Good projects, stuck waiting on drawings.
Submission dates are fixed. CD production isn't. Every week a set sits unfinished, the whole project slips with it — and the client's patience goes with it.
At 4 wks backlog, overflow drafting can clear ~3 wks on a fixed scope.
Revit and CAD technicians are scarce. A $63K hire is really $101K after payroll, desk space, and software — and you still wait months to fill the seat.
/yr payroll + office + software
/yr fixed-scope est.
Est. $118K/yr saved vs. keeping 2 seats in-house.
Wrong layers. Wrong title blocks. Code requirements missed by someone who's never read your code. The cleanup ate the savings — and you swore never again.
At 35% redraw, you're paying twice. Standards-matched studio targets under 5%.
Documented QA passes, standards-matched drafting, and code-referenced deliverables mean fewer gaps before issue, fewer redline rounds, and less time fixing output that should have been right the first time.
3 fewer redlines Est. rounds saved — try a pilot scope first.
Cadeonn QA-checks every sheet before you sign — pilot scope lets you verify on real deliverables first.
BIM models carry your details, your standards, your client's project data. An NDA you can't enforce in the US or Canada — or that's tied to a vendor twelve time zones away — isn't protection. It's decoration.
100% protected We will provide NDA upon request.
