We understand the pain points of drafting in the architectural millwork industry because we’ve been there. The shortage of skilled local drafters puts immense pressure on the ones you have, leading to long hours, rushed work, mistakes, and ultimately, burnout. This only exacerbates the problem as more drafters leave the industry.
Without a fully-staffed drafting team, your production is severely hampered. You can win and install work but struggle to get the designs done quickly enough. Local recruiters often can’t find good drafters because they simply don’t exist in your area.
Outsourcing to overseas firms presents challenges with quality, capabilities, software proficiency, industry knowledge, and time zone differences. These firms might be good for quoting jobs, but your in-house drafters often have to redo their designs for production.
Our ideal relationship involves placing one or more drafters onto your design team.
These drafters work full-time for your company, just like remote employees, handling multiple projects. They get to know your processes, automation equipment, and capabilities in-depth. Using your software, such as Microvellum or Cabinet Vision, they work in your time zone and integrate seamlessly as members of your team.
We can scale this engagement by adding additional drafters to your team as needed.
We offer two types of engagements to suit your needs. We begin all new relationships with a project-based engagement to get to know each other better and ensure a good fit for a long-term partnership.
These engagements are exactly as they sound –project-by-project. Here’s what to expect:
Each project is quoted separately, ensuring no surprises and no long-term commitment. Our team can typically handle multiple projects for you simultaneously.
