25+ years experience • Build-ready drawings • Fast turnaround Need shop drawings that build clean on the first try? I create fabrication-ready drawings and 3D models with zero guesswork. 25+ years in construction & metal/millwork means I draft how things get built. I turn rough sketches, concept notes or photos into detailed, build-ready deliverables that fabricators, carpenters and installers can use without confusion. I focus on clean dimensioning, proper callouts and smooth revision cycles to eliminate delays and surprises on the shop floor or job site. What I deliver: • Shop & fabrication drawings (DWG, DXF, PDF) • 2D drafting and 3D modeling for parts, assemblies & installations • Exploded views, BOMs & assembly instructions if needed • Conversion from PDF/sketch/photo to CAD with high accuracy Industries I support: • Custom metal fabrication and equipment • Cabinetry & millwork (residential + commercial) • Structural and architectural elements • Modular buildings and specialty installations If you need build-ready drawings and reliable communication, I’m your guy. Send your concept or sketch and I’ll take it from idea to installation. 25+ years in construction & metal/millwork means I draft how things get built. Typical turnaround: 2–3 business days for standard part drawings. Faster delivery available if needed. *Possible side effects: drawings that actually make sense, subcontractors asking “who did these?”, and dangerously smooth installations.
