Your hours, not ours
The team works US Eastern hours. A markup sent at 4pm gets picked up the same afternoon, not overnight in a timezone twelve hours away.
About
A drafting studio run by an architect.
Dajer & Co exists because production drawing work is a discipline in its own right — and because most firms would rather their architects spent the afternoon designing than redrawing a schedule.
The practice
Drawing is not the leftover work.
Dajer & Co is the production arm of a practice that also designs. That matters more than it sounds: the people drawing your sections have detailed their own buildings, argued with their own contractors, and been on the receiving end of a set that didn't hold together.
So the work is read, not just traced. If a detail doesn't resolve, or a schedule contradicts a plan, you hear about it while there is still time to decide — rather than finding it in a RFI three weeks later.
The studio is led by Carla Rodríguez, an architectural designer and the owner of Dajer & Co, with a small permanent team and a bench of specialist drafters brought in by discipline.
We are deliberately not an architect of record: the set is produced for your review, under your seal, on your standards, and that boundary is what makes the arrangement work. When a package does need a seal, we can arrange it through licensed partners — in Florida, structural sets are sealed through our FL-licensed engineer.
How we're set up
Built to be handed work, not managed.
Files where you keep them
Work lands in your SharePoint folder structure, in your naming convention. Nothing arrives as a zip attached to an email thread.
Tracked, so it can be audited
Every task sits on a project board and every hour is logged against it. The itemised time log attached to your invoice is the same record we manage the work from.
Checked before it reaches you
Nothing is delivered without a second pair of eyes against your standard. Reviewing our drawings is not part of your job.
What we sign up to
Three criteria, written into the agreement.
Every Dajer & Co client agreement defines acceptance the same way. These are contract terms, not values on a wall.
Adherence to the client's standards.
Acceptance criterion 01
Timeliness of deliveries and communication.
Acceptance criterion 02
Technical accuracy achieved by the team.
Acceptance criterion 03
The studio
The short version.
A sister practice, Dajer Studio, handles architecture and interior design work directly. Dajer & Co is the production side, and works only as a subcontracted studio to other firms.
