Our capabilities can include:

Our objective is to provide production-ready digital documentation that follows the client's drawing standards, layer conventions, title blocks, annotation systems, scales, and file-format requirements.

CAD Drafting is the process of creating technical drawings using computer-aided design software. CAD allows drawings to be developed with precise geometry, dimensions, annotations, layers, blocks, references, and reusable components.

CAD drafting can support conceptual documentation, design development, permit drawings, construction documents, fabrication, installation, inspection, maintenance, and as-built records.

The CAD drafter's role can range from converting approved sketches into technical drawings to maintaining complex multidisciplinary drawing sets. Final engineering, architectural design decisions, code compliance, and professional certification remain with the responsible design professionals.

Our 2D CAD Drafting Services create precise plan-based technical drawings such as floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans, details, layouts, schematics, and construction documentation.

2D CAD drawings can include dimensions, notes, symbols, line types, hatches, blocks, schedules, references, and other project-specific information.

2D drafting is widely used for architectural, structural, civil, MEP, manufacturing, fabrication, and construction workflows.

Our 3D CAD Drafting Services support the development of three-dimensional models and digital representations of buildings, components, equipment, structures, and other approved project elements.

3D CAD models can help teams visualize geometry, review spatial relationships, coordinate components, and prepare downstream documentation.

Depending on the project, 3D CAD can support product modeling, mechanical components, architectural massing, structural elements, equipment, and fabrication documentation.

Our Architectural CAD Drafting services support floor plans, roof plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, site plans, interior layouts, exterior elevations, and construction documentation.

Architectural CAD drawings can be developed from sketches, PDFs, existing CAD files, field measurements, point clouds, photographs, BIM models, or approved architectural concepts.

Local California jurisdictions can require complete plan packages for permit review. For example, Contra Costa County states that many projects require architectural, structural, electrical, and often mechanical and plumbing plans, along with other details and calculations.

Our Structural CAD Drafting support documents approved structural engineering information such as foundation plans, framing plans, reinforcement details, structural sections, connection details, schedules, and structural layouts.

Structural CAD drawings help communicate the location, size, and relationships of structural members and components.

Structural calculations, analysis, design decisions, code compliance, and professional sealing remain the responsibility of the appropriately licensed structural engineer or other qualified professional.

Our Civil CAD Drafting services support site plans, grading plans, drainage plans, utility plans, roadway layouts, profiles, cross sections, stormwater plans, subdivision drawings, and other civil documentation.

Civil CAD drafting can incorporate survey data, contours, property boundaries, utility information, drainage features, roads, parking, landscape backgrounds, and approved engineering designs.

For transportation work, Caltrans maintains detailed CADD and plan-preparation standards covering drawing types, data levels, line styles, text, file formats, plotting, and as-built plans.

Our MEP CAD Drafting Services support mechanical, electrical, and plumbing documentation from approved engineering information.

Mechanical CAD can include HVAC layouts, ductwork, piping, equipment, diffusers, controls, and schedules. Electrical CAD can include lighting, power, panels, equipment connections, and electrical layouts. Plumbing CAD can include domestic water, sanitary, storm drainage, fixtures, and piping.

MEP drawings can be coordinated with architectural and structural backgrounds to support multidisciplinary construction documentation.

System sizing, engineering calculations, energy compliance, and professional certification remain the responsibility of the appropriate licensed design professional.

Our Mechanical CAD Drafting services support equipment layouts, mechanical components, HVAC drawings, piping layouts, assemblies, details, and manufacturing documentation.

Mechanical drafting can be prepared in 2D or 3D depending on the project's requirements.

We can work from engineering sketches, markups, specifications, existing CAD drawings, measurements, or approved 3D model information.

Our Electrical CAD Drafting support can document lighting layouts, power plans, single-line diagrams, panel layouts, equipment connections, cable routes, and other approved electrical information.

Electrical drawings can be coordinated with architectural backgrounds, equipment layouts, reflected ceiling plans, and other building systems.

Electrical engineering, load calculations, code compliance, and professional certification should be completed by the responsible electrical engineer or qualified professional.

Our Construction CAD Drafting services support construction plans, details, elevations, sections, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and as-built documentation.

CAD production can help convert approved design information into consistent drawing sheets for contractors and project teams.

California permit requirements vary by local jurisdiction. CSLB advises checking with the local building department to determine applicable requirements.

Our Engineering CAD Services support civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and other technical disciplines. We provide drafting and documentation capacity based on approved engineering information.

Engineering teams can use outsourced CAD production for overflow workloads, repetitive documentation, drawing updates, project deadlines, and large drawing packages.

Our workflow can follow client-specific layers, blocks, standards, templates, naming conventions, and sheet structures.

Our CAD Conversion Services convert existing drawings and source information into editable CAD documentation. This can include PDF-to-CAD, scanned drawing conversion, image-to-CAD reconstruction, old CAD cleanup, and format conversion.

Conversion quality depends on source resolution, scale, dimensions, distortion, and completeness. Where accuracy is critical, field verification may be required.

Converted CAD files can then be cleaned, layered, annotated, and formatted according to the client's standards.

Our PDF to CAD Conversion services recreate suitable architectural, engineering, civil, mechanical, electrical, or construction drawings as editable CAD files.

The workflow can include linework, dimensions, text, symbols, hatches, blocks, layers, and other visible drawing elements.

Scanned or raster PDFs may require additional manual reconstruction and verification compared with vector PDFs.

Our As-Built CAD Drawings document existing or final installed conditions based on approved field measurements, redlines, surveys, photographs, scans, construction records, or other reliable information.

As-built CAD documentation can support facility management, maintenance, future renovation, asset management, inspections, and project closeout.

Caltrans maintains specific CADD procedures for as-built plans within its project documentation standards.

Our CAD Drafting from Field Measurements service converts approved measurement data into digital drawings. This can be useful when existing CAD drawings are unavailable or outdated.

Field information can be provided as measurement sheets, sketches, photographs, survey data, laser scans, or point clouds.

The final drawing accuracy depends on the completeness and quality of the source field information.

Laser scanning and point-cloud technology can capture detailed existing conditions. Our Point Cloud to CAD Drafting support can use approved scan data to develop 2D CAD drawings or support 3D model documentation.

Point-cloud drafting is useful for existing buildings, industrial facilities, complex structures, renovation projects, and as-built documentation.

The required level of detail and accuracy should be established by the project team before production begins.

Our CAD Detailing Services develop detailed views of specific components and assemblies. Detailing can include structural connections, architectural assemblies, fabrication components, mechanical parts, millwork, doors and windows, stairs, railings, and other project-specific elements.

Details help communicate dimensions, materials, interfaces, installation relationships, and fabrication information.

Engineering calculations and final fabrication approval should be completed by the responsible professional or fabricator where required.

Our Shop Drawing CAD Services support fabrication and installation documentation for approved components. Applications can include structural steel, rebar, stairs, railings, curtain walls, millwork, doors, windows, equipment, and MEP components.

Shop drawings can include plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, dimensions, material references, and installation information.
