Production drafting & detailing capacityYour best people are doing two jobs at once.
HX Construction Design is a remote extension of your design team. We work in your standards and under your direction, adding capacity on the drawing production so your team can stay closer to the project, the field, and the customer
Drafting is not one job. It is two.
In the drawing rooms we've looked at, it runs about 70/30. Pull last month's hours and code every line as volume or judgment — you'll get your own number.
That is not a headcount problem. It is a split problem.
JURISDICTION & RESPONSIBILITYThe Split, On Paper
Your detailing manager draws that line, not us. The scope split is named in writing before job one.
PRODUCTION SCOPESix Kinds of Production Work
Across structural steel detailing, fire protection design, and MEP drafting and modeling
Shop and Fabrication Drawings
Piece marks, cut lists, weld callouts, bolt schedules, and shop assembly details produced to your shop standards and delivered ready for your checkers.
Erection and Installation Drawings
Erection plans, field sheets, and installation layouts drawn off the same model, so the shop and the field are working from one source.
Model Production and BIM Support
3D modeling to your LOD requirements, with clash identification and coordination support.
Design Production and Layout
Working plan sheets, head and pipe layouts, duct and equipment routing from your markups, standard details, legends, and title blocks.
Revisions, Backchecks and As-Builts
Turning around redlines, incorporation of AHJ and plan review comments, RFI responses, and final as-built drawing production.
Takeoffs and Submittal Package Assembly
Model-derived quantities, material cut lists, and complete submittal packages ready for review.
QUALIFICATION & FITWho This Is For
We work with specialty trade contractors and structural steel fabricators who have backlog they cannot detail fast enough with their current in-house bench.
You Are The Right Fit If:
Specialty trade contractors; fire protection, HVAC, electrical, plumbing running more work than their own drawing bench can carry.
Structural steel fabricators with a backlog they cannot detail: data centers, LNG, semiconductor and advanced manufacturing, bridge and heavy industrial.
If you are shopping for the cheapest drafting you can find, we are honestly not your fit. If you want production capacity that works the way you already work, we should talk.

Something real, but small enough to be a low-risk test. You will know inside one job.
