Remote Civil 3D Drafting Support
Production drafting support that helps civil engineering and surveying firms add capacity — and deliver projects faster.
An extension of your team
Firth Civil Drafting doesn't replace your engineers, surveyors, or PMs. It absorbs the production drafting that quietly eats engineering time — so your firm delivers faster, without adding permanent payroll.
Capabilities
Focused Civil 3D support across the four kinds of work that consume the most engineering time during busy periods.
01
Full production drafting for the sheets your projects live and die by — set up, organized, and plotted to match your office.
02
The technical CAD work inside the model — labels, surfaces, viewports, and standards handled so your sheets read clean.
03
Clean base files and existing-conditions drafting that give every downstream sheet an accurate place to start.
04
One of the highest-value services: engineers make the decisions, and the marked-up changes are drafted in accurately and fast.
Why firms use us
Most firms hit a point where project demand exceeds the hours available to draft. Two of the options cost you. The third doesn't expand your payroll.
Option A
Push deadlines and absorb the project-timeline risk that comes with it.
Option B
Spend valuable, billable engineering time on production drafting and lose efficiency.
Option C
Bring in flexible production support — without expanding permanent staff.
That's where we come in
Scale production up or down with actual workload — no recruiting, hiring, training, or long-term payroll.
Work happens inside your layer standards, title blocks, plot styles, and sheet organization — not a new system.
Not a general drafting service. Centered on Civil 3D, civil plan production, and land-development deliverables.
Built for deadline pushes, permitting sprints, and submittal cycles — extra hands exactly when you need them.
How it works
We meet first to make sure we're a fit, then integrate into your existing process. You stay in control of design decisions, approvals, and final delivery the whole way through.
We start with a conversation to understand your firm, your standards, and the kind of support you need — and to make sure we're the right fit before any files change hands.
Once we're aligned, you share project files, redlines, drafting standards, and scope for the work ahead.
Work is completed inside your standards and workflows — the goal is deliverables that look like your own CAD department produced them.
Completed files are returned for review. Your engineers keep full control of design decisions, approvals, and final delivery.
Operating out of Utah · Wyoming roots
Founder
I'm a civil engineering student at the University of Utah and the founder of Firth Civil Drafting. I started it to give civil and surveying firms dependable drafting support, and I'm building a small, carefully-trained team around that same standard of work.
Studying civil engineering means the work isn't just linework. We understand the plans behind it — the standards, the intent, and why a clean, reviewable sheet matters to the engineer signing it.
I grew up in Wyoming and work out of Utah, and most of my free time is spent in the mountains. That same care for getting the details right outdoors is the care that goes into every file we send back.
Clear boundaries
Engineering judgment, design decisions, and final approval stay entirely with your licensed professionals. That clarity is exactly what makes the support safe to lean on.
