We deliver CAD drafting that drops cleanly into your existing workflow. Send us your sketches, scope, redlines, or markups — we send back drawings produced to your title block, your sheet conventions, and your firm standards. No code-translation overhead. No 12-hour offset. No re-drafting when work comes back.

What you get

Structural CAD drafting

Foundation plans, framing plans, elevations, sections, and detail sheets to AISC and IBC references. Coordinated with your EOR markups and design intent.

Mechanical CAD drafting

Mechanical layouts, equipment plans, piping, ductwork, and fabrication-ready drawings. Industrial, commercial, and process-piping work.

Architectural CAD drafting

Floor plans, RCPs, building elevations, sections, schedules, and detail sheets. From schematic design through CD-set production.

Residential CAD drafting

Single-family and multifamily residential drafting for homebuilders and architects. Permit-ready sheet sets at your firm conventions.

AutoCAD drawing services near you

Sonora is a drive from Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, and the Texas border. In-person collaboration when projects warrant it — no international flights required.

Production aligned to your conventions

Title blocks, sheet templates, layer standards, dimensioning conventions, and notation libraries — we work to your firm’s conventions or help you build them.

Our process

Four steps from your scope to clean, fabrication-ready files

Send your scope

Upload sketches, redlines, PDFs, or model files. Tell us your sheet conventions, deadlines, and any constraints we should know about.

Quote in 24-48h

Real number, real timeline, named team. If scope needs clarification, we book a discovery call the same week.

Production with QC

Senior drafter assigned. Internal QC pass before each milestone submittal. Same-day RFI resolution during your business hours.

Clean handoff

Final files delivered in your preferred format — DWG, DXF, PDF, IFC. Two revision rounds included by default.

Common questions

What buyers ask before sending us their first project

What CAD software does your team work in?

AutoCAD (full suite, including AutoCAD MEP and AutoCAD Architecture), Revit, BricsCAD, and Advance Steel for structural detailing. We deliver in DWG, DXF, PDF, IFC, and any native formats you specify.

How does pricing work for CAD drafting services?

We quote per project on a defined scope, not by the hour. For ongoing work, we offer dedicated capacity at fixed monthly rates. Most CAD drafting projects fall between 35 and 60 USD per hour equivalent — substantially below in-state U.S. drafters but with native English, same-time-zone communication, and senior-level QC.

Can you work to our existing CAD standards?

Yes. Send us your title block, sheet template, layer standards, dimensioning conventions, and notation libraries. We work to your firm conventions from the first sheet. If you do not have documented standards yet, we can help you build them.

How fast can you turn around a CAD drafting project?

Most defined-scope projects move from kickoff to first submittal within 5 to 10 business days, depending on size. Urgent projects can be expedited — tell us your deadline and we will tell you whether we can hit it before you commit.

Do you offer CAD drafting services near me in the U.S.?

We serve the entire United States from our office in Hermosillo, Sonora — a drive from Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, and the Texas border. Same time zone as Mountain Standard time year-round (no daylight saving), within an hour of Central time, and within two hours of Pacific time. For most U.S. firms, we feel like an in-state team.

What is the difference between CAD drafting and BIM modeling?

CAD drafting produces 2D drawings (plans, elevations, sections, details). BIM modeling produces a parametric 3D model with embedded data, from which 2D drawings can be extracted. We do both. CAD drafting is faster and lower cost when 2D documentation is the deliverable. BIM is the right choice when coordination across disciplines, quantity takeoffs, or downstream model use is needed.

Can you handle paper-to-CAD or scan-to-CAD conversion?

Yes — that is one of our most common engagements. We convert hand-drawn sketches, scanned drawings, PDFs, and point cloud scans into clean, editable CAD files at your firm conventions. See our dedicated CAD conversion services page for details.
