What our AutoCAD design services include
Some design problems are solved best directly in AutoCAD: how many desks fit an office floor, how racking and aisles work in a warehouse, how equipment is arranged around a production line, or how fixtures are set out in a retail store. We develop these layouts with you, testing options against clearances, codes and workflows.
The second part of the service is about your own team. A well-built AutoCAD template with layers, styles and dynamic blocks can save hours per project. We build DWT templates, dynamic block libraries (doors, windows, furniture, equipment), tool palettes, sheet set templates and plot styles to your standard – and document them so new staff can follow.
For straightforward drafting from sketches or redlines, see AutoCAD drawing services. For layouts that become full fit-out drawings, see commercial design services.

AutoCAD Design Services standards in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia
We set up every project on the standard of the country where it will be built or manufactured. These are the references we work to most often:
| Country | Standards and codes we draft AutoCAD design services to |
|---|---|
| USA | IBC occupancy and egress awareness for layouts, NFPA 13 clearances under sprinklers, ANSI MH16.1 racking references |
| UK | Building Regulations Part B means of escape awareness, SEMA rack guidance references, BS 1192 layer naming |
| Canada | NBC 2020 egress awareness, CSA A344 steel storage racks references |
| Australia | NCC egress awareness, AS 4084 steel storage racking references, AS 1100 conventions |
How our AutoCAD design services process works
- 1Send your files
Upload sketches, PDFs, markups, photos, scans or a model through the quote form. Tell us the standard (US, UK, Canada or Australia) and the deadline.
- 2Fixed quote in hours
We review the scope and reply with a fixed price, the deliverables list and a delivery date. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 3Drafting & modeling
Your project is drawn in AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks or the software you use, on your title block, layers and templates.
- 4QA check
A second drafter checks dimensions, annotations, layer standards, sheet numbering and cross-references against your input before anything is sent.
- 5Delivery & revisions
You receive native files plus PDFs. Comments come back as markups and we revise them quickly until the set matches the brief.
Turnaround and pricing
A test-fit layout with two options takes 2–4 business days; a full template and block library project takes 1–2 weeks. Every job is priced as a fixed quote after we review your files, so you know the cost and the delivery date before work starts. See how our pricing works, or send your files through the quote form for a quick estimate.
