Looking for an experienced Independent AutoCAD Drafting Contractor?
Considering an Outsource or Telecommute AutoCAD Drafter?
Let me introduce myself, my name is Gilbert Harper, but most folks just call me "Chip".
I provide AutoCAD Drafting and Customization services as an Independent AutoCAD Drafting Contractor to clients
throughout the United States and Canada.
I reside in
Hayesville, North Carolina (NC)
and I am a full time AutoCAD Draftsman, GearHead or
CAD Monkey
if you will.
If you visit the
AutoDesk Discussion Groups
you will find this "Tag" on the bottom of my older posts, "AutoDesk Discussion Group Facilitator".
* AutoDesk terminated the Discussion Group Facilitator Program on 04-29-2008.
Perhaps you just need an Freelance AutoCAD Drafter on a short term basis while you search for a new employee, just need some help
on a single project or don't have enough work to fill a full time position.
Maybe you are an Engineer or Architect and you don't want to spend time dealing with the software and hardware issues.
I use the latest full version AutoCAD, legal and licensed. My computer hardware is current and more than enough to handle the software.
I do this full time, not on weekends and evenings after work. You can focus on design and let me handle the drafting.
If you have existing AutoCAD drafting standards I will match them. If not I will create one and provide you with the template file.
I would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
Some of the benefits to hiring an independent AutoCAD Drafting contractor:
  * No need to mess with the usual new hire paperwork.
  * No FICA, workman’s comp, unemployment or benefits cost to you, simply 1099 at the end of the year.
  * No need for an additional workstation.
  * No need to purchase an additional software license for short term needs.
  * No software upgrade costs.
  * No software training costs.
