What is the process flow of the project?

1. Client sends the project description with complete instructions for our review and analysis, by email or using a secured FTP (file transfer protocol) site, to be provided by ESI. We ask for samples (in cad format) similar in nature and other standards to help us easily understand your office standards.

2. We do an estimate for the schedule and quotation for the cost, and send it to the client for approval.

3. We work on the task given applying the agreed schedule and once completed upload the files back to the client (through email or FTP).

4. The client reviews the completed job then confirms acceptance or sends us revisions if need be for our immediate update.

5. ESI quotes for the turnaround time and surcharges if any for the revisions or updates.

6. Once approval is received via email, revisions are executed. Once done, ESI will inform the client that revised files are ready for downloading.

7. Once the client is satisfied, ESI sends over an electronic invoice to the client.

How can payments be made?

When the schedule and cost are acknowledged, we normally ask 50% down payment and 50% upon completion and client acceptance of our work.

How is quality assured?

We implement three levels of quality checking before sending the job back to our clients. Our CAD encoders, after completing a certain task, have it plotted and initially review the drawings per item. Our project coordinators then check the drawing making sure that all the instructions and standards given by the client are implemented. Finally experienced project managers make sure that the drafting standards, instructions, client standards, and speed versus quality are all met.
