If you use CAD to prepare your drawings you may find these tips helpful:
-Establish a Detail library. This is basically a collection of standard drawing files from which you make other drawings saving time and money. You won't be able to use it in all drawings but it should save you time on standard casework.
-Establish Graphic standards Make a CAD Manual where you specify your layers, dimension styles, text and borders to give all your drawings a professional look of consistency even though they were drawn by a team.
-Make empty page layouts It saves time in the end to plan how the pages will be ordered, the scale of the details and how they will reference to other drawings.
-Use online contract CAD staffing You can catch up with your drafting load by using CAD professionals on the web. You will probably get one right away. Quite often they are quicker with standard and modified casework because they invest in software tools to get the job done faster.
