AUTOCAD DRAWINGS IN HINDI

We often work directly with craftsmen and contractors from rural/tribal areas and their labour. Some English words are visually familiar to them. However, if instructions are written in Hindi/Marathi, it becomes easier for their reference. This effort has given us excellent results and a lot of appreciation from workers, contractors and clients alike.

These two drawings are from two different projects. One, a furniture drawing for carpenters for a project in Pune, while the other is a verandah foundation detail drawing for a project in a tribal village near Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh.
