Our CAD Services Include

Scan to 3D CAD Conversion Services

3D Scans to CAD Conversion results in the most detailed and informative CAD models. Our experts use laser scanners to capture the interiors, exteriors, and machinery of a facility to create high-resolution point clouds. The data from these point clouds is then used to create CAD models. Our team of experts, who specialize in scanning, design, drafting, and data analysis, bring a wealth of experience to cater to your specific needs in the AEC and Manufacturing industries.

Architectural Drafting Services

Improve construction efficiency with error-free, quality architectural drafting services. Relying on legacy models can lead to data inaccuracy, causing errors in material orders and delays in construction. Our drafting teams ensure work is technically accurate and presentation-ready to enhance approval processes and keep your budget and timeline on track.

2D CAD Services

Our 2D CAD services provide our clients with accurate, curated solutions to meet their specific objectives through digitization and optimization of building design options. We help a wide range of customers in various fields including mechanical engineering, architectural, civil, and structural engineering with modern tools and efficient technologies. Our highly experienced team specializes in all aspects of 2D drafting and drawing. We offer a wider variety of 2D services crafted to your specific needs.

PDF to CAD Conversion Services

PDF to CAD File Conversion is a process by which we utilize simple blueprints, TIFFS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, and other readable source data files to create editable CAD Drawings. This allows engineers, architects, and other professionals to edit and modify the design data in the CAD file, and use it for further design and construction processes.

2D As-Built Documentation Services

Whether from laser scans or redline markups we can handle all 2D As-built services. Plan views, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, mechanical and electrical plans and details, furniture plans, site plans can all be generated by our highly experienced staff of 2D drafters.

3D As-Built Documentation Services

Similar to 2D As-Built documentation, 3D As-Built Modeling Services are also carried out after a project's completion. However, 3D As-Built documentation provides a 3D BIM or CAD model of your structures and exterior areas. This advanced documentation method provides additional benefits such as improved maintenance capabilities in MEP, renovation potential in BIM, and the ability for virtual walkthroughs of the space using VR/AR technology.

3D Modeling Services

3D modeling services involve creating digital representations of physical objects or structures using specialized software for various industries like architecture, engineering, product design, and animation. The process includes creating a wireframe, refining it, adding textures and visual effects to create a realistic 3D model. These models can be used for visualization, simulation, analysis, and prototyping.

Onsite CAD Support Services

This service will bring our experienced teams to your location, on-site! With a more hands-on approach to our CAD Services, we will guide you through learning any CAD software and implement it into your workflows. From Autodesk, to Revit, to Solidworks, and beyond, trust in our knowledge and experience to bring your organization up to par to handle any CAD need within your own team.

Frequently Asked Questions in CAD Services

What is Computer-Aided Design?

CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, is the utilization of software to aid in drafting and design processes. This technology is used to lower production costs, create efficient workflows, save time, lower the learning curve, and produce more high-quality and verified result diagrams and models. There are a variety of options for CAD software that cater to specific industry needs, from product design, industrial manufacturing process design, to structural design and architecture.

What is a CAD Service?

CAD Services are any task related to computer-aided design that a consultancy or design firm performs. Typically, these services are outsourced to the aforementioned mentioned consultancies and firms on an on-going basis, unless the inquiring organization intends to have an individual or team on-staff that performs these same tasks. Consultancies such as PMI not only perform CAD Services, but also can teach and mentor clients to perform these same tasks independently. CAD Services can range from document conversion, 2D and 3D drafting, translation for different file types, and beyond!

How much do CAD Services cost? How much does it cost to get a CAD Drawing done?

Have peace of mind that CAD Services are affordable and easily added to your a scope of work for new and existing construction projects due to their high value for stakeholders. However, rates can vary from consultancy to freelancers, often depending on their experience, education, location, type of CAD Service needed, and as always, scope adjustments increasing costs. Experienced firms like PMI have the knowledge and expertise to uphold strong standards across various regions and code law requirements. The simplest answer is $100/hour+ but it holistically depends on your specific needs.

What is 3D CAD Modeling?

3D CAD Modeling utilizes Computer-aided Design Tools and Software to assist in creating designs in architecture and manufacturing to further manipulate and analyze opportunities or flaws during the design process to optimize spaces, products, and processes. 3D CAD goes beyond 2D CAD document conversion and as-built documentation to provide opportunities that simulate real environments. 3D CAD Models can be used for Virtual Reality applications, MEP and maintenance, and help mitigate errors that otherwise may go unseen in traditional modeling techniques.

Related Service: Building Information Modeling

Building Information Modeling (BIM) services are a digital representation of a building or structure that allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to design, plan, and manage the construction process in a virtual environment. BIM services can help improve the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings by providing a more detailed and accurate representation of the building and its systems, allowing for better collaboration, and reducing errors and rework.
