ABOUT

MicroCADD Solutions provides high quality BIM and CAD computer drafting instruction and services. We provide computer drawing support for all phases of a project life-cycle.

MicroCADD Solutions was incorporated in 1991 and began with a team of architects and interior designers on a project documenting approximately a third of a million square feet for the Joint Chiefs of Staff space in the Pentagon. The first project was completed on time and under budget, despite ever-changing plans. Since then, MicroCADD Solutions has been assisting firms in BIM and CAD implementation, both instructor led and online training as well as assisting in computer drafting. Many of our clients have been using our services for over 10 years.

Client Testimonial

“Not only was [Ms. Shipley] able to come into projects in various design stages and pick up the Revit drawings and produce on demand, but more importantly she helped other designers in the office upgrade their Revit skills as well. She assisted us in setting up drawing standards and templates.

Her dual experience as a Revit instructor and producing contract documents in a design firm gives her the unique perspective of not only teaching students how to use the software, but what is important for them to know to set drawings up correctly for the end deliverables. This skill sets her apart from most instructors. She knows what she is teaching as well as why she is teaching it.”
