About Brady

New to Drafting. Not New to the Work.

I'm a BCIT-certified drafting and design technician — but I didn't walk into this industry cold. Before I picked up AutoCAD, I spent 15 years building things with my hands.

I've framed walls, poured concrete, handled steel, and built everything from earthships to environmentally designed homes. I spent a decade in forestry health and management — supervising crews, coordinating with government agencies, managing contracts and deadlines, and adapting plans on the fly when conditions changed. That's not a different career. That's the foundation for this one.

What I bring to the drafting table isn't just software proficiency — it's spatial awareness from years of physical construction, the ability to visualize a plan in three dimensions before it hits paper, time management sharpened by seasons that don't wait, and communication skills built from working with everyone from landowners to municipal regulators.

Materials I work with: concrete, steel, and wood — and I've handled all three in the field, not just on screen. If you need a drafter who understands how buildings actually go together, let's talk.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working together.

What file formats do you deliver?+
I deliver in all major CAD formats including AutoCAD DWG, Revit RVT, DXF, PDF, and 3D DWF. If you need a specific format not listed, just ask — I can accommodate most industry-standard formats.
How fast can you complete my project?+
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days for most projects. Rush service (24–48 hours) is available for an additional fee. Complex commercial projects may take 2–4 weeks depending on scope. I'll give you an accurate timeline during our initial conversation.
How many revisions are included?+
For hourly work, revisions are simply billed at my hourly rate. For project-based quotes, I include a set number of revision rounds (usually 2–3) in the scope — we'll agree on that upfront. I want you to be happy with the work, so I'm always reasonable about revisions.
Will my drawings be permit-ready?+
Yes — I produce drawings formatted for municipal permit submission. I'm trained in BC Building Code requirements and format all drawings with proper title blocks, drawing indexes, and code reference notes for your jurisdiction.
What information do you need to get started?+
I can work from hand sketches, marked-up PDFs, existing CAD files, photos, or even verbal descriptions. The more detail you provide upfront, the faster and more accurate the initial draft will be. A quick phone call or email to discuss your project is the best starting point.
Do you offer 3D modeling or renderings?+
My primary focus is 2D production drafting in AutoCAD. I have some Revit experience for basic 3D modeling, but I'm upfront that it's not my strongest area yet. If your project requires advanced 3D visualization, I'm happy to recommend someone who specializes in that.
Can you work with my architect or engineer?+
Absolutely — that's actually how I prefer to work. I take direction well and I'm comfortable working under an architect, engineer, or senior drafter. I can join virtual meetings, follow your drafting standards, and integrate into your existing workflow. Collaboration is where I learn the most and deliver the best results.
