How it works
Setup: To get started I will need an example of your "Typical project". Preferably an electronic cad file with the .ctb or .stb file and a printed copy.
I will use this to set up your "Profile". With this information I create a template file and populate the data files for my lisp routines (text sizes, styles, layer names, etc.).
*****************************************
Projects: Clients can send me work via EMAIL, FTP TRANSFER, FAX, MAIL, or FEDEX. Please request server login information for FTP uploads.
I can work from sketches, paper drawings, cad drawings, Google SketchUp Models, PDF's, DWF's, image scans, floppy disks (3.5 & 5.25), zip disks (100 & 250 meg), CDROMS, and DVD's.
If you would like a person to person meeting at your office or jobsite please visit Service Locations page.

Billing Terms:
A 30% deposit is required on house plans only. All other work requires no up front fees.
Full payment is expected upon completion of the work and prior to delivery of the source files. You will receive non-printable PDF files for review/approval. Payment via PayPal prefered.
Billing terms can be arranged for commercial customers wanting to establish a working relationship.
*****************************************
Delivery: Turnover can be as fast as same day or overnight on smaller projects (overtime rates apply).
My computer is normally "Online" from 8am to 8pm EST (7 days a week) for your convenience.
I can plot the drawings and send the printed sheets to you. I can fax you 8.5x11 (standard) or 8.5x14 (legal) size sheets.
I can send the AutoCAD dwg file to you via email so you can plot them in house.
I can email a PDF file directly to your blueprinting firm for plotting and delivery to your office.
I can also send PLT's, DWF's, TIFF's and other file formats as required.
I can provide a copy of all files on a CDROM upon completion of a project (by request).
*****************************************
Ownership: You or your client maintains ownership of all drawings and plans that I produce at your direction.
You may provide me with your "Typical Blocks" for use in your drawings and you retain ownership. Otherwise I will use selections from my extensive Library, to which you may use in other drawings but with no claims of "ownership" of the blocks.
*****************************************
Customization: Quite often I will create a lisp routine or other customization to perform certain repetitive tasks needed to produce client drawings. Through the use of this customization the opportunity for error is reduced as well as my billable time. This customization is done on my own time, and I retain ownership of the customization.
If desired the client may purchase specialized customization as a separate service and retain ownership.
I may be contracted for the purpose of producing client specific customization of your AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT software.
*****************************************
Security: If your project requires special security measures I am ready to assist.
I will work under client provided Non-Disclosoure Agreements.
Destruction of all client provided and in house generated work materials (electronic, printed, etc.)
will be performed upon client request.
*****************************************
Warranty: You may request correction of errors at no additional fee for a period of 30 days after delivery.
Liability will be strictly limited to correction and replacement of the electronic files.
The incurred cost of any replacement plots or prints is excluded. Any other costs or expenses are excluded.
