Surface what's worth a second look — before your client does.
Cobaltian audits and automates the space between CAD, PDFs, schedules, revisions, and transmittals — so stale PDFs, title-block and register drift, and schedule/drawing inconsistencies don't ride along into issue.
Run by someone with hands-on substation E&I drafting experience, working toward his FE and EE degree. Every engagement is QA and automation support under your engineer of record — Cobaltian doesn't verify engineering, stamp drawings, or replace your review process.
The stuff that slips through before issue
None of this is exotic. It's the same handful of failure modes, repeating across every package, because nobody has time to check for them by hand on every revision.
-
Stale PDFs
A schedule gets revised and half the sheet set still points at last week's PDF.
-
Title-block & register drift
Revision blocks, sheet numbers, and the drawing register quietly stop agreeing with each other.
-
Schedule/drawing inconsistencies
Cable schedules, panel schedules, and one-lines disagree by the time the package is issued.
-
Transmittal errors
The wrong revision goes out — or the right one goes to the wrong distribution list.
Package readiness, checked the way a reviewer actually checks it
- Cable & panel schedule reconciliation Cables and conductors cross-checked against what's actually drawn — orphans and mismatches flagged, not just listed.
- Drawing-set markup Severity-coded findings placed directly on the sheets, numbered and trackable through resolution.
- Register & transmittal audit Drawing register, title blocks, and transmittal history checked for drift before they reach your client.
- Automation handoff, if you want it Where the same fix repeats across a package, we can build the tool that does it once instead of by hand every time.
Start small, or go straight to automation
Every tier stands on its own. A risk scan never obligates an automation sprint.
-
01
Mini Package Review
$1,000–$2,500
A focused pass on one package or discipline. Findings report, no automation. The way to try this out.
-
02
Drawing-Package Risk Scan
$4,000–$8,000
Full-package audit: schedules, register, title blocks, transmittals. Color-coded findings workbook you can hand straight to your team.
-
03
Automation Sprint
$18,000–$35,000
We build the specific tool or script that removes the repeat manual work the scan found — scoped to what the scan actually showed.
-
04
Ops Retainer
$2,000–$6,000/mo
Ongoing QA support and automation upkeep across live packages, as revisions keep moving.
Four steps, no procurement theater
-
Send the package
PDFs, CAD, schedules, whatever you have today — however it's organized.
-
We run the scan
Cross-checked against the schedules, register, and transmittal history.
-
You get a findings report
Color-coded, numbered, and specific — what's wrong, where, and how bad.
-
Fix it yourself, or have us automate it
The report is yours either way. Automation is a separate, optional step.
Hands-on substation E&I experience, working toward licensure
Cobaltian is Dustin — working substation E&I design and drafting day to day, pursuing his FE this year and his EE degree next. Cobaltian doesn't verify or certify engineering work — it surfaces the drift, inconsistencies, and drafting gotchas worth a second look, the kind of pattern years of hands-on drafting teaches you to catch, so your own engineer of record can decide what to act on.
Planning to focus on Texas and the wider Gulf South (OK / LA / AR / NM) first, with remote engagements considered elsewhere, once open.
