Case Study: MAC Design and Build achieves 50% faster, error-free designs and 83% cost savings with DraftSight Professional

Growing Custom Cabinetry, Woodworks, and Remodeling Business With DraftSight Professional

MAC Design and Build, a family-owned custom cabinetry, woodworking, and remodeling firm, needed a more cost-effective and reliable 2D CAD solution to speed design of custom cabinets, furniture, doors and built‑ins while eliminating fit errors and lowering software costs. The company adopted DraftSight Professional 2D design software to replace AutoCAD for drawings used in client approvals and shop production.

By implementing DraftSight Professional, MAC Design and Build cut drawing time by 50%, eliminated fit-related errors, and reduced 2D design application costs by 83% (two seats costing roughly $200 vs. $1,200 for AutoCAD), enabling 100% custom builds and supporting year‑over‑year growth (14% increase, $350K to $400K revenue). DraftSight’s ease of use and AutoCAD-like workflow allowed immediate adoption without formal training and increased project throughput and production accuracy.
