Lean Drafting (LD) is a clash prevention methodology that centralizes multidisciplinary modeling and coordination practices to eliminate unnecessary coordination meetings. According to Fuze statistics, there are 25 million meetings per day in the U.S. and more than $37 billion per year is spent on unproductive meetings. In BIM, drafters work in isolation and coordinate conflicts later; whereas, in lean drafting, all trades model and coordinate at the same time, in direct contact and collaboration, eliminating needs to resolve clashes in permanent coordination meetings.
Yes, we offer a service called Lean Drafting which allows us to model and coordinate scopes simultaneously eliminating the need for permanent coordination meetings.
It varies from 24 to 48 hours.

Join the dozens of contractors that are getting more out of their shop drawing services

"I saw immediate results. I got more detailed shop drawings that improved my fabrication and installation processes." - Jorge Bonilla

Founder's note

Many contractors struggle to find drafters that meet their drafting goals.  

Yup — while it's easier than ever to connect with drafters around the world (thanks, Linkedin!), it's harder than ever to find the one to work with. ​

Most contractors have two main challenges working with drafters:
 
  • The lack of attention to detail, which results in problems during construction processes.
  •  
  • The lack of customer service, which results in clients frustration.
  •  
That's why we built Virtual Pen — to give contractors like you a leg-up.

In the last four years we've helped dozens of contractors (like yourself) generate $500 Million in sales. I'd love for you to give it a try.
