This process is ideal for the conversion of Architectural drawings, Engineering drawings, As-Builts, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Maps and many other types of drawings that need to be dimensionally accurate and have the ability to be easily edited in many CAD programs.

Our paper to CAD conversion services can be used in many industries including:

Architectural / Interior Designing / Landscaping
Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC etc.)
Utilities (Gas, Electric, Sewer, Water)
Facilities and Plant Management
Mapping and GIS
Building Construction

We Create the Highest Quality Product Possible

We do not use conversion software due to the lack of accuracy; line dimensions, scale, and text are not always accurately converted when utilizing auto conversion software.

Instead, we have our trained drafters re-draft your drawings into AutoCAD or many other CAD programs. This ensures the highest quality final product. Our highly skilled and experienced team can both understand and convert hand sketches, complex paper drawings, hand scribbles and survey notes into a set of complete plans with consistency and diligent quality control.

We offer many services, each custom tailored to meet your individual and specific needs. All drawings are done at full scale and are dimensionally accurate to the original. We can utilize your standards, including layering, colors, text style, dimension style, border and title block.

Our Process

Over the years, Northeast Blueprint has put into place a process which allows us to create 100% accurate CAD files in the shortest amount of time, at a very low cost to the customer. We understand that all jobs are unique and we always adhere to the needs of our customers:

Standard Project Flow:

Customer supplies a sample of files in project and gives basic criteria for the Scope of Work needed.
Northeast Blueprint team reviews drawing(s) and provides a price, turnaround, and sample if required.
Upon acceptance of the project Northeast Blueprint obtains all files or paper drawings related to project.
Your scanned TIF/PDF/JPG files, original blueprints, paper, or mylars are logged in as a new project.
Your project’s special requirements are reviewed by our staff and a Scope of Work is developed. Our SOW often includes: layering guidelines, standards, title blocks, fonts, file naming conventions and specific due dates.
Our CAD operators begin their process of re-drafting.
Upon completion of re-drafting, the files are reviewed by a Level 2 operator to verify accuracy and to contact the customer with any questions.
Once verified, our final QC operator goes over the final deliverable and signs off that it is accurate.
Completed AutoCAD files are returned to customer.
