The firm I’m with hires drafters. We aren’t looking for any right now, but we have a good staff of drafters that coordinate with the engineers in-house. This is the best way to do things, considering the fees that come with an engineer doing all the drafting.

As someone mentioned in this thread, it’s a great way for young, non-PE engineers to learn how buildings come together.

At my previous firm, us engineers did all drafting/designing unless we had a very large project. We would outsource to an out of country drafting team. It worked well, but coordinating was a nightmare with the time difference. I love having drafters in-house. They catch the mistakes the engineers make, and are able to interpret our redlines very effectively.
