Archidata employs Architects to serve our Architectural clients
Archidata Inc. is a New York based CAD service bureau providing full service CAD support to the Architectural, Engineering and Facilities community. We’ll get your drawings done right, on time and on budget, without your investment in new equipment and staff. The experts at Archidata are Architects and have up to 25 years of CAD experience. From schematics through construction documents, we'll produce CAD drawings to match your company standards. During the past 15 years, over 100 of this area's design firms - large and small - have outsourced their drafting work to Archidata. Our field survey teams have measured over 10 million SF of space to prepare accurate as-built floor plans. Working with both Autocad and Microstation, we’ve produced drawings for projects totaling 20 million SF. Our experience and expertise can work for you.
Our approach to the Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) service business is unique in this region. We are the premier CAD service bureau serving the architectural, engineering and interior design communities and the only one specializing in both AutoCAD and MicroStation. We employ only highly skilled CAD users with architectural degrees and architectural experience. We feel strongly that a small, hand picked team of professionals can meet your project needs far more effectively than a larger group of CAD operators without architectural or engineering backgrounds.
Archidata was founded in 1988 and it’s principals’ represent over 50 years of experience in the architectural profession utilizing CAD systems. We have successfully completed a number of very large scale projects including the Den Haag City Hall for the firm of Richard Meier + Partners and the World Trade Center Redevelopment and AirTrain System at Kennedy airport for the Port Authority of NY & NJ.
Archidata can provide you with a full range of CAD services
There are basically two types of clients who use our services, those with in-house CAD systems and those without. Existing CAD capable firms send their overflow work to Archidata and get back drawings that match the style of the remaining document set. Working from your sketches and redmarks, we can usually turnaround drawings faster than your own CAD department. Firms without CAD use Archidata to represent an in-house CAD department. They can market a full range CAD services and count on us to come through for them when they need us. All without the expense of setting up and running a CAD department.
Archidata has extensive experience working with architects, engineers, facility managers, interior designers and real estate companies. In addition to drafting contract documents, we survey existing buildings to prepare as-built drawings and area take-offs, provide network & computer consulting, offer CAD training & support and create computer renderings & animations.
When using Archidata you can choose to have your work done in either AutoCAD or MicroStation. We can also translate CAD data to and from many other CAD systems. In all cases, CAD work prepared by Archidata is your property and is delivered to you at the end of the project at no additional cost.
Archidata has produced CAD drawings for projects totaling over 35 million square feet
Our success over the last 20 years can be attributed mainly to one thing, service. We exist to serve the needs of our clients. Service includes offering the flexibility required to meet ever-changing schedules and means never missing a deadline or exceeding the budget. We are proud to say that since the inception of Archidata, Inc., we have never missed a deadline or gone over budget.
One of the motivations driving the formation of Archidata was the frustration the principals had in finding reliable, competent CAD help. Now that Archidata is established that niche has been filled. All our work has come to us by referral, a compliment that speaks for itself.
The enclosed client list shows a broad range of completed work. Our capabilities can best be judged by examining the work we’ve already completed and examining the professional experience of the Principals. Considering our exceptional performance during the design phase of the Port Authority’s APM Program, we were retained to provide all Plans, Sections, Elevations and Details for all eleven buildings in the contract document set. We maintain our track record of excellent service and will continue to provide this level of service in future projects.
