A CAD consultant is a professional with extensive design knowledge who offers architectural CAD drafting services (floor plans, building design, construction drawings, and other design services), including drafting drawings of buildings or other architectural projects. An architectural CAD consultant also offers architectural design CAD conversion. These drawings can show intricate details of a building's structure, including its elevations and dimensions, and are often used as a resource when building a project from scratch. These designs can be aesthetically pleasing and functional, and they can be made to fit within a budget. In addition, a CAD drafter can create designs compliant with local building codes and zoning regulations. They also provide detailed residential plans for residential 2D CAD drafting projects, allowing designers to produce accurate project drawings quickly.
