Here at Advantage Drafting, we’re always looking for ways to improve our services and make sure our services are clearly outlined for our customers and that all of their questions are answered.
Through that process, we often find customers asking similar questions regarding our services. So, to make finding the answers you need easier, we’ve compiled some of those questions into a single blog post.
Let’s dive in!
Does Advantage Drafting offer expedited service for rush projects?
At this time, we do not.
However, looking toward the future, expedited service is something we plan on offering. Our top priorities have always been quality and reliability. The last thing we want to do is compromise those priorities for speed before we are confidently ready to do so.
What about engineering services?
Advantage Drafting does not offer engineering services yet, though it is on our radar for future offerings.
For now, we’re holding off on offering these kinds of services so we do not spread ourselves too thin. We are currently working to better focus our efforts on the services at hand. It’s crucial that we have our focus dialed into what we specialize in prior.
What manufacturers and systems are you familiar with?
Since 2018, we have completed over 1,000 projects, providing commercial glazing and metal contractors with quality shop drawing services.
We strive for the best, solely employing experts in the glass and metal industry who have extensive background experience.
We’re familiar with products from several companies, including:
- Kawneer
- Oldcastle
- YKK
- Tubelite
- Arcadia
- US Aluminum
- EFCO
- Trulite
- Wausau
Beyond these more easily recognized names, we’ve also completed several projects with smaller US-based and European manufacturers.
With the utmost confidence in the experience of our staff, we are certain that any manufacturer you elect to work with will not pose an issue on our end.
How much does Advantage Drafting charge for shop drawings?
We typically quote our projects at a fixed price, which changes from project to project.
We’ve had clients who prefer a per-page pricing structure, which we’re happy to accommodate.
To provide a quote, we only require a few materials, including the reference architectural drawings and the scope of the work the drawings should entail. If you currently have a project in the bidding phase, we can provide a quote for that as well, so feel free to send it over to us.
All quotes are provided free of charge with no requirement for you to award your project to Advantage Drafting. If you would like to have a better idea of pricing, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We can price out an upcoming project or even if you have a project that you are just wanting to get a feeler for, Advantage Drafting is here for you!
Will my drawings go through a quality check prior to being submitted to me?
Absolutely.
This is one of the reasons our customers regularly choose Advantage Drafting over freelance drafting services.
We have a team of Quality Control technicians at Advantage Drafting whose sole responsibility is to check drawings produced, ensuring quality standards are met and any potential for oversight is minimized.
Only after our QC team has resolved any errors will the drawings be sent to the client.
Final Thoughts
We hope that the answers to these questions have clarified how we operate here at Advantage Drafting. If you have any further questions about the types of services we offer or anything else regarding our services, please contact us.
