about saloventis · puritan ave, yonkers

for HVAC contractors and builders who want one desk that picks up.

We’re a small drafting desk. We draw ducts, ventilation schematics and mechanical plan sets, and we’d like to tell you who’s behind the drawings before you send us a job.

01 / a note from the desk

we started because the drawings were always the thing holding up the job.

I spent years watching good mechanical contractors lose days to paperwork. The crew was ready, the equipment was ordered, and the job sat because the duct layout was still a marked-up PDF somebody’s cousin was “getting to.”

So we set up a desk on Puritan Ave and made it do one thing: turn your plans into clean sheets, fast, for a price you know up front. No hourly meter running in the background, no mystery line items. You send the plan, we send a number, and you decide.

We’re small on purpose. When you call, you get the same voice you emailed, and that voice already knows your drawing. We’re a drafting service, not a stamping office. Your engineer seals, we make their review short.

If that sounds like the kind of help you’ve been missing, send over a set. We’d like to draw it.

02 / how we hold ourselves

four habits you’ll notice in every set.

flat price

the number comes first

You get a written price per set before a line is drawn. If the scope changes, we tell you the new number before we touch it.

quote within one business day

one list

questions arrive together

Every open question lands on a single page in the draft, so you answer once instead of fielding ten emails during a pour.

draft PDF with open-items page

readable

sheets a reviewer can follow

Plan tags match the schedules, sheets run in a fixed order, and the airflow reads from intake to exhaust without a phone call.

yours

the files go home with you

PDF and editable DWG, both yours once the invoice is paid. Your next revision doesn’t need us unless you’d like us.

A short ledger of the things people sometimes ask us for. Knowing the edges early saves everyone a week.

  • we don’t

    stamp or seal drawings

    We’re drafters. Where your jurisdiction needs a PE or RA, your engineer seals and we format the sheets to keep that review short.

  • we don’t

    invent load calcs

    Load calcs and CFM targets come from you or your engineer. We lay them out clearly so they’re easy to check.

  • we don’t

    bill by the hour on plan sets

    Sets are flat per set. The only hourly work is redline-to-CAD cleanup at $96 per hour, capped at a number we quote first.

  • we don’t

    hold your files hostage

    Editable DWG ships with every set. No subscription, no portal, no strings.

05 / a day at the desk

what the desk looks like from nine to four-thirty.

Open Monday through Friday 9am–4:30pm and Saturdays 9am–5pm. Closed Sundays, which is when the pencils get sharpened.

  1. 9:00am

    inbox, then plans

    New plans get opened first. Anything that arrived overnight is read and priced so quotes go out the same day or the next.

  2. late morning

    trunks and branches

    Duct routing happens before lunch, when the floor plan is freshest in our heads: trunk sizes, takeoffs, clearances around joists.

  3. after lunch

    schedules and tags

    Equipment, CFM and grille schedules get matched to every tag on the plan, so nothing on the sheet disagrees with itself.

  4. 4:00pm

    the open-items page

    Questions for the day get collected on one page and sent together, so you answer once.

  5. 4:30pm

    pencils down

    Phones are answered until we close. Call (347) 612-5896 and a person picks up.
