Prepare construction drawings from the engineer's mark-ups
CAD tools speed up the drafting. The draftsperson still has to interpret the mark-ups and keep the set consistent.

An agent can help list affected sheets. The draftsperson updates the set and checks references.
Add standard notes, dimensions and title-block details
Repeating notes, issue dates and title-block data is routine once the standard is set.
Send a fee estimate for a drafting package
An agent can draft from past jobs. The draftsperson sets the hours and fee.
