Our Story

The company started back in 1988 with the vision of Jaime Birmaher who recognized the emergence of PC based CADD applications, and the large potential for growth with these tools in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction practices.

Jaime Birmaher, originally from Colombia, graduated from FIT (Florida Institute of Technology) with a Bachelors of Science degree and a Masters in Engineering Management. In 1988, Mr. Birmaher incorporated Digital Drafting Systems. The company’s first office was established in Coral Gables to service the AEC firms in the area. At this time, the company’s main objective was to help its customers understand the advantages of Computer Aided Design & Drafting (CADD) and to assist them to make a smooth transition from manual drafting to this new technology. DDS offered complete PC based CADD solutions, including hardware, software and plotters. Services provided included: set up and installation, implementation, training and support. DDS quickly became well known in South Florida for providing personalized reliable service and support.
