CAD Outsourcing & Drafting Services
CAD outsourcing is the practice of delegating 2D drafting and drawing production to an external team that works as a white-label extension of your firm. Dedicated drafters produce architectural, structural, MEP, or civil drawings to your CAD standards and templates, giving you scalable capacity without hiring in-house staff.
Drafting workload rarely arrives evenly. Deadlines cluster, projects overlap, and hiring permanent drafters for peaks leaves cost stranded in the quiet months. CAD outsourcing gives you a flexible production layer instead: experienced drafters who plug into your workflow, follow your CAD standards, and turn markups and models into finished drawing sets so your in-house team stays focused on design and coordination.
Powerkh has delivered 400+ BIM and VDC projects for clients across the US, UK, and Europe, working as a white-label back office that clients present as their own. We draft to your layer standards, title blocks, and templates across architectural, structural, MEP, and civil disciplines, with dedicated drafters or overflow support as you need. Pricing is hourly with a free quote, an English-speaking team overlaps your working hours, and an NDA is available on request.

FAQ
What disciplines can you draft for?
We cover architectural, structural, MEP, and civil drafting from a single partner, so you can coordinate one team across trades. Whether you need one discipline or a full multi-trade set, we assign drafters experienced in that area and draft to your standards.
Will drafters follow our CAD standards?
Yes. Send your CAD template, layer naming, lineweights, text styles, and title blocks and we draft to that standard so drawings integrate directly into your set and can be issued under your own brand.
Can we get a dedicated drafter or just overflow help?
Both. We provide dedicated drafters assigned to your account for continuity on ongoing work, and short-term overflow support to absorb peak workload and hit deadlines. You can scale the arrangement up or down as demand changes.
How do we communicate and share files?
Our English-speaking team works 8:00 to 18:00 UTC+2, Monday to Friday, overlapping your hours for live coordination. We agree file exchange, naming, and review routines at the start, and an NDA is available on request.
How much does CAD outsourcing cost?
Powerkh uses hourly pricing. After reviewing your drafting scope, disciplines, and standards, we send a free quote with accurate hour estimates, and you pay only after we deliver the drawings.
