How we draw them

  • On your template. Your title block, your sheet layout, your drawing standards.
  • To your jurisdiction. Tell us the AHJ and the NEC edition it enforces, and we draw to that.
  • By the same people each time. The designers who learn your template draw your next set.

What to know before you order

  • Sets are unstamped. They are drawn for your Professional Engineer to review and stamp.
  • Each job is quoted first. You see the price before we start drawing.
  • Revisions go through the same desk. Mark up the set and it comes back on the same turnaround.

Pricing

$50 to $100 per set. The rate comes down once you are sending work regularly.

Sets per monthHow it is pricedRate
1 to 10 Per set. Each job is quoted before we start. $50 to $100 per set
10 to 50 A fixed per-set rate, agreed once we have seen the kind of work you send. Below the per-set price. Quoted on your volume.
More than 50 A flat monthly fee, with capacity on the desk reserved for you. Quoted on your volume.

Where a job falls between $50 and $100 depends on how involved it is. A straightforward residential roof is at the lower end. A commercial or ground-mount job is at the upper end. Prices are in US dollars. There is no setup fee and no minimum contract, so you can start with a single set.

How it works

  1. You send the job. The site survey, the equipment list or proposal, your template, and any notes on what your AHJ expects.
  2. We draw the set. Our working day in New Delhi runs through your night, so the drawing happens while your office is closed.
  3. You review it. Mark up anything you want changed. Revisions come back the same way.
  4. Your PE stamps it and you submit. The set goes to your AHJ under your name.

Your customers’ information

A permit set means sending us a homeowner’s address, their utility details and their roof. That is their personal information, and your name is attached to it.

  • We sign your NDA first. Send yours and we return it signed before you share a file.
  • Only the designers on your work see it. Files are not passed around the office or shown to other clients.
  • Your drawings stay yours. We do not use them as samples without your written permission.
  • We delete on request. Ask us to remove a project’s files and we will confirm when it is done.

Questions installers ask us

Are the plan sets stamped?

No. Sets are supplied unstamped, ready for your Professional Engineer to review and stamp.

Which NEC edition do you draw to?

The edition your AHJ enforces. Adoption varies by state and by jurisdiction, so tell us which applies and we draw to that one.

What do you need from us to start a job?

The site survey, the equipment list or proposal, your drawing template or title block, and any notes you have on what your AHJ expects.

How is a set priced?

Between $50 and $100 per set, depending on the job. A straightforward residential roof is at the lower end; a commercial or ground-mount job is at the upper end. We quote each job before starting. Regular volume earns a lower rate.

What software do you draw in, and what do we get back?

We draw in AutoCAD, SketchUp and Solar Lab. Sets come back as PDF, with the DWG file.

How do revisions work?

Mark up what you want changed and send it back. The revision goes through the same desk on the same turnaround.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. Send yours and we will sign it before you share any files.

Where are you based?

New Delhi, India. Our working day runs through the US night, which is why a job sent in your afternoon can be back within 24 to 48 hours.

Start with one set

Send a single project. You will see the drawing standard and the turnaround before deciding anything further.
