US drafting, done overnight
Our working day runs while most of the US sleeps. A redline package sent at the end of your afternoon is usually waiting in your inbox the next morning. For larger projects, that rhythm gives you a full extra working shift every day without adding staff.
We draft to US conventions as a matter of course: imperial units in feet and inches, ARCH D (24×36 in) and ARCH E1 (30×42 in) sheets, US National CAD Standard layer names, and code references to the editions your jurisdiction has adopted – the IBC and IRC (2018, 2021 or 2024), the NEC (NFPA 70), the IPC or UPC, and the IECC or a state energy code.
State-specific work we handle regularly
- California: Title 24 energy compliance, CALGreen notes, ADU permit sets and solar plan sets.
- Texas, Florida and the Gulf coast: wind-load notes and details for high-wind zones; Florida product approval references on drawings.
- Snow-load states: roof and structural load notes for post-frame and barndominium projects.
- DOT and municipal work: civil drafting to state DOT CAD standards, including MicroStation/OpenRoads where required.
- Construction stormwater: SWPPP and erosion control plans under the EPA or state Construction General Permit.
Who seals the drawings?
US licensing rules are set by each state. We prepare drawings and calculations as a drafting and design-support team; where a stamp is required, the architect or professional engineer licensed in your state reviews and seals them. Many residential projects can be permitted by a building designer without a stamp – your building department confirms which applies.

How we work with clients in USA
- 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.
