Hello! Clinton made some valid points about the business being difficult to make a profit. I'll try to share my thoughts on your idea in a less abrasive manner. . .I am the owner of a drafting service, CAD Wizards. I started the business in 2004 and have little to no time to promote the business. . .and little to no money to advertise. Finding work is not as difficult as finding steady work, which has been my problem. I feel that much of the American work force has become tainted by those that have a lack of pride for the type of work they perform and those that undercut legitimate hard working, honest, and keep deserving companies from getting work. I am young, but old fashioned in the sense that I would rather produce a quality set of drawings with little to no rework required. My services are more costly, but I feel they are worth it so I have not given up on this business yet. It has allowed me to explore other options as well. . .my most recent project involved the engineering of a retaining wall for a residential building. I was able to help the home owner by sub-contracting an engineer to do the work for them. They were not able to get a response from any local engineers, so I charged a small "finders fee" and didn't do any of the work on the project. Everything worked out very well! I think if you want to run a drafting service, try it. See how you like it. It isn't going to be easy to start a legitimite business, but it is possible. Also, I would definitely consider hiring someone to help me complete my CAD contracts if I was in need of electronics/electrical drawings. It isn't something I'm completely familiar with or a main service that I offer, so I would have to consult an external source. I'd be willing to work with you to help both of us get more business if you're interested. Sincerely, Joseph Podwats CAD Wizards www.CADwizards.com
