CoastalChief Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 As the title states, I'm in need of a competent draftsperson to take my project and package up into a presentable plan set. Project is for a SFD remodel with minor addition located near the SF Bay Area. Ideal candidate would have experience in working with building/planing departments in coastal CA and understand the numerous additional requirements they have. Things such as Title 24 req's, best management practices & CA green language. I have a mostly complete .plan that I've created in Chief x13. Though, my skillset is amateur at best. So I'd like to bring in a pro to button things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decorationarts Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Renee Rabbit is in your area. There are a few others in the East Bay and vicinity that can help if he is too busy I'm in the Gold Country, but on occasion take a project in the Bay Area, having grown up in Marin.

Decorationarts Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 California might be the most difficult building code in the world The Bay Area the worst You could expect 40% of your time in project management. Drawing is the easy part You can be looking at a year out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdfales Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hi All My name is Jonathan Fales and I have been drawing plans and pulling permits all over the California Bay Area for over a decade now. A tremendous amount of my work is done through Via Builders Inc out of Los Altos, CA . Most everything you see on that website had me as the lead draftsman. I have answered comments and argued points with every municipality around. On the side I operate JDFales Plans & Permits where I currently have projects all over the state and even a few out of state jobs from time to time. Aside from traditional residential plans and permits I've traced PDFs, Made 3D models, added notations to already created plans.....you name it. I can do it. My background before drawing was construction of course. I've been a laborer, carpenter, project manager and now Draftsman. If you need to make sense out of construction jargon from a contractor or technical talk from the city/ county...I'm your translator.
