From construction documentation to strategic and advanced planning, our civil drafting professionals ensure your project is drafted accurately, meets industry best practices, local codes and client objectives. We help architects, engineers, and contractors prepare clear, compliant, and confidence driven civil designs for commercial, residential, industrial, or public infrastructure projects.

Construction Drawings and Documentation

We produce construction drawings in detail, ready for project execution. Our technicians will ensure each drawing includes precise dimensions, materials, grading, and site-specific layout plans. These documents become highly useful to contractors and site managers for getting as close to seamless execution of their area of responsibility while on site.2.

Site Development Plans

We write site development plans which encompass grading, drainage, utility layout, parking lots, and landscaping. Site development plans create an overall picture of the entire site so that surveyors, environmental engineers, and city planning departments coordinate effectively through the approval and execution stages.

Grading and Drainage Plans

Grading and drainage plans manage surface water runoff and heavy precipitation from flooding and erosion. Grading plans identify existing and proposed elevations; how the slopes will be formed; how the surface drainage will relieve the water; help fulfill local government requirements and reduce vulnerability to environmental risks.

Stormwater Management Plans

Stormwater Management is integral to our services. Stormwater services commonly utilized include detention basins, underground stormwater retention systems, bioswales made of soil and grass, and green infrastructure solutions. Rest assured that our engineers and stormwater management specialists have up to date drainage schematics, pipe sizing, and other compliance calculations with the EPA and LEED requirements or methods, which our structural plans utilize as well as municipalities approach or resource management mapping methods and guidelines.

Utility Drafting Services

Utility mapping and drafting up include water, sewer, gas, and electric systems mapping with horizontal and vertical alignments to allowable depths. Our utility CAD plans support local utility providers behind the scenes by standardizing all of the offered providers and providing features that will lead a provider to maximum develop clash-free infrastructure when improving, renewing, installing, or verifying utility infrastructure.

CAD Roadway and Highway Design Drafting

CAD Drafters offer roadway design drafting services primarily, by supporting roadway engineers with plan and profiles sheet, cross sections, etc., traffic control layout, as well as right -of-way and other precision highway and roadway method work. We follow the guidelines provided by AASHTO, DOT, and each city’s specific requirements and scale of precision roadway and highway drafting services.

Subdivision Drafting

Our subdivision drafting services help land planners and developers comply with local zoning and permitting processes.

Earthwork and Cut-Fill Calculations

Proficient calculation, produces an ideal site balance and minimizes site haul costs, which is beneficial, both financially and environmentally.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCP)

Our drafting team works individually or collectively to prepare erosion control plans, including silt fencing, sediment basins, stabilization methods and best management practices (BMPs).

Drafting of Retaining Across Landscape and Slope Protection

We provide complete drafting to exacting dimensions for structural and landscape retaining walls with details provided for materials, reinforcement placements, drainage and cross sections. Whether the intention is hillside development or road cut protection, our drawings will demonstrate structural integrity, superb professionalism, and accident free outcomes.

Civil 3D Drafting and Modeling

Our drafting technicians utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D for inward intelligent models. We use the power of Civil 3D for terrain modeling, Pipe Networks design, grading surfaces, Corridor modeling, Risk assessments and other in project simulation. Clients are allowed to establish real world conditions, risk of clash, angle risk and make proper decisions early within the conceptual design.

As-Built and Record Drawing Drafting

Our drafting professionals create best efforts to provide clear and accurate as-builts that record all revisions from the original plan once constructed. Accurate best as-builts are required for future renovations or facilities inspections and even for permit renewal because it is always accepted that the facility owner or recipients will use this point of reference!

Why Freelance Civil Engineering Services can make sense

Freelancing is probably the most flexible way to hire a civil drafter. There are several drawbacks to hiring a drafter full time, even for short-range or peaks of projects, because you are paying for salaried/or hourly work that may not be used all that much while they work on a specialized task/ project. a freelance civil engineer gives you what you need, when you need it and may cost a fraction of a permanent civil drafter for specialized tasks like grading plans, utility drafting, storm water management or subdivision layouts. This will help save your company from regular operational burden and still maintain the quality and accuracy your projects demand.
