1. How Do I get Started?
You can reach our to us via the contact page, email, phone etc. Please send us your sketches, any CAD files, drawings, or
legacy data available for your project. After providing us the necessary data, we will provide a quote that MUST be signed
and sent back to us before we will start work on your project.
2. How do we communicate?
Email will be the best form of contact. This method will provide the best "paper trail" for questions that may arise.
However, phone, text, or social media will be acceptable as well (we do not recommend using social media other than for
casual comments, we will never share your project details).
3. What is your pricing policy?
My pricing can be broken down into three catergories: 1) 2D Archtectural Drafting, 2) 3D Modeling/Drafting/Design, 3) Training.
-2D Architectural Drafting: I charge by the sheet. We charge $120/Sheet.
-3D Modeling/Drafting/Design: This is using either Solid Works or Solid Edge to produce 3D models and/or their
counterpart drawings. This includes design work from scratch, redraws of existing prints, etc..
We charge a fee of $80/Hour. We do provide a quote for estimated time.
-Training: Training is very different from Drafting and design as there are so many variables and factors. Training courses
are custom and will be set up according to you or your business' needs. Factors include travel time, room/board, and
the skill of the users being trained (new users vs continuing education users).
4. When is payment due?
Projects will be invoiced within 24-48 hours of completion. We can invoice via Paypal or email. Payment must be received
within 30 days of receiving invoice OR per our agreement on the quote. Projects will NOT be released until payment has
been cleared and received.
Forms of Payment:
Cash, Check or PayPal.
For PayPal, please add an additional 10% for transaction fees.
Make checks payable to "Scott Lester".
All returned checks are subject to a $25 service fee.
5. Do you offer Design work?
Yes, as the title of the company states, we can provide design work. However, it is HIGHLY recommended that final drawings
be approved by an engineer or architect (I am not an engineer, or architect, but a degreed design drafter). We do however
have architect & engineering consultants that loov over our designs. Mechanical Engineering stamp can be added at an
additional cost.
6. What programs does you use?
We use Solid Works or Solid Edge for our 3D modeling, Draftsight (exactly like AutoCAD) for our 2D archtectural drafting. We
also use Keyshot to render 3D models.
7. What standards are used?
We adhere to strict drafting and design standards. First & foremost, we will use the standards that you provide to us. We will
also adhere to ASME standards for mechanical drawings. We have a several standards book to reference.
8. How do I get my files to you?
Most files can be emailed, however, for larger drawing packages, we ask that you set up a Drop Box account and we will share
a private folder with you.
