Yes. Your drafter works within your AutoCAD template, your layer naming conventions, your line weight standards, and your title block from day one. We recommend a brief onboarding session to walk through your standards. After that, they apply them consistently to every deliverable.
Can they work from redlines, PDFs, or field sketches?
Yes. Most drafting engagements involve working from redlined PDFs, field measurements, or sketch inputs. Our drafters are experienced interpreting markup, asking the right clarifying questions, and producing clean drawings from imperfect source material.
Can they produce permit-ready construction document sets?
Yes. Construction document production is the core deliverable for most of our drafting placements. Our drafters are experienced producing permit packages that meet IBC, ADA, and common local jurisdiction requirements, working under the direction of your licensed architects.
Do they understand US building codes and documentation standards?
Our drafters have exposure to IBC, ADA, and common local jurisdiction requirements. They work under the direction of your licensed architects and within your QA protocols. For code-specific review and sign-off, your in-house PAs and principals remain responsible.
How do you handle drawing quality and standard compliance?
Your drafter follows your layer standards, sheet conventions, and QA checklist, the same way you review work from any team member. For firms without a formal QA process, we can help you build a basic checklist during onboarding.
What types of projects have your drafters worked on?
Commercial, multi-family residential, single-family residential, institutional, hospitality, and mixed-use projects. During our initial call, we ask about your project type and scale and match you with drafters who have relevant experience.
What AutoCAD versions does your talent work with?
Our drafters are proficient across current AutoCAD versions, including AutoCAD LT. During screening, we confirm the exact version your firm uses and match accordingly. We also place drafters with Revit documentation experience for firms that use both platforms.
Can I start with one drafter and add more later?
Yes. Most firms start with one drafter on a specific project and expand from there. No minimum team sizes and no lock-in commitments.
What if the BIM manager isn't the right fit?
We replace them at no additional cost. If the communication style, technical approach, or working dynamic isn’t right, we find someone who fits better.
