Im doing for a few years some architectural designing for architectural firms etc,we also provide some drafting services for a lot of clients in New york,
But lately I'm keeping on hearing from a lot of people and clients that they starting lately to outsource there cad drafting work to other country's like India, china.
so m y question is , is there any way to compete with those firms outside the united states? is there anyway to keep the jobs for our own people ? how could a drafting firm in the usa who has to pay there employees a normal wage compete with prices given by firms who don't have any regulations of minimum wage , or any other benefits for there workers.
So my questions is, is there a way how we could be competitive with firms outside the usa should please reply.
I think you will never ever get the customer support and understanding with a
drafter in china then you have with a local drafter,we have a cad drafting
firm in New York City and we have a lot of clients that tried to work with
drafting firms in china or India , but in the end they all come to an
understanding that no one could replace your local drafter.
If you compete only on price, you already lost. You have to compete with
quality, customer service, and provide the buyer with peace of mind. - That
will be the only way to compete with a competitor where wages are cheaper.
You might think a business in the US does not have advantages, but it does.
To begin with the US based business will most likely know the market better,
and will be able to communicate with the clients more efficiently. Emphasize
your strengths as a counterbalance to the price weakness.
