At Drafting Consultants, we’ve been in the drafting game long enough to know where most firms struggle. One thing we hear a lot is, “Should we handle our drafting in-house, or just outsource it?” Honestly, it depends on your team. However, many architects, engineers, and contractors find that outsourcing structural drafting services helps them avoid headaches and keeps their projects flowing.
It may seem from the drawings that drafting is a straightforward job, but those who have done it understand that it is very detailed. A tiny mistake can result in the whole construction being incorrect. This is the place where our intervention is needed. We take care of the detailed work, thus your team can be doing the work of designing, managing, and building, and not fixing the drawings.
Here’s the truth: trying to juggle drafting internally can slow things down. Your engineers and designers already have enough on their plates. Outsourcing to a team like ours means:
When you outsource, you’re not losing control. You’re getting someone who knows the ropes, works fast, and delivers quality drawings without the stress.
A lot of clients ask about structural steel detailing. And for good reason. These drawings are the backbone of any project that uses steel beams, columns, braces, and all of it. If there’s a mistake here, fabrication stalls, installation slows, and costs spike.
Our steel detailing team knows what to check and double-check. We handle:
Basically, we make sure the steel goes together like it’s supposed to, every time. You get drawings that fabricators can trust, engineers can approve, and project managers don’t have to chase.
Some firms hesitate to outsource because they’re worried about losing control. We get it. That’s why we work like an extension of your team, not an external vendor.
Our process is simple:
Throughout the process, we stay in touch. Questions, changes, tweaks, we handle it all without making you jump through hoops.
Outsourcing isn’t complicated. Here’s what most clients notice fast:
We’ve seen teams get stuck trying to do everything in-house. It’s stressful and slow. Let us handle the drawings. Your team handles the building.
Outsourcing works, but you want the right partner. Here’s what to look for:
Pick the right partner, and outsourcing becomes a tool, not a gamble.
