    CA x10 drafter wanted

    in Seeking Services

    Posted

    Hi, 

    I am looking for an expert CA X10 drafter to subcontract my construction documents to.  Glitch is you need to be within 1 hour drive of Watsonville, CA. 95076. I have used remote people and they have been very good at there job but I have not been able to make  remote communication work. I need some one I can sit with and redline projects. And the work needs to be in my templates and drawn in my style. Otherwise I can't easily edit revisions. Any one out there?

    My Best,

    Sub Drafting

    Marsh Job:

    Helle and Jason  Marsh

    Adams Rd, Los Gatos CA

    Apn 098 331 07

     

    I would like to collaborate with another draftsman to complete construction documents for this client. As soon as possible.

    A 3200 sort of farm house design.

    He has a floor plan from an internet add that he likes and wants to modify. He has supplied a bit hard to read red line.

     The first thing would be to have me explain that. It’s not going to be more that coping the plan off the advertisement page and me explaining the client red lines.

     Please supply a quote for floor plans and elevations with dimensions and my typ annotation. Which I will supply examples of per my previously completed projects. I will send my template pln as a starter file. And figure in 4 hours of meeting time with me. Meeting via ZOOM I think will work well.

    We need to be working in X9.

    I would like your quote and 3 references please.

    I invite you to check me out on my web site.  chadwilliamsdesign.com

    The project info is available in a dropbox folder link is –

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ydsm6ormf2x8fhr/AAAjYherJJCOJ7J9rWXHJkySa?dl=0

    Feel free to email any questions.

    What is most important to me is our ability to communicate very clearly. Work in a timely, reliable manner and absolute accuracy.

    Hello, 

    I am a CA designer in Watsonville, Calif. . I have an over load of work and need help. The rub is how to get another drafter to draw the "way" I do ( I can forward templates and old work layouts )  and what it will cost me. I have a couple of small remodels I may have to turn down if I can't get help. I have  a second version of CA that can be used if necessary too. Give me a cal or email. 831. 588.9792 .   designbychad@gmail.com. Oh and please send me a resume and references too. 

    Thanks,

    Disto And Chief

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Hi All, 

    I just got a Disto  and can not in any way get it to work with the full version -x6 of Chief on my windows 8.1 PC. I know the device works - can use it on my phone - I know the disto is paired but chief will not see it. And most of the times I tried - like 20 - the transfer software disconnects. 

    My thinking this technology is not up to speed. Any body got it working on a windows 8 PC ?

    Hi, 

    I am re-posting this listing. I have an extra X6 license I got hoping to hire help but has not worked out.  SSA is good till Aug. 7. If you get it and you re up the SSA you get X7  when come out for the cost of the SSA. I am asking $2000. This gets you into a year of SSA and the new X7 for $2400. A good savings. 

    Thanks,
