Special Types Of 2D CAD Drafting Services We Provide
We cover several kinds of 2D drafting work that need clear measurements and strict code alignment. These include architectural plans, mechanical detailing, fabrication drawings, and the everyday construction sheets contractors depend on. Each uses exact inputs, standard formats, and project-matched LOD levels.
Architectural 2D Drafting
This includes floor plans, elevation views, and basic site layouts prepared to IBC or IRC rules. The drawings keep dimensions straightforward so architects and reviewers can verify details without guessing.
Fabrication & Shop Drawing Drafting
These drawings follow AISC and NISD requirements. They list cuts, welds, and mark numbers exactly as the shop needs them. No styling and just information that lets a fabricator produce parts with fewer revisions.
Site & Civil 2D Drafting
We produce grading sheets, simple utility paths, and horizontal control lines derived from survey data. Slopes, spot elevations, and boundary dimensions are marked clearly, which helps crews understand water flow directions and limits of disturbance before they bring equipment onto the site.
Construction Documentation Drafting
Plans, demo sheets, and other construction-phase drawings fall in this category. They record what must be built or removed, where it sits, and how it lines up with other work so crews don’t waste time sorting out unclear notes.
MEP Coordination Drafting
These sheets show routing for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical runs so trades don’t overlap in the ceiling or wall cavities. Dimensions, elevations, and clearance zones are marked plainly. The layouts follow IBC spacing rules and typical manufacturer bend-radius limits to avoid routing conflicts later
Structural 2D Drafting
We prepare framing plans, footing layouts, and connection callouts based on engineer-provided notes. The drawings use standard symbols from AISC and concrete detailing norms, so inspectors can track load paths without asking for clarifications. Everything is scaled tightly to prevent conflicting dimension strings.
As-Built 2D Drafting
For renovation or documentation jobs, we rebuild existing conditions from photos, field measurements, and scanner outputs. Walls, openings, and service points get redrawn exactly as they exist with no assumptions. Contractors often rely on these sheets to catch offsets and hidden irregularities before scheduling demolition.
Equipment Layout & Installation Drafting
Industrial and commercial spaces often need clear equipment placement drawings with anchoring points, service clearances, and access paths. We include manufacturer-specific spacing requirements, bolt patterns, and maintenance zones so installers don’t have to guess where machines actually fit.
Millwork & Cabinetry Drafting
These drawings show section cuts, hardware placements, reveals, and material notes for woodworking shops. The dimensions follow shop standards for tolerances, including face-frame thickness, hinge setbacks, and filler panel gaps. Builders use them to fabricate pieces without repeatedly checking sizes.
Here’s Why Our 2D Drafting Company Stands Out
Unlike other 2D drafting companies, CAD Drafters isn’t a “general” drafting shop. Most of our work comes from teams that need drawings corrected, cleaned, or rebuilt after previous drafts caused delays. After 2,500+ completed projects, we’ve tracked a clear pattern: clients saw an average 18–22% cost protection across their projects simply because coordinated 2D drawings prevented change orders and field mistakes. Our team works inside the rules of AISC, NISD, OSHA for steel; IBC and IRC for buildings; LOD 100–500 for model-based sheets. Nothing leaves our desk unless the dimensions, notes, and scale match the standards those codes expect. With a 1–2-day turnaround on most drawings and a 100% satisfaction rate, we’ve learned that precision pays off more than anything else.
Powerful 2D Drafting Benefits That Improve Every Project Phase
Less Rework and Fewer Site Errors
Each line, layer, and detail is drafted with absolute accuracy, ensuring your 2D drawings are precise, exact and conform fully to your original specifications and industry standards.
Faster Coordination With Engineers and Fabricators
Mechanical 2D drafting services integrate cleanly into engineering checks, equipment layouts, and shop workflows. The drawings slot into DWG or PDF review cycles without forcing teams to redo scaling or chase missing details.
Clear Documentation for Permits and Inspections
Architectural 2D drafting services help reviewers confirm structure, spacing, and safety requirements quickly. Inspectors see exactly what they need, and permit offices rarely ask for redraws when sheets follow the expected code format.

Two Of The Best Programs We Use For Freelance 2D Drafting Services
AutoCAD sits at the center of most of our 2D drafting work because it handles precise line-based detailing without slowing the review process. We use it for architectural 2D drafting services, mechanical layouts, redlines, and fast revisions. DWG exports remain clean, and scaling stays consistent across sheets, which helps engineers and permit reviewers avoid misreads. It’s also the easiest platform for clients who outsource 2D drafting services and need quick markups.

Autodesk Revit
Although Revit is known for BIM, it’s extremely effective for controlled 2D drafting when a project requires coordinated views tied to a single model. We generate plan sheets, sections, and detail callouts that stay linked to LOD 100–500 elements. This avoids mismatched updates and cuts down on rework. Revit also lets our 2D drafting firm deliver RVT or PDF sheets that line up exactly with structural, MEP, and architectural coordination needs.

Outsource 2D Drafting Services To Us
Outsourcing your drafting work to CAD Drafters removes the usual bottlenecks that slow teams down and cause budget overruns with delays. You hand us sketches, old plans, field photos, or marked PDFs. In turn, we convert everything into clean, code-aligned drawings. Our crew works in AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla, SolidWorks, and other platforms. So, the format is never a hurdle. Most architectural 2D drafts and mechanical 2D models are completed within a 1–2-day window, which keeps your schedule from drifting. We follow AISC, NISD, OSHA, IBC, and IRC rules on every project (no exceptions) so the drawings don’t create future headaches during review or inspection. With 20+ years in the industry and over 2,500 finished projects, the process is steady, predictable, and easier than maintaining in-house drafting capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do your 2D CAD drafting services cover?
We take sketches, PDFs, and old plans and turn them into usable DWG, RVT, or PDF sheets. That includes floor layouts, elevations, mechanical diagrams, and fabrication info. Everything is done according to codes like IBC, IRC, and AISC. You get files ready to use, nothing extra.
How quickly can your 2D Drafting Company finish work?
It depends on the project size. Small jobs often take 1–2 days. Big sets can take longer. Architectural and mechanical 2D drafts are handled at the same time when possible. Clients usually see usable sheets without repeated back-and-forths.
Why outsource 2D drafts instead of hiring in-house?
You avoid buying software or training someone. Outsource 2D models give you ready-to-use drawings when needed. You only pay for the work done. Our team knows codes, tolerances, and fabrication standards. There’s no slow ramp-up or idle staff. It’s just drawings delivered clean.
Can you handle projects needing both architectural and mechanical drawings?
Yes. Our 2D drafting firm can produce architectural 2D drafts like floor plans and elevations, and mechanical 2D models like assemblies or layouts. Everything is coordinated in one set so nothing clashes. You don’t have to merge different drawings yourself or fix mistakes later.
Do you offer Freelance 2D Drafting Services?
We do. These services work for small tasks or when you just need a few sheets. Send the files, we check the scope, and return drawings in DWG, PDF, or RVT. No long-term contracts, no software setup, just direct usable results.
