Para-CAD

Specialties

Para-​CAD is a full service professional drafting business that sets itself apart from other drafting services by creating documents that are drawn to ‘production-​level’ detail. In addition to typical drafting services, we provide a more in-​depth capability to create production drawings from over two decades of working in the wood-​framed construction industry.

«We do computer-​aided design at ‘production-​level’ detail.»

Our process can directly benefit a project’s bottom line by reducing completion time and can eliminate costly design errors by on-​site personnel having to «figure these things out» as they go.

Para-​CAD provides an offsite drafting solution to architects, engineers, builders, framers and home owners. Here are just a few examples how we can serve you:

— only pay for services you use.

— no employee-​related over-​head expenses or issues.

— like a paralegal is to a lawyer, we want to help with your drafting work so you are free to focus more on other aspects of your business.

— Save time and money and have superior results with Para-​CAD.

History

Established in 2015.

I’ve spent years building wood structures of all sizes and types across America and western Canada. I’m a former framing contractor with over 20 years experience and I primarily used AutoCAD during that time to create precise production and shop drawings of all the complex items on my projects. This served me well, as my on-​the-​jobsite time ‘figuring things out’ was greatly reduced and any mistakes became an extremely rare event. I’ve recently decided to offer my level of exacting experience to builders, architects, engineers and home owners with precision drafting services.

All work done by Para-​CAD is performed in the United States by US citizens. We do not outsource any work to other nations

Business Owner

I’m a former framing contractor with over 20 years experience and I primarily used AutoCAD during that time to create precise production and shop drawings of all the complex items on my projects.

Today, I use a combination of 2D and 3D applications to create drawings with «real world» accuracy. I’m an expert in hand-​cut roof systems. Therefore, I can provide completely dimensioned roof cut-​sheets, as part of your construction set, so that you can tackle more challenging projects with greater ease.

In summary, para-​CAD provides documents that are drawn as they will be built. From new home builds, additions and remodels, to anything requiring a technical set of drawings, I invite you to take a look around our website and see if para-​CAD can be of service to you. I feel confident that our services will be a valuable asset to you and your upcoming projects.

Respectfully,

Mike
