Can I outsource mechanical drafting to Drafting Buddies?

Yes. We work as an extension of your team on a per-project or ongoing basis, drafting from sketches, redlines, PDFs, or scanned field notes in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or SolidWorks.

Do you provide mechanical shop drawings for fabrication?

Yes, we produce fabrication-ready mechanical shop drawings for ductwork, piping spools, and sheet metal assemblies, dimensioned and detailed for shop use.

Do you handle mechanical BIM and Revit MEP modeling?

Yes. We build LOD 300-400 mechanical BIM models and run multi-trade clash detection in Navisworks to resolve conflicts before construction.

Which states do you serve?

Drafting Buddies provides mechanical drafting services across all 50 US states from our Austin, Texas base, established in 2014.

Mechanical Drafting Services | 2D & 3D CAD Experts

Mechanical Drafting?

Mechanical drafting services translate engineering intent into buildable documentation - HVAC drafting, piping and plumbing layouts, mechanical equipment placement, and sheet metal fabrication drawings that installers and inspectors can rely on. Whether you need mechanical CAD drafting for a single mechanical room or full mechanical design drafting across a multi-building campus, our drafters produce clean, dimensioned, code-referenced drawings in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, and SolidWorks.

As a mechanical drafting company serving general contractors, MEP engineers, HVAC installers, sheet metal fabricators, and architecture firms nationwide, Drafting Buddies handles mechanical detailing services at any scale - from mechanical permit drawings and mechanical as-built drawings to full mechanical BIM modeling and clash-detected coordination sets. Every mechanical drawing service we deliver is checked for constructability before it reaches your desk.
