CAD DRAFTING & CONVERSIONS

  


We can produce CAD drawings from hand-drawn sketches, blueprints/ sepias/ mylars, bitmap (BMP) files, DXF files, etc. We are flexible and can use either your layering standards or our own. We work with all types of drawings- site plans, floor plans, elevations, details, survey maps, electrical/ HVAC/ process flow diagrams and more.

Our clients come from many professions, including architects, engineers, general contractors, real estate developers and facility managers.

 

Drawing Conversion Services -
Scanning/ Archiving - our scanning process produces compressed TIF (Tagged Image Format) files and are archived on cd for easy accessibility. Files can be converted to alternate formats (such as TIF, JPEG, or PDF).
Raster Editing - Scanned and then inserted into Cad, and scaled to appropriate size. We can then edit the raster image with our advanced software. Used for removing old notes and dimensions, showing existing and demo work along with the new layouts. Adding additional notes or details to sheets. Very good for retrieving parts of drawings or entire details for use in later projects. Customer would receive drawings in .DWG format unless otherwise specified. Customer could add additional information around and on the raster image but could not edit the image areas themselves.
Raster to Vector Conversions - Scanned and then inserted into Cad, scaled to appropriate size and digitized (traced). Less time costly compared to fully redrawn. Scaled features would be approximate locations usually within fractions of an inch and dimensions would be typed. Customer would receive drawings in .DWG format unless otherwise specified. Customer could then edit the entire drawing as needed.
Fully redrawn drawings - Not scanned, therefore dimensional accuracy is maintained. Items dimensioned are to exact scale - Highest quality. Customer would receive drawings in .DWG format unless otherwise specified. Customer could then edit the entire drawing as needed.
Other formats available are TIF, JPEG, or PDF's for all services.
File delivery via CD-ROM, FTP or E-mail
Final plots also available via FEDEX, US Mail or other courier.
PRICING
Although it is difficult to price a conversion without seeing the actual drawing, we have produced a cost table which provides approximate drawing cost. Discounts are available for large quantity projects.

Drafting Services - This is where the client provides electronic files in CAD.

Basic Drafting is where we receive electronic files and instructions on what to change. Instructions could either be verbal, hand written, or redlines on a hardcopy of the file.

Design Drafting is a more sophisticated service. This service includes tasks such as  Framing Layout, Elevation creations, and Detail Design including interior elevation composition and materials selections for all fields.
