ABOUT THE COMPANY

Dallas roots since 2008

The business began in Dallas in 2008 as DFW AutoCAD. AU Design US now brings together drafting, existing-condition documentation, field capture and project visualization for residential and commercial projects.

Our focus is practical project support: helping clients and their project teams develop the drawings and documentation they need. AU Design US primarily serves Dallas–Fort Worth and surrounding North Texas.

Legal business name: DFW CAD Drafting, LLC. dba AU Design US

OUR CAPABILITIES

Field information, drawings and project documentation

Projects reach us at different stages—with existing drawings, sketches, design information or a building that needs to be documented. We help identify what information is available and what additional documentation the drawing work requires.

Our field capabilities include Leica BLK360 LiDAR and Matterport 3D capture. These complement our drafting work by recording existing buildings and spaces when the project calls for it.

The resulting work can include drawings, technical documentation and, where agreed, models or presentation images. Deliverables are defined around the project’s purpose and the needs of the people using them.

WORKING TOGETHER

How we work with you

Your inquiry, drafting coordination and review are handled through a consistent point of contact. We begin with your project goals and available information, then define the scope and coordinate the work around those requirements.

01

Discuss the project

Share your project goals, location and available plans, sketches or photos so we can understand the work you need.

02

Define the scope

We identify the drawings, deliverables, field documentation and consultant information needed, then establish the scope of our work.

03

Develop and coordinate

We prepare the drawings, work through questions and coordinate relevant information from you and the professionals involved in the project.

04

Review and deliver

We review the work against the agreed scope, coordinate revisions as needed and deliver the agreed drawings and supporting files.

Working with engineers and consultants

When licensed engineering is required, it is provided by independent firms that you contract with directly. AU Design US can help connect you with an appropriate firm and coordinate its information within the drafting scope.

Construction is separate from our drafting and documentation services. Permit and Certificate of Occupancy decisions remain with the reviewing authority.

WHERE WE WORK

Dallas–Fort Worth roots, national project experience

AU Design US primarily serves Dallas–Fort Worth and surrounding North Texas, supporting homeowners, businesses and professional project teams.

Our work through related businesses also includes residential and commercial projects in California, Florida and other locations across the country.

Local field documentation

When a project needs measurements or scanning, we review the location, site access and required documentation to confirm the fieldwork scope. Existing-condition capture requires physical access to the building or site.

Remote drafting and visualization

Some drafting and visualization projects can be completed remotely using supplied drawings, measurements, photographs and other reliable reference material. Share your project location and available information so we can confirm what support is appropriate.
