Why Outsource CAD Drafting in Massachusetts?
Having a full-time, in-house drafting department can be a costly overhead, especially in Massachusetts, where building codes, zoning laws, and project scopes can change rapidly. Salaries, onboarding, training, software licensing, and unexpected rework can significantly impact your budget and consume precious time, especially when schedules are already tight. This is where outsourcing your CAD drafting can be a game-changer.
At CAD Drafters, we provide access to a dedicated group of certified CAD professionals who understand the nuances of construction in Massachusetts, whether it involves a complex multi-use infill project in downtown Boston or obtaining a permit for FEMA flood zone development on the Cape. We stay up-to-date with the constantly changing local building codes, prohibited historical preservation rules, and external requirements for city and state construction projects, so you can focus on what you do best: designing.
Instead of spending time scrambling to onboard new staff or relying on your existing staff who are already overworked, you now have access to qualified drafters who use some of the latest CAD software and work processes to deliver drawings to your specification, which are set up for permitting and vetted for permit approval the first time.
