Why Citrus CAD? It can take years to learn how to utilize all of the power of modern CAD (computer aided drafting) programs. We started out with AutoCAD version 10 may years ago, and have updated continually, and are awaiting the newest release (Architect 2008)later this month. But accurate, buildable prints also require a knowledge of the building industry. That is where we can really save you time and money! With over 20 years experience in the field building residential and commercial structures, we know what the trades need in the way of information and workable details. We can anticipate potential conflicts and ambiguities that may create delays or errors during construction. If your constuction team has its own set of standards and "best practices", we will gladly incorporate them into your blueprints. "Detailed, uniform and accurate working drawings will eliminate much of the guesswork and additional costs that build up when working drawings are less precise or incomplete." Nation's Building News, NAHB 2-26-07 How can this save us money? Value engineering is a time-tested way to maximize the performance and minimize the cost of desired construction options. That is, give the customers what they want in the most economical manner. Place exterior openings at CMU unit dimensions, plan room dimensions to closely match flooring unit sizes, don't place trusses over walls with plumbing or HVAC chases - we try to look at all the details and, wherever possible, save material and labor costs. During the last ten years, we have produced hundreds of plans for owners and builders, including five years with Del Webb (now part of Pulte Homes). This company, CitrusCAD Corp., is the natural offshoot of all those years of learning and refining our skills.
