You send the design intent — a markup, a sketch, a PDF, field measurements. We send back clean, layered, production-ready CAD. No site visits, no stamping games, no hourly billing. Just drawings, on a date we commit to before you pay.
That distinction is the whole model. You own the design decisions and the professional responsibility. We own the production — the hours of clicking that turn your intent into clean, coordinated sheets.
Overflow production under your stamp. You direct, redline, and seal. We execute sheets to your standards so you take more work without hiring a drafter you'd have to keep busy in slow months.
You've got field measurements and a client waiting. We turn them into dimensioned as-builts and coordination drawings you can price and build from — and route to your own engineer if a stamp is needed.
Planning-stage drawings that let you get real contractor pricing and see the layout before you commit. Clearly scoped as concept documents — not a permit submittal.
Every one of these starts with information you already have. Nothing on this page needs us standing in your building.
You send a PDF, a scanned blueprint, or a photo of a paper drawing. We rebuild it as editable, properly layered DWG at true scale. The most common job we do, and the fastest.
You mark up a set. We execute every change with clean linework, correct layers, and consistent annotation, then return it revision-ready. Your judgment, our hours.
You measure or scan the space and send us the data. We produce dimensioned as-built floor plans, elevations, and sections. You control field accuracy; we handle the documentation.
Dimensioned layout studies for decks, pergolas, additions, and ADUs so you can visualize and get contractor pricing. Explicitly planning-stage documents, clearly labelled as not for construction.
Inherited files that don't match your office standards? We re-layer, restyle, and reformat to your template so everything downstream just works.
Loose drawings turned into a coordinated, numbered, cross-referenced sheet set with a consistent title block, ready for whoever signs it.
Flatten a 3D model into coordinated 2D sheets, or build a clean 3D model from your 2D plans for coordination and visualization.
Retainer capacity for firms with uneven workload. Your standards, your title block, your stamp — our drafters, billed as fixed monthly capacity instead of salary.
Four things. That's it. No mystery multipliers, no "depends on the project."
$165 for conversion and redlines, $245 for documentation we create, $365 for full production sets. Set by the job type, published openly.
Rate × sheets is your subtotal. Ten or more sheets earns 10% off, twenty or more earns 15% — applied automatically.
Clean scaled files take 10% off. A sketch or photos adds 25%, because we interpret and dimension instead of tracing. You control this one.
Standard is free. Priority adds 25%, rush adds 75% — you are buying queue position, not different drawings.
Notice what isn't on this list: your budget, your project's value, or how much you seem able to pay. The quote tool below runs exactly these four variables, shows you the arithmetic line by line, and gives everyone the same number for the same job.
Six questions. Fixed price and a committed delivery date, on screen, in under a minute.
Fixed price · committed delivery date
Quote this code when you send your files and nothing gets lost — it ties your upload to this exact quote, scope, and delivery date.
We'll email your fixed quote, the deliverables list, and an upload link so you can send the job right now.
Plenty of drafting shops stay vague here and let clients find out at the plan-check counter. That's how projects die. So, plainly:
Because we never travel and never carry professional liability on the design, our price is a fraction of what a full-service firm charges for the same hours of drafting — and our turnaround is measured in days, not weeks.
| Formats | Editable DWG source + print-ready PDF |
| Layers | Built to your CAD standard, or AIA default if you don't have one |
| Title block | Yours, applied to every sheet |
| Revisions | One full round included; extra rounds quoted up front |
| Ownership | Files are yours on final payment — no license games |
| Payment | 50% deposit to start, balance on delivery |
Upload whatever you have — DWG, PDF, scans, photos, a spreadsheet of measurements, or a marked-up print. If it's legible, we can work from it.
Scaled files beat unscaled. Written dimensions beat photos. A clear markup beats a phone call. Every step up in input quality moves your quote down.
The entire point is removing the wait between deciding and starting.
Configure above. Fixed price and delivery date on screen.
DWG, PDF, scans, photos, measurements, or a markup. 50% deposit starts the clock.
Delivered as layered DWG plus PDF. One revision round included.
Your engineer stamps if needed, or you use it for pricing and planning.
Missing dimension strings. No scale bar. An incomplete site plan. Undetailed connections. A title block that doesn't match the jurisdiction. Every one of these is a drafting failure, not a design failure — which means it was entirely avoidable.
If you draft in-house, this is worth eight minutes. If you outsource, it's a checklist for judging whoever you hire.
Price = rate per sheet × number of sheets, adjusted for what you send us and how fast you need it. That's the whole formula.
Fixed price, honored 30 days — no hourly billing
| Adjustment | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Clean CAD or scaled PDF | −10% | Nothing to reconstruct — fastest possible input |
| Written measurements | No change | The standard baseline |
| Scanned or unscaled drawing | +10% | We establish true scale before drafting |
| Sketch or photos only | +25% | We interpret and dimension rather than trace |
| 10–19 sheets | −10% | Volume — setup is amortized across more sheets |
| 20+ sheets | −15% | Volume |
| Priority (3–4 days) | +25% | Queue position |
| Rush (48 hours) | +75% | Someone works your job tonight |
| Extra revision round | +$250 | One round is included in every job |
Minimum job $275. Every quote is fixed for the scope shown and honored 30 days.
One Basic-equivalent set included every month, 48-hour redline turnaround, priority queue position, and locked overflow rates. We learn your CAD standards once and apply them permanently.

"We use them as overflow when our drafters are slammed. Files come back properly layered with our title block already on them, which is rarer than it should be. I seal them and move on."
"Sent a phone photo of a hand sketch Friday. Had layered DWG Tuesday. I run six jobs at a time and this removed me as the bottleneck."
"The quote tool is the whole reason I switched. I can price my own client the same hour instead of waiting two days to hear back."
The fastest way to judge a drafting partner is to make them prove it on your actual work. So do that — on us.
48-hour turnaround, one set per company
A marked-up PDF of your set with every issue circled and explained, plus a one-page summary of what would most likely get it kicked back. No sales call attached to it.
We'll reply with an upload link. One free review per company, returned inside 48 hours.
Not a list of features. The specific structural reasons the outcome is different.
| The Drafting Desk | Offshore drafting marketplaces | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting a quote | Fixed price in 60 seconds | Email a scope, wait 2–3 days |
| Who you get | The same drafter, who knows your standards | Whoever bids lowest that week |
| File quality | Your layers, your title block, every time | Unlayered DWG, generic title block |
| Plan-check rejection | Free correction + next set half price | Your problem and your invoice |
| Stamping | We never stamp, and we say so up front | Vague answers |
You keep the stamp, the standards, and the client relationship. We absorb the hours of production that currently make you the bottleneck.
If a building department kicks back a set because of a drafting error we made — missing dimensions, wrong scale, sloppy annotation — we correct it at no charge and your next set is 50% off. We carry the cost of our own mistakes, not you.
Upload files, measurements, or a markup. Fixed price, committed delivery date, files you own.
Drawings, measurements, photos, an inspection report, a marked-up plan — whatever you have. The code ties your files to this exact enquiry so nothing gets separated.
