Cabinet Vision Drafter – Full-Time On SitePlaced with a high-end kitchen builder, this drafter worked with production to nest machines, sat in on client meetings, and freed up the owner’s time. Huge impact.
Microvellum Drafter – Remote, Overnight ProjectsA joinery shop needed an expert in curved joinery for commercial projects. We sourced a high-skill drafter who worked remotely and handed over completed files by morning. No delays. No rework.
