Seeking Experienced Chief Architect Designer for Virtual Drafting Support

[dignan]

We’re looking to partner with a skilled Chief Architect designer to support our residential remodeling company on a range of upcoming projects including additions, basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and full-plan drafting.

 

We’re based in New Hampshire and handle all client-facing design meetings in person. What we’re looking for is a virtual partner who can:

 

• Work independently and efficiently in Chief Architect

• Tackle 85 to 100% of the drafting work from our design concepts, site photos, and measurements

• Provide editable CA files for our internal team in order to make changes and/or finalize following client meetings and/or after job kickoff if edits are needed

• Be comfortable working in a collaborative, iterative virtual environment

• Ideally have experience with virtual workflows and clear file-sharing practices

 

This would be an ongoing, project-based relationship, not a one-time gig. The ability to meet reasonable turnaround timelines and communicate clearly is important to us. Once projects are under construction, we may loop back to you for any major plan modifications, but we’ll typically own the final design edits and revisions.

 

If you’re interested, please share:

 

• A few examples of past work

• Your typical turnaround time

• Your version of Chief Architect

• Your availability and rate structure

 

Thanks in advance—we’re excited to find a great partner!

 

Best,

Jill Dignan

Dear Jill,

I’m excited about the opportunity to partner with your residential remodeling company as a virtual Chief Architect designer. With extensive experience in drafting for additions, basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and full-plan projects, I’m confident I can support your team efficiently and collaboratively.

Here’s what I offer:

• Proficiency in Chief Architect: I work with Chief Architect Premier X15 (compatible with newer/older versions) and deliver clean, editable .plan files for seamless internal edits.

• Turnaround Time: Typical timelines range from 3–7 days per project (depending on scope/complexity), with flexibility to accommodate urgent requests.

• Virtual Workflow Expertise: I use Dropbox, Google Drive, or FTP for organized file sharing and markups, ensuring smooth collaboration.

• Portfolio Samples: Attached/Linked are examples of past work, including:

  • Kitchen remodels with custom cabinetry + elevations

  • Basement finish plans with egress/details

  • Addition drafting with structural annotations

• Rates: My project-based rates typically range from $50 to $1200 (or $17/hour), depending on scope. Happy to discuss a structure that aligns with your workflow.

• Availability: I’m currently open to taking on 6-10Sample - Blue Print.pdf projects per month and can scale as needed.

I’d love to schedule a quick call to discuss your upcoming projects and how I can streamline your drafting process. Let me know a convenient time, or feel free to reply with any questions!

Best regard
