Benefits of Using Drafting Marketplace for Drafters

At the end of the day, a drafter’s goal is to do a job well done. Sometimes doing so can be challenging due to the common challenges faced by drafters, such as incomplete/missing project information, inadequate timeframes, or even lack of communication. These are just a few of the challenges faced; however, Drafting Marketplace aims to be a platform that solves these challenges and more, making it easier than ever to find adequate jobs!

Check Out These 10 Benefits for Drafters: 

Scheduling

Drafting Marketplace streamlines the process of finding jobs. It brings glazing contractors and drafters to one platform and eliminates the “feast or famine” for drafters. A tremendous benefit of Drafting Marketplace is the ability to control your workload to fit a specific schedule.

Payment

Having to chase payment after completing a job is a hassle and time-consuming. At Drafting Marketplace, it's required to send payment upon delivery. Doing so relieves the uneasiness associated with waiting for payment.

Advertising 

We all know advertising is expensive and laborious to manage. On top of that, website design and upkeep can be costly. Because of that, Drafting Marketplace takes care of everything for you. We provide an all-in-one platform where broadcasting your company and its industry expertise is easy and allows potential customers to learn more about your company.

Ratings 

Here at Drafting Marketplace, we believe in giving credit where credit is due. When you do a great job, you get credit for it - simple as that. In addition, you can showcase a job well done because when you get hosed by a customer, you get to let people know about it. 

Adequate Information

We realized that the more information there is in the beginning, the more efficient jobs can be. Unfortunately, a recurring problem within the industry today is incomplete information. Incomplete information can lead to immense amounts of wasted time and resources. Therefore, to avoid that, Drafting Marketplace made it easy for glazing contractors to enter the complete details of the job for more accurate pricing while the bidding is going on. This feature also allows the drafter to know in detail what the job is. 

Innovative News & Techniques 

Not only does Drafting Marketplace provide an exceptional platform for glazing contractors and drafters to interact, but it provides a platform to learn about industry news and trends. We publish blogs on a weekly basis that feature insight from industry experts and keep you up to date on industry news.

Organization

Drafting Marketplace will be a one-stop shop containing all of your past and current projects – within each of the projects, you can view the job info, conversation history, drawing files, specification files, photos, job-specific details, previously answered questions, payment status/reminders, and lead time status/reminders. These details are grouped by the project to save drafters time and energy that could go towards completing more jobs.

Automation

Drafting Marketplace is all about making things easier and faster. Imagine no more cold calling, leaving messages, time wasting back and forth, or waiting on job info. Well, stop imagining because your wish came true. On our platform, glazing contractors upload everything necessary for the project. Once that’s done, drafters can review the details and decide if you’d like to bid on the project. The glazing contractors are then notified of the bid, which they can decline or accept.

Specialization

Life happens, and at Drafting Marketplace we understand that. That’s why we created a platform where you can choose jobs based on availability. On our platform, you will have hundreds of jobs to select from based on the type and timeframes. For example, need to do a quick job? Cool, choose something with a small time frame. Or, only want to work on windows? That’s fine. Filter the results so only window jobs appear. Only want storefront or curtain wall jobs? Okay, enough of that - I think you get the idea.

Communication 

Because every step of the process happens on Drafting Marketplace itself, no more having to fear losing an important email or contact. On our platform, we provide a dedicated space, organized by project, where all communication happens. Now, you never have to worry about losing any meaningful information.

Drafting Marketplace understands the needs of glazing contractors and drafters. That is why our mission is to mitigate many of the common problems experienced in the industry.
