CAD Outsourcing · United Kingdom

CAD Drafting & Engineering Design Outsourcing for UK Manufacturers

UK machine builders, fabricators and product companies send us their 2D drafting, 3D modelling, FEA and reverse engineering work. Drawings are produced to BS 8888 and ISO GPS, quoted in pounds sterling, and covered by an NDA before a single file is shared.

Why Teams In The UK Outsource To Us

An Extra Design Office, Working Your Morning

Most UK engineering teams outsource for one of three reasons: a backlog of drawings the in-house team cannot clear, a one-off job (a simulation, a scan, a legacy drawing conversion) that does not justify a hire, or a design office that needs more capacity without more overhead. We handle all three for clients in the UK and across Europe.

Our offices in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar open at 9:00 IST — that is 04:30 BST / 03:30 GMT. By the time your team starts, we have already had half a working day on your job, and we overlap with your whole morning for calls, mark-ups and questions. Work you send at the end of your afternoon is usually back in your inbox the next morning.

  • Drawings to BS 8888, ISO 128 and ISO GPS — or to your own company template
  • Metric units, first-angle projection and A-series sheets by default
  • Fixed, itemised quotes in GBP, invoiced by international bank transfer
  • NDA signed before files are shared; UK GDPR-aware handling of any personal data
  • Native SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo, Solid Edge, CATIA and AutoCAD files, plus STEP and PDF
  • Most drafting jobs turned around in 2–3 working days

What We Deliver

Engineering Services For UK Clients

Every service on this site is available to UK clients remotely. These are the ones UK firms ask us for most often.

2D Drafting & 3D Modelling

Manufacturing drawings, GA drawings and fully parametric part, sheet metal and weldment models — detailed to BS 8888 with GD&T where it matters.

Learn more

CAD Conversion & Legacy Drawings

Paper, PDF and old AutoCAD drawings rebuilt as 3D models, and file migration between SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo and others.

Learn more

Reverse Engineering

Obsolete or undocumented spares turned into production-ready CAD and drawings — from a physical part, a scan or a set of photos with dimensions.

Learn more

FEA & CFD Simulation

Stress, deflection, fatigue and flow checks before you cut metal, with a plain-English report your engineers can act on.

Learn more

Product & Machine Design

Concept to production-ready design for special-purpose machines, mechanisms, gearboxes and fabricated assemblies.

Learn more

CAD Automation

Tools that generate drawings, DXFs, BOMs and registers automatically — so repetitive drafting stops eating engineering hours.

Working Across Borders

Built For The Way UK Teams Work

Four to five hours of shared working time

India is 4.5 hours ahead of BST and 5.5 hours ahead of GMT. We are online for your full morning, and overnight turnaround is the normal pattern for smaller jobs.

Your standards, not ours

We work to BS 8888, ISO 128, ISO 1101 and ISO 2768, first-angle projection, or to your own drawing template, title block and layer standards when you send them.

Confidentiality first

A mutual NDA is signed before you share drawings. Files are shared through the channel you choose, and we only need engineering data — not personal data — to do the work.

Clear pricing in sterling

Each quote states scope, deliverables, file formats, standard and deadline, priced in GBP. No hourly meter running in the background.

Compliance-ready documentation

Drawings, BOMs and design calculations organised so they can feed your technical file for UKCA or CE conformity.

One named engineer

You deal with the engineer doing the work, not a ticket queue — so context about your product carries from one job to the next.

How An Engagement Runs

From First Email To Finished Files

  1. Send the requirement. Email [email protected] or use the quote form with drawings, sketches, models or photos, plus the standard and file format you need.
  2. NDA and fixed quote. We sign your NDA (or send ours) and reply with an itemised quote in GBP, usually within one business day.
  3. Questions before modelling. We list anything ambiguous in your input — missing dimensions, tolerances, materials — and agree it with you before work starts.
  4. Work and internal check. The job is modelled and detailed, then goes through an internal check for drawing standards and manufacturability before it leaves us.
  5. Delivery and revisions. You receive native and neutral files. Mark-ups go straight back to the same engineer, and the quote states how many revision rounds are included.

Industries

Sectors We Support In The UK

Our work for UK and European clients centres on mechanical engineering: special-purpose machinery, packaging and converting equipment, agricultural machinery and gearboxes, hydraulic presses, material handling, sheet metal and structural fabrication, and medical and laboratory equipment.

See examples in our project portfolio — including agricultural gearbox design, packaging machinery, medical machine development and 3D scanning to CAD.

FAQ

Questions From Clients In The UK

Can you produce drawings to BS 8888?
Yes. We detail to BS 8888 and the ISO GPS standards it references, in first-angle projection and metric units, unless you ask for something else. If you have a company drawing template, title block or CAD standard, we use that.
How do time zones work between the UK and India?
India Standard Time is 4.5 hours ahead of British Summer Time and 5.5 hours ahead of GMT. Our working day starts at 04:30 BST, so we overlap with your entire morning for calls and questions, and small jobs sent in your afternoon are typically back the next morning.
Do you quote and invoice in pounds?
Yes. Every quote is a fixed, itemised price in GBP, and invoices are paid by international bank transfer. We do not publish standard prices because every drawing package is different — send the requirement and you get a firm number, usually within one business day.
How do you protect our drawings and IP?
We sign an NDA before receiving files, as standard practice on every engagement. Ownership of the deliverables is set out in writing in your engagement terms, and one client’s geometry is never reused for another.
Can you support UKCA or CE documentation?
We prepare the engineering content a technical file needs — GA and detail drawings, BOMs, design calculations and simulation reports. The conformity assessment and Declaration of Conformity remain the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Can we start with a small trial job?
Yes, and we recommend it. One part or one drawing is the quickest way to judge our questions, quality and turnaround before you commit to a larger package.
