Review by Bob T.in Pacific Grove, CA Project: Draftsperson or CADD Expert (Non-Designer)
After contacting Ability Ventures on the web I got a call right away from Jim. After discussing the scope of work I scheduled and appointment. Jim came out to my house right on time and gave me tips on how to save money. He was professional and doen to earth. Although I did not end up needing blueprints for the permit I got, I would hire Jim again for any larger building plans in the future.
