Hello!
I'm a degree qualified Architect (PgDip Arch, UEL) from UK and have five years UK work experience ranging from residential refurb schemes to new build educational projects. I have an offshore Architectural CAD outsourcing service for the UK AEC market. The idea is If there is demand for work to be done punctually, we supply it, at a very high standard of quality but low, transparent cost, on time! Now we are looking for UK based Architectural and Interior companies as our business partners who would outource some work (2D CAD conversion, technical drawings, 3D Max and SketchUp renderings etc.) to us and take full advantage of offshore CAD production at low, transparent cost.


Please find 'VCCL - CAD Outsourcing Partnership' document in .pdf format as attached. This document contains a brief background of our company, pricing schemes and turnaround time, cost benefit analysis for our UK partners, procurement process of drawn information, production strategy, QA etc. I'm also going to send you some .dwf work samples soon. We are confident that we can add value to your business by reducing in-house production cost significantly and helping you focus on developing your core business without enhancing costs at backend or investment in support functions.

Adding Real Value to Your Business:
Our client firms collaborate with us for several reasons:
-VCCL helps you reduce in-house production costs by an average margin of 50 to 70 per cent.
-We enable you to optimize your manpower management plans, absorbing staff overflow during growth spurts, and limiting risk during leaner periods.
-VCCL meets your demand for the most exacting standards of production and scheduling, and maintains a corporate culture that can mesh seamlessly into your own.
-And finally, at VCCL, we work while you sleep, decreasing production delivery schedules and doubling the number of working hours available during a single 24-hour period.

Service we offer:
We provide holistic solutions at VCCL and outsourcing all stages of the drawing process from tender, comment, working and construction issue drawings as well as photo and non-photorealistc 3D renderings to VCCL has the advantage of ensuring continuity and involves less coordination. We offer

- 2D CAD Conversion & Drafting (Paper to CAD)
- 2D CAD Technical Drawings (Working Drawings and Details, Building Regulation Drawings, Health & Safety Drawings, Shop Drawings etc)
- 2D Presentation Drawings (Plan & Elevation colour rendering, Planning brochure etc.)
- Building Service (M&E and HVAC) Drawings co-ordination
- 3D Modelling (3D AutoCAD, SketchUp & 3D Studio Max) and rendering
- 3D Walkthroughs

Pricing Scheme:
Each segment of our pricing scheme (i.e. Service charge at VCCL-Dhaka) is about 50% to 70% less than standard UK rate. Our price for 2D work is £6.00 per hour, which is way cheaper than the £12 to £15 per hour what other CAD outsourcing company charge. Our price for 3D work (AutoCAD, SketchUP & 3D Studio Max) is £12.00 per hour, which is much lower than the £35 to £40 per hour commonly quoted. One of the core concept of our pricing scheme is 'pay per use', so there's no waste! Our structured method to price a job - per hour, per M.Sq, per sheet and 'Pay weekly as you go' pricing schemes enable our partners to save money at each segment of the drawing process throughout the whole project life-cycle. For full details of our pricing scheme, please see the attached .pdf document.

UK Trained Management Team:
VCCL is run by degree qualified architects from the UK with extensive work experience and a team of project managers, engineers and architects. We are well-versed with UK and Ireland planning guidelines, building regulations and compliance standards of Architectural, Urban design and Interior design process as well as building and facility management functions. We have a state-of-the-art set up for 10 people and couple of support stuff who can handle any type of 2D CAD and 3D rendering job using all latest cutting-edge technologies (software, hardware, dedicated server etc). Half of our work force is trained in the UK with four to seven years work experience. At the moment we would like to have few Architecture and Interior companies as our business partners who would outsource continuous work to us, to use full potential of our business.

Competitive Advantages of Our Service:
At VCCL, each project team complies with strict quality assurance measures. We make sure our outsourcing process management helps in optimizing our clients business for maximum performance. We consider 'flexibility' is the key issue for our CAD service - the flexibility to tailor our services to fit our clients’ existing business processes, while consistently producing high quality drawings at sensible, transparent cost. We have the following advantages which will surely add value to their business.

·Superior technology -- without capital investment
·Professional UK trained management with UK work experience

·Quick turnaround time enables faster development and on time delivery of the project.
·Security and managed risks by gaining access to UK trained support manpower in a remote location
·Better control, coordination and enhanced performance through responsible outsourcing.

The advantages we have in our company are that people with UK/Irish experience, but most importantly we can allow you to run a virtual 24 hour a day operation due to time difference. With the advantages of e-mail and telephone, we can brief each other at days end/days beginning and when you get into the office an updated set of drawings/images, can be waiting for you, done overnight during your unproductive night.


I would like to have a feedback from you in relation to this CAD outsourcing partnership and would like to have an appointment to discuss about it over telephone. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
