HISTORY

Opening its doors in the U.S. in 1993, with its corporate headquarters located in Chicago, IL was first established as BoltCAD Engineering Services. They supported the AECO and Industrial Manufacturing Industries that needed help from their experienced and capable AutoCAD and Microstation CAD drafters working in various business sectors.

In 2000, TDC opened a new division catering to opportunities requiring 3D solid modeling talents supported in Creo/ProE, Autodesk's Inventor, and SolidWorks.

In 2007, it rebranded itself to The Drafting Company Inc., closing down its traditional brick-and-mortar production site while moving Corporate headquarters to St. Louis, MO. Soon after, TDC expanded its capabilities to include BIM services. Plus, it was evolving in offering services to the virtual market, which provides a much lower cost to operate and support clients without limiting the service offered because of distance, which opened up the country and the world by attracting the best talent from anywhere. TDC is agile and is a constant game-changer, especially for 3D modeling. It became evident that TDC would evolve a portion of its already very competent production teams from AutoCAD to the most forward-thinking BIM software package called Revit, which has become the #1 BIM applied software globally that supports the BIM-related AECO industry.

In 2010 TDC extended its U.S.-based production departments to include several international CAD/BIM production offices throughout the world, from Latin America to the Philippines, to Europe, and India, which has proven to be a great combination of strengths extending our team's collaborative working hours daily to over 16 productive hours available Monday through Friday with a single shift working over the weekend when required.

In 2015, TDC grew exponentially while establishing dozens of CAD/BIM sales offices from Coast to Coast strategically located in or around large metropolitan cities forecasted for construction and population growth areas primed to take advantage of BIM. BIM is often referred to as "The Industrial revolution of building construction." by TDC's founder Russell Glencoe, equipped with decades of experience in the AECO and Industrial manufacturing sectors.
