Sheets drafted from your markups, in your template. Redline pickup, site plans, base files from survey data, and old plan sets redrawn into Civil 3D, for site and civil firms whose principal is engineer, project manager and CAD tech at once.
You stay engineer of record. DK Drafting drafts to your markups and standards, in your layers and sheet set, and checks every sheet for labels, layers and consistency before it comes back.
A site, grading and utility plan drafted from an engineer's markups: building and parking, curb and walks, existing and proposed contours, spot grades, storm structures and pipe runs, services, setbacks, dimensions, site data and the engineer-of-record title block. The sheet below is a sample on a fictitious lot, drawn in the same format as a client sheet, so you can see the deliverable without us publishing anyone's project.
Site, grading, utility and detail sheets drafted from your redlines and sketches, in your sheet set and layer standards.
Review comments and field changes picked up across the set, with labels, callouts and tables kept consistent.
Point files, field books and survey DWGs turned into a clean existing-conditions base: surface, contours, utilities and boundary.
Old plan sets and PDF-only drawings rebuilt as layered Civil 3D drawings you can design on.
Engineers worry about standards and about who is responsible. Both are answered here: we work in your template, and you stay engineer of record.
A single sheet is a good trial. Regular work can reserve a monthly block of hours and a standing slot.

Send the markups and you get a quote before any work starts. Firms that send work regularly can reserve a monthly block of hours with a standing slot on the board.
Yes. Send the point file or field book, the survey DWG and your template. We build the existing-conditions base with surface, contours, utilities and boundary on your layers.
If a client is still deciding what to build, see our conceptual site plans for developers: one concept layout on the survey, a labeled exhibit, PDF and PNG. The CAD file is an option, so your firm can carry the layout into design.
