Gone are the days of large drafting teams with every member on a monthly salary. In these days of erratic, uncertain workflows, the most cost-efficient drafting expenditure is 'pay only for what you get' --- which translates to pay per drawing or per hour..
During a period when no drafting work is required, your expense is zero.
Our prices are amongst the lowest in the industry, as you can see on our Pricing page. The main reason is that the cost of skilled tech labor is much less in our part of the world than it is in the Western hemisphere and Oceania.
But low prices by no means imply low quality (see our testimonials below).
Our drafting expertise covers an incredible range of engineering and architectural subjects, from aircraft carriers to simple floor plans.
There will be no need to teach us the intricacies of your particular requirement, since chances are we have worked on an exactly similar project multiple times earlier.
Tired of having to remind drafting partners to reply to your messages? That won't happen with us --- we have a strict protocol that every message has to be replied to within 24 hours.
We always ensure we have many spare drafters ready to jump in at an hour's notice. They are trained in the most complex subjects we work on, so they can pitch in immediately. As a result there will be no breaks in your work because a drafter is sick or otherwise unavoidably absent. Can your in-house team work like this?
Here are just a few samples of the kind of appreciation we receive from customers. To see more, send us a request and we will respond with a link to a page full of them 😊

The following base rates have been used for determining the pricing models described below:
2D Drafting: USD 12 per hour
3D Drafting: USD 18 per hour
Any design work or complex calculations that we may need to perform will be billed extra.
We currently have four pricing models:
In this model, you decide how many hours of work you want to buy, make payment for them, then send over your files with instructions. Your work starts once this information is received.
We work on your assignment for the number of hours purchased and send you the output. There is no requirement to complete an entire drawing in one go.
This model works well if you would like to break your assignment into chunks, and buy a chunk when funds are available.
Two hours is the minimum purchase under this model, and you can buy hours of 2D or 3D drafting here:
Buy 2D Hours
We will work on your 2D drafting project for the hours you buy and send the output to you.
Buy 3D Hours
We will work on your 3D drafting project for the hours you buy and send the output to you.
In this model, you send us your input information, we estimate the work it would take to complete the project and quote you accordingly. We agree on a price, you pay us a deposit and the work begins. You pay the balance when the assignment is over.
The advantage is that the price of the assignment is defined, a definite benefit to your overall financial planning.
Our minimum charge for an assignment is USD 24.
The following prices are for sheets with an average density of detail:
| Sheet Size | Price Per Sheet |
|---|---|
| A(9" x 12") | US $40 |
| B(12" x 18") | US $60 |
| C(18" x 24") | US $80 |
| D(24" x 36") | US $100 |
| E1(30" x 42") | US $120 |
| E(36" x 48") | US $150 |
| Sheet Size | Price Per Sheet |
|---|---|
| A4(210mm x 297mm) | US $40 |
| A3(297mm x 420mm) | US $60 |
| A2(420mm x 594mm) | US $80 |
| A1(594mm x 841mm) | US $100 |
| A0(841mm x 1189mm) | US $120 |
If extensive calculations or references are required to define the final output, that time will be at extra cost.
For nonstop assignments over many months, this works out cheaper.
Salary for the month:
| Type of Professional | US$ per month |
| Engineer (Bachelor's degree) | $1600 |
| Architect | $1800 |
| Drafting Supervisor | $780 |
| Drafter (3D) | $650 |
| Drafter (2D) | $450 |

Of course you are, unless you have come recommended by a close friend who is a customer.
Here's how you can minimize it:
The catch here is that every business has lean periods when there is not much drafting to do. But do you have to pay salaries nonetheless? YES OF COURSE.
Clients who are outsourcing their drafting to us do not need a posse of drafters and the space they need. HUGE SAVINGS IN RENT!
You're talking upwards of $1,000 for a machine capable of handling large CAD files, and for software, MORE THAN $500 for even the most basic collection of CAD programs.
That's $1,500 PER SEAT!
Power costs money, and you need power for computers, for lighting, for heating and cooling. Do you enjoy paying those bills each month?
A design project is in full swing with a tight completion deadline. The key drafter has to be away for personal reasons or illness and cannot defer the absence.
Your drafting team needs to learn to use a new drafting platform. It takes time to learn which commands to use. This can take many frustrating months, depending on the complexity of the platform.
Your Drafters keep leaving for greener pastures. Typically you only know at the last moment when someone wants to leave.

We organize teams to work in specific areas. We organize them on three bases; based on expertise in a particular CAD program, based on the assignments of a particular customer and based on the inflow of one-off, short assignments.
Regardless of the purpose of the team, its structure will be similar to that shown in the adjecent diagram. As can be observed from the diagram, work is checked at several levels by team members with increasing levels of expertise and responsibility, ensuring the high degree of accuracy our customers have come to expect from us.
