Service overview
Drawings and BIM Models Prepared to Your Standards
Our drafting team prepares 2D drawings in AutoCAD and 3D models in Autodesk Revit for contractors, architects, engineers and developers. We convert PDFs and scans to CAD, turn field markups into clean as-builts, and assemble permit sets that are ready for plan review.
For BIM projects we build Revit models at the level of development your project needs, for clash coordination, quantity extraction, visualization or facility management, and deliver native files your team can keep working in.

How we work
Our 5-Step Drafting Process
Clear communication and quality checks at every stage.
- 1
Send source files
Share PDFs, scans, sketches, photos, field notes or existing CAD files, plus your standards.
- 2
Scope & standards check
We confirm sheet count, scales, layers, title block and deadline before drafting begins.
- 3
Drafting
Drawings are prepared in AutoCAD or Revit, following your standards from the first sheet.
- 4
Internal QA
A senior drafter checks dimensions, annotations and sheet coordination before anything is sent.
- 5
Review & revisions
You review the set and send comments; we revise until the drawings are right.
