For the past 8 years, I have provided 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 services to more than 20 fabrication, welding, manufacturing, and engineering companies across the 𝗨𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮, producing 𝟭𝟱𝟬+ 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝟯𝗗 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀.

My work is focused on more than simply producing drawings that look correct on screen. I consider how the design will actually be cut, bent, welded, assembled, and installed before it reaches the shop floor. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗘 𝗜𝗡 • LV switchboards and switchgear assemblies • Electrical substation kiosks and enclosures • Sheet-metal enclosures and components • Switchboard and kiosk base frames • Welded assemblies and sub-assemblies • Structural steel and fabricated components • Complete fabrication drawing packages • DXF flat patterns and manufacturing outputs I have experience working on projects involving 𝗔𝗦/𝗡𝗭𝗦 𝟲𝟭𝟰𝟯𝟵-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗩 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 and understand the importance of coordinating the mechanical fabrication requirements with the overall assembly. I do not claim to provide electrical certification or certify an assembly's compliance.

You don't always need another full-time drafter when project workloads increase. I can work as an 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺, taking on overflow fabrication drafting when your in-house team is overloaded or when project deadlines are tight. If you already have an approved design reference, GA drawing, sketch, or 3D model, I can take it from there and develop the fabrication documentation needed by your shop. My goal is simple: Increase your drafting capacity without increasing your permanent headcount. --- 𝗠𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠 I use a structured workflow designed to catch design and fabrication issues before they reach the shop floor. 𝟭. 𝟯𝗗 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 I create the 3D model from the approved design reference and submit it for review. Models can be provided in STEP, IFC, or 3D PDF formats. 𝟮. 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 & 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 I incorporate client comments, design changes, and additional requirements before proceeding to the final documentation. 𝟯. 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗔𝗚𝗘 Once the design is approved, I can produce: • Main assembly drawings – how welded sub-assemblies are assembled and bolted together • Sub-assembly drawings – how individual parts are welded together • Individual part drawings – dimensions, fabrication details, bend radii, bend locations, tolerances, and flat patterns • DXF flat patterns – for CNC/laser cutting • BOMs – parts, quantities, materials, finishes, and hardware • Exploded assembly views – with balloon callouts • Fabrication reports – including parts lists, bolt lists, and bolt location lists The goal is to provide the shop with the information required to fabricate and assemble the project accurately. 𝟰. 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞 I consider practical manufacturing requirements such as: • K-factor and bend allowance • Bend radii and bend locations • Material thickness • Sheet-size limitations • Bending-machine limitations • Welded vs. bolted connections • Hardware installation • Assembly access and sequence • Flat-pattern accuracy This is where my engineering and fabrication mindset comes into the design. 𝟱. 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗟 Post-release changes are tracked systematically: Rev 0 = initial approved release; Rev 1, Rev 2, Rev 3+ = subsequent post-release revision cycles. Each revision identifies the affected drawings and the reason for change, maintaining a clear history and ensuring the shop always works from the latest approved revision. --- If your drafting team is overloaded, or you have an LV switchboard, electrical enclosure, sheet-metal, or fabrication project that needs additional drafting capacity, I can help you get the work done!
