testimonials

" ...I would just like to say how impressed we are with your service. We have had excellent feedback from our clients, and our workshops have commented on the clarity of the drawings, which have greatly improved our efficiency in the manufacturing process. You have provided us with a very fast, accurate and cost effective service, and are highly recommended. "

Dean Maidstone - Technical Manager
Alloy Fabweld Ltd.

" ...We have been utilising Drawtech’s services for the past few years, where they have provided Hillcrest with an invaluable service in supplying additional resource, particularly where we have required a prompt turnaround on projects. We have primarily used their drawing editing services, which have been undertaken to our satisfaction and we would have no hesitation in using their drawing services should the need arise in the future. "

Stuart Wareham - Drawing Office Manager
Hillcrest Structural Ltd

" ...Drawtech provided us with a valuable service in customising our drawing style output on Advance Steel. The improvements made have saved us a lot of time editing our drawings and the cost of the customisation work was very quickly recovered. Before the improvements, the drawing time allocated often went over, but now we have been coming in under the budgeted hours. I have no hesitation in recommending Drawtech. "

James Hutchins - Design Manager

" ...we have known Dave Gronow for many years through his association with CADS and the Advance Steel software that we use in house. His knowledge of Advance Steel is second to none and he has ensured our successful and efficient implementation of the software. Since Drawtech were established in 2007 we have used them on many projects and are always our first choice when we need extra detailing resources. Their extensive detailing experience really shines through with their knowledge, professionalism, communication and attention to detail. These qualities have enabled some particularly complex projects to run very smoothly from start to finish through detailing, fabrication and erection. We have no hesitation in recommending their services. Examples of recent projects are the completion of a curved Cinema Auditorium in Eastleigh, complete detailing of waste processing plant tower structure at Hythe and the detailing of a structural steel frame to form new restaurant area for DSTL site. "

John Bennett - Drawing Office Manager
Hawk Structures Ltd.

"The exceptional service that Dave provides has enabled us to use Advance Steel in a way we could have never imagined possible. Dave has a vast knowledge of the software and his patience and understanding towards our staff throughout training is remarkable. We feel confident taking on more complex projects knowing that we have an expert to help us through should we need it."

Tom Baker - Managing Director
Baker Steel Trading Ltd

" ...we have used Dave Gronow of Drawtech for all our configuration, customisation and support of AdvanceSteel and his knowledge and experience has proved invaluable. He responds promptly to queries and has always managed to either swiftly resolve our problems or at least suggest suitable alternative fixes with the least possible disruption to our operation. Furthermore he has given us advice and guidance on more general issues including those involving AutoCAD, Windows operating systems and even hardware which has been beyond his normal remit. It is fair to say that our implementation of AdvanceSteel would not have been as successful and efficient as it currently is without the input of Dave Gronow, and we intend to continue to use Drawtech's services in the future development of our CAD systems.
