Supplemental Services Add Value to Utah AEC Firms

As architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms struggle to recruit and retain knowledgeable team members, companies are looking for affordable, reliable ways to meet deliverables deadlines. Some companies have looked to offshore support for computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) with mixed results.

Focus Engineering and Surveying offers a value-added service to clients through our on-call CADD services for those times when a firm simply doesn’t have enough staff to handle an increase in workload or meet a tight deadline.

“We know with rising labor costs and budget constraints it can be challenging to recruit top talent,” explains Jason Barker, Vertical Engineering Department Manager. He and Focus leadership saw clients with specific needs and recognized we could outsource firm resources and expertise to provide help.

Our CADD team brings a level of experience and proficiency that a client appreciates and relies on. “We use 2D and 3D programs such as Civil 3D (AutoCAD) and Revit to create technical drawings, models and as-built models,” Jason describes.

Whether it’s a quick-turnaround assignment or larger project, we develop a communication plan to ensure we understand design and budgetary goals, code requirements, and standards to get the project done.

It’s the same attention to detail and collaboration a client would receive if the project were our own. That’s the Focus way.
