The difference between crowdsourcing and hiring is that a task is outsourced to a group, rather than a company.Here are some great reasons to use crowdsourcing for your next CAD drafting project.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quality:\u00a0<\/strong>You get to view and approve each designer&#8217;s work before anyone is paid. Usually, you&#8217;d pay the freelancer with the first accurate submission for your project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Budget:\u00a0<\/strong>Using freelancers allows you to choose your own budget, which puts an end cost overrun and time consuming RFPs. With a concrete budget, our freelancers are rewarded based on efficiency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large Projects:\u00a0<\/strong>CAD Crowd works great for large projects. When your work involves multiple drawings or designs (ie.100+), we suggest asking freelancers to finish one drawing as a sample. Then you can ask the designer with the best entry to finish the rest of your project (you can even offer multiple payouts and split a large project between several freelancers).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communication:\u00a0<\/strong>You can speak directly with the designer working on your project, rather working with the business development guy. This eliminates communication based errors. Furthermore, a majority of our freelancers are native English speakers (Canada, the United States, Australia &amp; the UK).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Want to post work your CAD work?
