About Us
We are a design drafting firm and and draw just about anything in CAD. We do a lot of "building mapping or As Builts" for business projects, and have several years of design experience to insure that the projects we undertake are done accurately and correctly according to all applicable codes and standards. Our pricing structure is market competitive and fair, and we now offer project coordination services for obtaining blueprints and contractors too. So log on to our website to see some of our work, then give us a call and let us draw what you dream.
How We Got Started
My dream was to use my skills to help others make their dreams come true. If you love what you do, then it will show in your work. I founded my own drafting company here in Wetumpka Ala because I like the area and the community.

Covid was the flu hyped for political reasons (99% surivival rate cannot be ignored). A mail order president was placed in office and that's working out just great ain't it. When fuel costs rise, EVERYTHING get more expensive. The upcoming November elections are the reason for all the crap lamestream media is now hyping, do the math. Pay attention to your business, not the circus and let's get past all this mess puuuuuuleeease!!!

This new "variant" is to detour the masses concentration from the Gisaine Maxwell trial and the political corruption that is underneath that pedophile group, and of course to pad their already greedy pockets by mandating vaccines, of which 41% of congress and biden own stock in Pfizer, Moderna, and J & J,... supposedly youths are more susceptible to this new variant, NOT surprising since they just said that ages 5--11 should now be vaccinated. Wake up America.

Savy business owners look at every possible scenario to garner some tidbit or chunk of innovation to increase their business profile, as they know that even those dark days; read this CV circus we are on now, some lesson can reveal the next opportunity for business. Working from home for many, but not all, employees can increase production, cut overhead costs, save lost time, and allow the company to hire employees they might have had to disregard before, because they 'required' an on site person for whatever reason. Today's technology allows for instant communication via video conference, phone, text or email to properly keep in contact with the flow of business for that minute, hour, or day,... So having satellite employees or contractors makes perfect business sense in these 'stay at home' days , because satellite work doesn't have to suffer for a sick day.

What's the best way, hmmmm; well the "best" way is whatever works for your particular service or product, and that is an arguably divisive world. It's all about advertising and marketing your product to make your customers' "feel" that they need exactly what you offer, not some other. You have to imagine yourself in your prospective customer's mindset, and communicate what you offer to that mindset. This is thinking inside the box, vs outside. You want to create reasons why they would want YOUR service instead of another, which requires you to put yourself in their box, instead of outside looking in.
Marketing on social media is a given need this day and age, but don't discount the old school ways of advertising either. Radio is good medium, we all listen to music; and ads in local newspapers, calendars, posters, etc,... can reach those not "down" with todays technologies. But word of mouth...

Marketing on social media is a given need this day and age, but don't discount the old school ways of advertising either. Radio is good medium, we all listen to music; and ads in local newspapers, calendars, posters, etc,... can reach those not "down" with todays technologies. But word of mouth has been, and will probably always be the mainstay of good marketing. Friends tell their friends, and as the axiom goes, "if it's good, they'll tell 3-4, if it's bad, they'll tell 10". You must spend time marketing your company to keep it alive and growing. It's a balance to be sure, but required; you market your work so you can spend time doing the actual work you get paid for. That's just the way it is. I wish you the best. What's that old saying, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen,... well you've already proven you can take the heat, now just get used to a different way of fighting "fires".

When marketing ones company on professional websites such as Alignable; LinkedIn, Houzz, and others etc,... or the vast array of social media, I have found it beneficial to ask to the experts regarding the latter, ie, the teenage girls at my church to find out which sites are 'in' and which are "so over". As for the former, the professional sites such as this one, I use many. I prefer Alignable and LinkedIn, as they draw the mix of professionals for which I am marketing my drafting company to. I have used both since I formed my company almost 3 years ago, with efficacious results.

Owning your own business offers many advantages over working for another company, and the list offered above is many of them; but not the meat of why most owners I've met wanted to do it on their own. It's the personal challenge of building something tangible by themselves, and watching it grow and prosper. Of course you don't actually 'do it on your own', there are many people involved in helping a new owner find out what they don't know about what they don't know. But being a sole-proprietor is a great way to make those ideas you had come to fruition when many people along the way told you it couldn't work; you can build a better or different mouse trap and earn your keep while meeting so many wonderful people along the way. But that one big axiom that we've all heard about being a business owner is quite true; "ya don't work, ya don't eat".

Follow up contacts are most important in establishing a new client relationship. It shows that prospective client that you are interested in them, and their business, and puts your company a level or two higher in their 'imaginary tier level' of someone to do business with. Even better, that short; 2-3 day at best, lapse you waited to make that follow-up contact may have opened up opportunity for you/them that did not exist when you made the initial contact. So instead of just a simple follow-up call, you have now secured a real business contact/CONTRACT and acquired new business for your company. Simply because you kept your word, and followed through, it's those little things that encourage people to do business with you instead of your competitor.

As we all know, the modern media has given us so many new pathways to communicate, that they leave us with little time to do the actual work that we pursue through this media. For me, it all boils down to prioritizing the needs of my business and having my own time for pleasure and family. Both are requirements for a successful life. So; when I feel the need, I put the phone on the charger in my office, and then I go to the beach and recharge my own battery,...my phone is ready for business when I return; as am I, and my family is happy that we got to spend actual time together, enjoying each other's company,... I've never heard anyone in their golden years say that they wish that they had spent more time at the office,... have you???
