From First Call to Final Review: What It’s Really Like to Work with MP Drafting

When your project’s on the line, the last thing you need is a drafting partner who disappears after kickoff. At MP Drafting, we’ve built our process to work the way seasoned PMs expect — fast, clear, and collaborative from day one.

Here’s what it’s like to work with us.

1. The Project Preview (Day 1)

Once your job is submitted, our team doesn’t just throw it into the queue. We run a structured project preview to flag any missing info, architectural mismatches, or spec ambiguities.

Why it matters:

This step eliminates most of the avoidable delays later in the process — the ones that come from chasing clarifications mid-draw.

2. Kickoff Form and File Check

Next, we guide you through our kickoff form – a simple worksheet that captures everything we need: highlighted scope, quote forms, architectural sets, and system preferences.

Don’t have something? That’s fine – we’ll tell you what we can work from.

3. Mid-Project Questions (Handled Promptly)

As drafting progresses, questions come up — and we don’t wait until the end to ask them. You’ll get a clear email (or sometimes a Zoom) from our drafter or scheduling manager so we can resolve issues before they stall the job.

This isn’t “set it and forget it.” It’s a real partnership.

4. Drawing Review and Revisions

When the drawings are ready, we ask for your feedback and apply any requested revisions – often keeping the same drafter on the file so nothing gets lost in translation.
Need engineering? We’ll handle that coordination for you and wrap it into the same PO.

5. What Clients Say

The biggest compliments we get?

  • “Your drawings are more complete than we’re used to, but it helped us out alot.”
  • “My fabricator actually liked working from these drawings.”
  • “You were responsive. That’s rare.”

Most new clients come to us because they’re tired of chasing vendors who miss deadlines or leave them in the dark.
