Architectural plans
Floor plans, elevations, sections, and details drawn to scale from sketches, field notes, or marked-up prints.
-
MEP drawings
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layouts coordinated against the architectural base with clean layer discipline.
-
Overlays
Trade overlays, demolition vs. new-work comparisons, and phased drawings on a shared reference base.
-
Plan editing & redlines
Revisions, redline pickups, and drawing cleanup on existing DWGs. Fast turnaround on markup rounds.

As-built & PDF to CAD
Scanned prints, PDFs, and field measurements rebuilt as accurate, fully editable vector CAD drawings.
-
Drawing cleanup
Layer, block, xref, and annotation cleanup on inherited files - consistent naming, purged clutter, sheets that plot right.

Title blocks & CAD standards
Title-block setup and firm-wide CAD-standard implementation - layers, styles, and sheet templates built once, reused everywhere.
-
Custom automation & integration programming
LISP and Python routines that automate repetitive AutoCAD tasks and integrate drawings with outside data and workflows.
-
Take-off automation & smart blocks
Custom smart blocks with dynamic attributes plus batch scripts for material take-offs and bulk drawing edits across sheet sets.

About
I'm Jay - an Autodesk Certified Professional in AutoCAD, drafting on a freelance basis out of Madison, Wisconsin. I work as overflow capacity for design firms and as the drafting arm for contractors and owners who don't keep one on staff.
The work is deliberately unglamorous: correct dimensions, disciplined layers and blocks, title blocks that match your standards, and sheet sets that a plan reviewer can follow without a phone call. If you have office CAD standards, I'll work inside them. If you don't, I'll use mine and keep them consistent.
Construction-document drafting performed under the direction and review of the client's licensed design professional.
