CAD Services FAQs
What is CAD Conversion, and why is it useful?
CAD conversion is the process of transforming paper drawings, scanned plans, or image-based files into editable digital CAD drawings. Once converted, these files can be easily modified, measured, shared, and integrated into modern design workflows.
EXAD carefully recreates drawings while maintaining important details such as dimensions, annotations, layouts, and other technical information. This provides clients with practical digital files that can be used for further design, construction, and documentation.

What are Redline Markup Drawings, and why are they important?
Redline markup drawings show modifications, corrections, or additions made to existing drawings. They are commonly used during construction and design revisions to clearly communicate changes to the project team.
EXAD can incorporate these marked-up changes into digital drawings, helping project teams maintain updated documentation and reducing the risk of outdated information being used during construction or coordination.

How does EXAD handle revisions to architectural and engineering drawings?
Drawing revisions are managed through a structured review and update process. We first identify the requested changes and then incorporate them into the relevant drawings while maintaining consistency with the existing documentation.
Our team works with platforms such as AutoCAD, Revit, and MicroStation, depending on the requirements of the project. Revised drawings are prepared according to the agreed specifications and required delivery format.

Does EXAD provide shop drawings and as-built drawings?
Yes. EXAD provides both shop drawing and as-built drawing services for a variety of construction systems.
Shop drawings can cover HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural components, CCTV, fire alarm, and firefighting systems. As-built drawings document the final installed or constructed condition, providing valuable records for maintenance, future modifications, and facility management.

Which software does EXAD use for drafting and design?
Our drafting workflows can utilize AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, and SketchUp for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and visualization requirements.
The software and file format selected for each project depend on its technical requirements and the client’s existing design workflow.

How does EXAD maintain drawing quality and meet deadlines?
Before starting a project, we establish the required drawing standards, deliverables, project requirements, and expected timeline. During production, drawings are reviewed for dimensions, annotations, alignment, consistency, and missing information.
This structured approach helps identify potential issues before delivery while keeping the project organized and aligned with the agreed schedule.
