How big a project can be handled ?
We can handle big and small projects. A small project of 30hour duration to a complex one, more than 1000 hours can be handled. The client ,upon evaluating our work can then decide to change the working arrangement, by increasing the hours. Once we build a rapport with a client, we can handle projects of any size for that client.

What is the normal procedure you follow for CAD projects?
Clients provide us with the inputs and requirements via e-mail, ftp or as hard copies. We then review the requirements including expected delivery time, and contact client for further clarifications, if any. We then submit quote for the project based on the requirement analysis. We then send status updates and proofs of the project in a pre-defined timely manner. Incorporate changes as per feedback from the client and complete the project, and send it back to the client within the committed delivery time/schedule.
