Outsourced CAD drafting

A CAD drafting company your team can outsource to.

Engineering firms, builders and manufacturers outsource CAD drafting to us when their own team is at capacity or when a project needs drawings faster than in-house resources allow. We work as an extension of your team: you keep design control, and we deliver drawings to your templates, layers and naming conventions.

How outsourcing works

We agree the drawing list, review milestones and programme in a quotation, draft the package, issue it for your review and close out comments. You get editable DWG, Revit or SolidWorks files plus PDF sets, with revisions clearly identified.

Frequently asked questions

CAD Drafting:
your questions answered.

What does a CAD drafting service include?

CAD drafting can include 2D technical drawings, construction documentation, engineering layouts, 3D models, as-built drawings and conversion of PDFs or sketches into editable CAD files. The deliverables depend on your project scope.

Can you convert PDFs and hand sketches into CAD drawings?

Yes. SolidCAD provides CAD conversion from PDFs, scanned images and hand sketches. Share your source documents and any verified dimensions so the team can define the drawing requirements.

Do you support outsourced drafting teams?

SolidCAD offers support for individual projects and dedicated drafting teams. The arrangement can be tailored to your engineering workflow, drawing standards and review process.

Do you provide CAD drafting across Australia?

SolidCAD is based in Dandenong, Melbourne, and supports engineering, construction and manufacturing projects across Australia.

How is a CAD drafting quotation prepared?

The quotation depends on the source documents, drawing count, level of detail, output formats and review requirements. Include your existing files, verified dimensions, required drawing list and target dates. We review that information before agreeing the scope and fee.

Which drawing file formats should I request?

Tell us whether you need editable CAD files such as DWG or DXF, PDF drawing sheets or 3D model data. We confirm the compatible software, file versions and agreed deliverables when reviewing your project.

What affects the drafting turnaround?

Drawing complexity, the quality of the source information, missing dimensions and review milestones affect the programme. Share your required issue date with the enquiry so the team can confirm a suitable schedule before work starts.

What is the difference between CAD drafting and shop drawings?

CAD drafting documents the supplied design in plans, elevations, sections or models. Shop drawings develop the fabrication or installation detail needed for a defined package, including member identification, assembly dimensions and coordination information. Structural steel detailing is the steel-specific part of that documentation.
