Drafting and CAD outsourcingto India, for Canadian utilities.
Spanex Engineering is a distribution design production practice in Bengaluru. Canadian utilities and consultancies outsource AutoCAD drafting, GIS-to-CAD conversion, SPIDAcalc pole loading and landbase preparation to our team — produced overnight to your CAD standard, checked by a lead, and returned ready for your professional's seal.
Outsourcing distribution drafting to India is a capacity decision, not a cost gamble. You keep design authority, standards and the professional seal in-house, and hand the production hours — drafting, conversion and loading analysis — to a team that works to your template overnight.
We are an independent production partner. Every package is drafted in your CAD standard, self-checked, then reviewed by a lead before it reaches you. The two services teams outsource most — AutoCAD drafting and GIS-to-CAD conversion — anchor the practice, with SPIDAcalc pole loading, landbase and joint-use analysis alongside.

- Onboarding
- You send your CAD standard, sample sheets and a pilot package. We match your layers, blocks, xrefs and title block before production drafting begins.
- Data & security
- Work runs under NDA on access-controlled machines. Source data stays in your systems or a shared workspace you own; we do not resell or reuse project data.
- CAD standard
- We adopt your standard, not ours — so packages pass your CAD check on the first submission rather than being reworked to fit your template.
- Turnaround
- Our team in Bengaluru works against your time zone. Small packages return within 48 hours; a run sent at end of day is on your desk the next morning.
- Review
- A lead reviews every package against your standard and the analysis before release. Your licensed professional reviews and seals the final work.
- Scaling
- Scale a run up or down by the project. You add drafting and analysis capacity without hiring, training or carrying idle salaried time.
Outsourcing, answered
Which drafting services can you outsource to India?
AutoCAD drafting, GIS-to-CAD conversion and mapping, SPIDAcalc pole loading, landbase preparation, joint-use pole loading and telecom attachment design. Each has a dedicated page describing scope, software and compliance.
Is offshore CAD drafting secure?
Yes. Work runs under NDA on access-controlled machines. Source data stays in your systems or a workspace you own, and we do not resell or reuse project data. Access is limited to the staff assigned to your project.
Do you draft to our CAD standard or your own?
Yours. We load your layering, blocks, xrefs and title block before drafting, so packages pass your CAD standards check on the first submission rather than being reworked.
How does the overnight turnaround work?
Our team in Bengaluru works against your time zone. A package sent at the end of your day is produced overnight and returned the next morning, so your local staff review rather than draft. Small packages typically return within 48 hours.
Can you handle GIS-to-CAD conversion as part of outsourced work?
Yes. We reconcile ArcGIS and QGIS parcel, asset and network layers into coordinate-true DWG aligned to your project datum, with attributes mapped to your CAD layer schema rather than flattened to geometry.
Do we still need a licensed engineer on our side?
Yes. We are a production practice, not a licensed engineering firm in your jurisdiction. We produce review-ready drafting and analysis; your licensed professional reviews and seals the work.
How do you price outsourced drafting?
Per project, against defined scope and standards. Send scope, standards and source data and you receive a fixed schedule and a quote the same business day — you pay for the work, not for idle salaried capacity.
Send us a pilot package.
Send scope, your CAD standard and source data. We reply the same business day with a fixed schedule and a quote — start with one package before you commit a program.
