Why U.S. Survey Firms Choose RRA

Built for the work survey firms actually do.

Not generic CAD outsourcing. A drafting team that understands ALTA standards, title commitments, deadlines, and the pressure of survey project delivery.

02

Overnight Production

The India–U.S. time zone difference keeps work moving while your team is offline. Drafting continues overnight — reducing turnaround on tight deadlines.

IST → EST advantage

Drafting Capacity

Add overflow capacity during peak workload without expanding in-house staffing. Available project-by-project or as ongoing drafting support.

Flexible engagement
04

Quality-Focused Workflow

Internal QA/QC review on every drawing before delivery — layer checks, annotation review, metes & bounds verification, formatting standards.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How does the small trial project work? +
Upload a small project — typically a single drawing or short scope. We'll review the requirements, confirm scope and turnaround, complete drafting through our standard QA/QC process, and deliver in your preferred format. No long-term commitment is required. The trial is designed to let you evaluate quality, responsiveness, and workflow fit before expanding support.
What's your typical turnaround time? +
Average turnaround is 24–48 hours for standard drafting tasks. For larger ALTA surveys or multi-deliverable projects, timelines are confirmed during scope review. The India–U.S. time zone difference means work can continue overnight while your team is offline — often compressing total elapsed time.
How do you handle NDAs and project confidentiality? +
We routinely work under client NDAs and confidentiality agreements. Project files are accessed only by assigned drafting personnel, stored securely, and deliverables can be returned and source files purged on request after delivery.
What file formats do you deliver in? +
Standard deliverables include DWG (AutoCAD, Civil 3D), PDF, and supporting files per project specs. We also work with Carlson Software, MicroStation, and Revit when project requirements call for them.
What U.S. survey standards do you work with? +
ALTA / NSPS Land Title Survey standards including Table A items, Schedule B exception plotting, and certification requirements. We also work with client-specific drafting templates, layer standards, annotation conventions, and state-specific drafting requirements.
How does pricing work? Project-based or monthly? +
Both options are available. Project-by-project pricing for one-off drafting tasks, and dedicated CAD support models for firms with recurring workload — providing reliable monthly capacity. Pricing is confirmed after scope review and depends on project complexity, turnaround, and deliverable format.

Falling behind on survey drafting deadlines?

When project volume increases, drafting becomes the bottleneck. We help survey firms add capacity, maintain turnaround, and keep projects moving.
