Remote CAD Draughting Services
Most technical drawing work doesn't require anyone to be in the same room. I work remotely for clients across the UK, producing precision technical drawings from my home office in Cornwall and delivering files in whatever format you need.
You send me your brief, sketches, existing drawings, specifications, or survey data. I produce the drawings. You receive files — typically within an agreed timescale, often faster. No desk to provide, no equipment to supply. Just accurate drawings, delivered reliably.

Remote draughting works particularly well for:
Manufacturing companies without in-house draughting resource: Companies that occasionally need technical drawings - for a modification, a new piece of equipment, a one-off component - but don't have a draughtsman on staff. Remote engagement means you get expert-level drawings without the overhead of a permanent hire.
Steelwork fabricators and construction contractors with workload peaks: When your in-house drawing capacity is full and a new project lands, remote support means you can take the work on without turning anything away. I integrate with your drawing standards and deliver files ready for your workshop.
Engineering firms and consultancies: Design organisations that need drawing support on specific projects - to supplement in-house capacity, to handle overflow, or to cover a particular specialist area.
Companies based outside the Southwest: I work with clients in Yorkshire, and by prior arrangement can travel to site across the UK for occasional surveys or visits. Happy to help whether you're in Sheffield or St Ives.
The Practical Advantages of Flexible Freelance Support
Working with a freelance draughtsman on a flexible basis - remote where the work allows, on-site when it's needed - has real commercial advantages over maintaining permanent in-house draughting capacity.
You engage me when you have drawing work to do and not when you don't. There's no overhead between projects. Scope can expand or contract as the project demands. And because I work from my own office using my own equipment and software, there's nothing to set up on your side - just agree what's needed and when, and I'll deliver it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. If you use a drawing management system or project extranet, I'm happy to work within it — uploading completed drawings, managing revisions, and following your issue and revision procedures. Let me know what system you use when we discuss the project.
-
Yes. For larger or more complex projects where it's useful to understand the site conditions before agreeing scope, I'm happy to visit before we formally agree the work. Get in touch and we can discuss whether a preliminary visit makes sense for your project.
-
Yes. A significant part of my work is one-off drawings for smaller businesses - a single component detail, a modification drawing for an existing piece of equipment, a layout for a new installation. These are exactly the projects that don't justify employing a full-time draughtsman but do need someone who knows what they're doing. I take them seriously and turn them around time sensitively.
-
Yes. For urgent single drawings I can often turn work around quickly. If you have an urgent requirement, call rather than email — 07515 739372.

I produce technical engineering drawings for manufacturing companies, steelwork fabricators, construction contractors, and infrastructure businesses — using AutoCAD for 2D work and Autodesk Inventor for 3D modelling. Jobs range from a single detail drawing for a one-off component to full drawing packages for new machinery, production plant, or construction projects. Typical work includes mechanical engineering drawings, structural steelwork details, architectural metalwork, site survey and measured drawings, and process plant documentation. Some clients come to me with a rough sketch; others send DWG files they need revised or added to. If it involves precision technical drawing, it's likely something I can help with.
-
Revisions are part of the process. Minor revisions - corrections, dimension changes, additional notes - can usually be accommodated immediately. Significant scope changes are discussed before I proceed so there are no surprises. I keep drawing files organised so revisions are clean and straightforward.
