There are lots of automated conversion systems out there that speed up conversion time. At DCM, we don’t think speed should be the only benchmark. 

When you pay a machine to churn out conversions quickly, that’s where the benefit ends—you’re in for low quality, low-security work.

Alas! This is where many of our competitors sign off.

Not DCM!

We are The Drawing Specialists.

We offer a top-quality product backed by superior customer service at a competitive price.

NO canned software. NO bulk batch drawing conversions.

You get what you pay for, and we think it’s malarkey to treat a conversion like a polaroid.

Drawings run through a high-volume process will never be 100% accurate.

Since DCM never signs off a job that isn’t perfect, we feel it’s important to separate ourselves from the mediocre conversion companies right off the bat.

WE’LL JUST SAY IT: if you’re after quick, cheap, marginal drawings that capture most of the details but not all of them, stop reading this post. You’re in the wrong place! Our services aren’t for you. You’re looking for something that leaves you feeling underwhelmed—and that’s not our bag.

Good news, though!

If you’re looking for hands-on corrections and guaranteed accuracy that costs roughly ⅓ less than subpar in-house conversions, read on smartypants researcher!

Every DCM conversion is checked by a real live human.

There is no magic software that performs a trustworthy, complete drawing conversion.

DCM automates what can be automated for efficiency, but then each drawing conversion is manually manipulated twice by two separate groups—our hands-on touch!—to correct and redraw what the automation process misses.

8 Points of QA

We have years of experience under our belts, and we used those years to streamline our system, combining automation with hands-on digitization.

We fine-tune each drawing conversion by putting it through our proprietary 8-point Quality Control process that leaves nothing to chance. So save your lucky clovers for the lotto!

“How do we do this affordable drawing conversion?” you ask.

We treat every CAD conversion like a coddled superstar, that’s how.

We know! It all seems too good to be true, right?

Well, we’re honest Canadians, so we’ll share our formula for Superman-style affordable drawing conversion success:

We go through every drawing one-by-one to ensure high-quality, rapid turnaround, and economically-priced services worldwide. We assemble project teams to meet your specific needs.

It’s our goal to deliver a quality product, error-free, on time, to your unique specifications (so your CAD drawings are ready for immediate use). When we do this at a competitive price, we win the day, saving the world from bad conversions all over the place.

REPEAT CUSTOMERS

DCM processes around 8,000 drawings per year for our clients and draftspersons in a range of industries: utilities, power generation, engineers, architects, education and healthcare. This value sets us apart from automation shops.

Our high-quality product has resulted in a repeat client base of North American firms such as Stantec, Ellis Don, Platte River Power Authority, and many others. Client trust is the cornerstone of our repeat client base.

“Okay, I’m in!” you say.

(That’s great.)

But then you wonder, “How beneficial are editable drawings?”

Great question!

If you are a facility manager, engineer, architect, contractor, or property manager, you’ll come across blueprints and engineering drawings that are not in an editable format. You’ll need to modify and update drawing information for a renovation, for example. Paper scans and composite hybrid drawings don’t allow that. 

Let’s get specific! Here’s what we convert, and the formats we serve across all disciplines:

We’re not just a PDF to CAD converter.

DCM also: 

So what does this top-of-the-line conversion cost?

DCM reduces redraw time and cost by up to 70%.

We take pride in our top-quality CAD conversions and affordable rates.

Typical turnaround time for 1-5 “D-size” sheets is three days.

Take your drawings from where they are now to where they need to be in 2020 (the right way).

If instant coffee is what you’re after, get your caffeine fix at the minimart down the street. But if a cuppa joe that’s expertly brewed by a Colombian barista is more your style, we’ve got a hot mug of locally-roasted arabica french press with your name on it.

We are family-owned and we have family values. That’s why we don’t throw software at a project and call it a day. And that’s why we are leading CAD conversion in North America.
