Drafted to US survey standards.
Your drafter knows the documents, units and requirements US survey firms work with every day.
2026 ALTA/NSPS standards
ALTA/NSPS surveys contracted from February 23, 2026 follow the new requirements. We draft to them, including the new Table A items and easement reporting.
State plane & datums
Coordinates in your state plane zone on NAD 83 / NAVD 88, matched to your control and labeled on the drawing.
US survey feet vs international feet
We confirm the unit of every dataset before drafting, so state plane coordinates don't shift.
State & county plat rules
Send your county checklist or recording requirements and every plat is drafted to them.
Mortgage & title work
Flood zone notes, setbacks and certifications in the format lenders and title companies expect.
Your seal, your standard
You make the boundary decisions and seal the drawing. We draft in your template and flag anything that doesn't add up.
From field data to final drawing.
Every drawing is checked by its drafter and then reviewed again by a second team member — so you spend your time sealing, not fixing.

Questions surveyors ask us.
Something else? Ask on WhatsApp or email services@cadrasolutions.com.
How does the free 8-hour trial work?+
Send us a real project. We draft up to 8 hours on it at no cost and with no commitment, so you can judge our quality, communication and speed before you pay anything.
Do you do fieldwork?+
No. We are a drafting partner. You (or your crew) collect the field data; we turn it into finished CAD drawings for your review and seal.
What data do you need from us?+
Typically point files or CSVs, field notes or sketches, deeds, plats and legal descriptions, the title commitment for ALTA work, and your CAD template. Send what you have and we will tell you if anything is missing.
Which software and standards do you use?+
Our team is AutoCAD and Civil 3D certified and drafts to international drafting standards — and to your office template, layers and title block.
How do you keep our files confidential?+
Your files are handled 100% confidentially, used only for your project, and we can sign an NDA before you send anything.
Will I talk to the person drafting my job?+
Yes. You get direct access to your drafter — no middlemen, no account-manager relay.
Do you follow the 2026 ALTA/NSPS standards?+
Yes. ALTA/NSPS surveys contracted on or after February 23, 2026 follow the 2026 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements, and we draft to them — including the updated Table A items and easement reporting. We can update your ALTA template as part of your first job.
Can you work in state plane coordinates and US survey feet?+
Yes. We confirm the state plane zone, datum (for example NAD 83 / NAVD 88) and whether each dataset is in US survey feet or international feet before drafting, and flag any mix.
Do you work with survey firms across the US?+
Yes. We draft for survey firms across the United States. Send your state and county plat requirements or checklist and we draft to them.
