Who We Are

New York CAD drafting for architects, engineers & contractors

Drafting Buddies is a New York-focused CAD drafting company working with architects, engineers, interior designers and contractors who need drawings produced, cleaned up, or converted - quickly and without errors that come back to bite the project later. Some clients send us a hand sketch and want a full CAD drafting service from scratch. Others send us an old paper drawing or a flat PDF and want it digitized into an editable, layered file they can actually work in.

We split our CAD drafting services in New York into a few clear categories - architectural, mechanical, interiors, AutoCAD production, and conversion or digitization work - so you're always talking to someone who understands exactly what your project needs, rather than a generalist trying to cover everything at once.

Most projects that come to us start as a flat plan and leave as a fully modeled, dimensioned CAD file - that 2D → 3D shift is where we spend most of our time.

What We Do

We Deliver Different Types of CAD Drafting Services in New York

No two of these are the same job - here's what's actually involved in each one.

01

2D + 3D

2D and 3D CAD Drafting Services New York

This is the core of what we do. A 2D CAD drafting set gives you precise, dimensioned drawings - plans, elevations, sections - for review, permitting or construction. A 3D CAD drafting model takes the same project further, building a model you can rotate, section and use to catch clashes before anything is built. Most clients start with one and add the other once they see how much a 3D model clarifies a design decision that a flat plan leaves ambiguous.

  • 2D CAD drafting services for construction-ready plans and details
  • 3D CAD drafting services for massing, visualization and coordination
  • Delivered in DWG, PDF or the format your team standardizes on
02

Architectural

Architectural CAD Drafting Services New York

Architectural CAD drafting covers the drawings a building project runs on - floor plans, elevations, sections and site plans, built to the dimensional accuracy a contractor or plan reviewer needs. We work from your sketches, an existing survey, or a prior drawing set, and produce a clean architectural CAD drafting set that's ready for the next stage, whether that's client presentation, permit submission or construction documentation.

  • Residential and commercial floor plan CAD drafting
  • Elevations, sections and site plan drafting
  • Permit-oriented construction CAD drawings
03

Mechanical

Mechanical CAD Drafting Services New York

Mechanical CAD drafting services handle the equipment, fixtures and fabricated components that don't fit neatly into an architectural drawing set - layouts for HVAC equipment, product components, or manufacturing parts that need to be dimensioned precisely enough for a fabricator to work from without guessing.

  • Equipment layout and mechanical component drawings
  • Product and manufacturing CAD drafting
  • Dimensioned parts ready for fabrication
04

Interiors

Interiors CAD Drafting Services New York

Interior CAD drafting is a different kind of precision - furniture layouts, millwork placement, finish schedules and reflected ceiling plans all have to agree with each other in the same file. We build interiors CAD drawings that interior designers and architects can hand straight to a contractor without a round of "wait, does this fit" questions.

  • Furniture and space-planning layouts
  • Millwork and finish coordination drawings
  • Reflected ceiling and lighting plan CAD
05

Conversion

2D to 3D CAD Conversion Services New York

If your project only exists as a flat 2D drawing right now, this is where we build it out into a 3D CAD model - useful when you need to visualize a space, check for clashes between systems, or hand a contractor something more useful than lines on a page. We work from your existing 2D CAD file, so nothing about the original design gets reinterpreted along the way.

  • 2D drawings rebuilt as accurate 3D CAD models
  • Clash checking between architectural, structural and MEP layers
  • Deliverables ready for visualization or coordination review
06

AutoCAD

AutoCAD Drafting Services New York

When a project simply needs clean, standards-compliant AutoCAD production - the right layers, the right line weights, the right block library - that's the service, without extra modeling or conversion work layered on top. This is the option most contractors and smaller firms reach for when they already know exactly what they need drawn.

  • Layer-managed, standards-compliant AutoCAD drawings
  • Redlines and revisions turned around fast
  • DWG delivery compatible with your existing files
07

Digitization

CAD Digitization Services New York

Old paper drawings, faded blueprints and scanned PDFs are hard to work with, harder to update, and impossible to search. CAD digitization takes that legacy material and rebuilds it as a clean, editable, layered CAD file - so the next revision doesn't mean redrawing the whole thing from scratch.

  • Scan-to-CAD conversion of paper and PDF drawings
  • Legacy drawing sets rebuilt into editable DWG files
  • Archival documentation brought up to current CAD standards
08

As-Built

Building Measurements Services New York

Sometimes there's no drawing to start from at all - just a building. Our building measurement service captures accurate as-built dimensions on site, which then become the foundation for a new CAD drawing set. This is common on renovation projects, older properties without reliable plans, or any job where the drawings on file no longer match what's actually built. See our as-built drawing services.

  • On-site measurement and as-built documentation
  • Foundation data for renovation and addition CAD drawings
  • Accurate baseline for projects with no existing plans

CAD & BIM Stack

Why Choose

Why Firms Hire & Outsource CAD Drafting in New York

Whether you need to hire CAD drafting for one New York project or fully outsource production as a standing arm of your team, the math tends to work out the same way.

  • Lower Overhead

    Skip the cost of a full-time in-house drafter. Affordable CAD drafting services New York scale up or down with your workload, without payroll, benefits, or software licensing overhead.

  • Faster Turnaround

    A dedicated online drafting team means drawings move through revisions in days, not weeks - critical when a NYC filing deadline or bid date is fixed.

  • Specialized Expertise

    Professional CAD drafting teams stay current on code changes, software updates, and BIM standards so you don't have to train and retain that expertise internally.

  • Overflow Capacity

    When your in-house team is buried, an outsourced drafting partner absorbs the overflow without you turning down new New York project intake.

  • Software Access

    Get AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks-level output without buying every license yourself - our drafting outsourcing already runs the full stack.

  • One Point of Contact

    A single drafting support team manages architectural, mechanical, and interiors drawings together, so nothing falls through the coordination gap.
