Your dedicated CAD Technician handles the high-volume drafting work that keeps your project pipeline moving — floor plans, sections, elevations, details, and redline revisions — in your AutoCAD or MicroStation environment. Working under your project architects and engineers, they free your senior staff to focus on design decisions and client coordination instead of production output. And they do it at 50%+ lower cost than a US-based hire, on a month-to-month basis with no long-term commitment.
CAD production is entirely digital and deadline-driven — making it ideal for dedicated remote work. Your CAD Technician works in your AutoCAD or MicroStation environment during your US business hours, picks up redline markups, and delivers revised sheets to your production schedule. LATAM timezone overlap (0–3 hours behind EST/CST) ensures real-time communication and same-day revision cycles.
Flexible arrangements to fit your capacity needs – dedicated individuals or scalable team setups.
Full-time (40h/week) or part-time (20h/week) CAD Technician embedded in your team. Works in your CAD environment, follows your drawing standards, and delivers sheets to your production schedule.
From ~$2,800/mo
Two or more CAD Technicians working in parallel for multi-project offices or high-volume construction document production phases.
Custom — based on team size and scope
Specialists are vetted on the tools your team already uses.
AutoCAD

MicroStation
2D/3D CAD production for firms using Bentley workflows and infrastructure projects.
Bluebeam Revu
Redline markup review, drawing comparison, and coordination comment tracking.
AutoCAD LT
Lightweight 2D drafting for firms with LT-based production workflows.
Autodesk Construction Cloud
Cloud-based document management, version control, and team coordination.
Typical outputs produced by a dedicated CAD Technician for US teams.
Dedicated CAD Technicians start at approximately $2,800/month for full-time engagement (40h/week). Part-time (20h/week) and CAD production pod configurations are also available. Pricing varies based on experience level, software proficiency (AutoCAD vs. MicroStation), and project complexity.
Final pricing depends on experience level, hours per week, and engagement model.
Often paired with or complementary to the CAD Technician role.
Common questions about hiring a CAD Technician through LatAm Scalers.
A CAD Technician produces and maintains 2D construction drawings using AutoCAD or MicroStation. They draft floor plans, sections, elevations, and detail sheets from redline markups or design sketches provided by your licensed architects and engineers. They also manage title blocks, layer standards, xrefs, and drawing archives to keep your document sets organized and production-ready.
Our CAD Technicians are primarily AutoCAD production specialists. Many also have working knowledge of Revit for extracting views, placing annotations, or assisting with basic model cleanup — but if your workflow is Revit-primary, a dedicated Revit Drafter or BIM Coordinator may be a better fit.
Yes. Experienced CAD Technicians interpret redline markups from architects and engineers and translate them into updated drawing sets. They flag ambiguous markups for clarification rather than guessing — keeping your revision cycles fast and accurate.
US-based CAD Technicians typically cost $50,000–$75,000/year fully loaded. LATAM-based equivalents through LatAm Scalers start at approximately $2,800/month ($33,600/year) — a savings of 50–70% with no compromise on drafting quality or turnaround speed.
