A client in Phoenix asked me why I still draw everything by hand first

I was showing a client my plans for a custom garage, and he pointed at my hand sketches and said, 'You know, my last guy just went straight to CAD and it was done in half the time.' It made me stop and think about my whole process. I've always believed sketching helps me see the problems before they hit the screen. But now I'm wondering if I'm just being stubborn and adding a full day to every job. Has anyone else switched to direct CAD and found it actually works better?

Ever tried fixing a CAD mistake that would've been obvious on paper?

Obvious on paper"? You still use paper for that stuff?

Ever tried to fix a plumbing layout on a screen that looked perfect? My paper sketches catch those little mistakes every time.
