Hire the Best Drafters
in South Africa

I am a freelance AutoCAD drafter with over 15 years of drafting experience, specialising in accurate 2D CAD drawings, layouts, and technical drawings for clients worldwide. Based in Pretoria, South Africa, I hold a Diploma in Architectural Draughting & AutoCAD. I help clients convert sketches, PDFs, marked-up plans, and existing drawings into clean, professional AutoCAD drawings that are easy to review, edit, and use. My experience includes: • AutoCAD drafting and redraws • Site plans and layout drawings • Retail and shopfitting layouts • Office and workspace layouts • Warehouse and racking layouts • Parking plans and lease exhibits • Telecommunications drawings • Technical detail drawings • PDF to AutoCAD conversions • Sketch to AutoCAD conversions • As-built drawing updates I work primarily in AutoCAD and provide organised DWG and PDF files with clear layers, accurate dimensions, and professional presentation. I do not provide professional architectural certification or permit approval services. Drawings are produced for drafting, planning, coordination, concept, and documentation purposes. I focus on clear communication, attention to detail, and delivering accurate drawings with reliable turnaround times.

Clients hire me when they need more than a design file — they need a product that’s manufacturable, elegant, and backed by 15+ years of proven results. With nearly 600 projects completed, Top Rated Plus status for 5+ years, a 100% job success score, and hundreds of 5-star reviews, I bring a track record to deliver confidently. With 20+ years in industrial design and engineering, I specialize in Furniture Design, Medical Products, and Pet Industry products aligned with international standards. My unique edge: a strong foundation in manufacturing techniques combined with materials mastery, giving you a “no-gap” solution where design, function, and compliance meet seamlessly. Deep Knowledge of the Full Development Cycle - Research & Benchmarking – Competitive teardown analysis, materials research, ergonomics, cost implications. - Concept Design – Sketches, ideation, and form factor optimization tuned for user experience. - CAD Modeling & DFM – 3D assemblies, full DFA/DFM practices to ensure scalable manufacturing. - Engineering for Compliance – Parts engineered to last. - Rapid Prototyping – 3D printing, CNC machining, Wood and Metal Fabrication Drawings - Production Support – BOM management, supplier liaison, tolerance analysis, and full production packs ready for manufacturing partners. This end-to-end fluency means you won’t have to juggle multiple freelancers or worry about knowledge gaps. My portfolio includes contributions to high-profile products: - Many furniture solutions for Ukhuni, South Africa - Various medical products for Vive, USA - Over 50 projects specific to the Pet Industry When you work with me, your idea isn’t just designed - it’s engineered for success.

I do 3D mechanical CAD drawings and designs with sheet metal as a specialty and have 45+ years of experience in this field. I focus on mechanical- and sheet metal engineering drawings and designs. (Laser cutting, CNC bending and welding of mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel) All the knowledge from my previous business, which I sold after 25 years, I apply in the drafting for my clients. You got not only an excellent CAD drafter, but also one with practical experience in the mechanical and sheet metal industry. My CAD experience is from large installations for the breweries, fishing- and salt industry, grain handling, oil- and coal industry and military defence force to the single component of mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. I am more than willing to assist the client with an alternative solution due to budget constraints or practical reasons. I also help companies to set up a drafting office and train staff in AutoCad Inventor. (Especially focus on the practical aspect for production drawings and especially designs) The modern technique of laser cutting and CNC bending changed and altered the drafting standards and designs over the years Please feel free to contact me for any additional info or advice.
