What that means

A Built team of 5 delivers the output of 8–9 U.S. hires, for 20–30% less.

2–2.5x more output per dollar

U.S. cost uses the national median salary for each role (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025) and doesn’t include benefits, payroll taxes or recruiting, so real savings are usually higher. Built ranges are based on teams running on the AI OS; we’ll give you exact numbers on a call.

The Built OS, in this role

Same job. Done with AI.

Every CAD, BIM & Design Production team is trained and certified on the Built OS before day one. Here’s what that looks like in the work.

Standards checks

Sheets checked against your CAD and BIM standards before they reach your reviewer.

Redline intake

Marked-up PDFs turned into a tracked list of changes, so nothing gets missed.

Scripted repetitive work

Tagging, sheet setup and renumbering handled with Dynamo and scripts.

Questions,
answered.

Whose software licenses do they use?

Your call. The team can work in your licensed environment or on licenses we provide.

Do they work in U.S. conventions?

Yes, imperial units and U.S. drawing conventions. Code interpretation and stamping stay with your licensed professionals.

Can capacity flex with project load?

Yes. Add production capacity when a project lands and scale back when it wraps.
