203kinspector Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I work in Maryland primarily. I'm looking for someone who can seal my plans. It would be great if they worked in Chief Architect so that I don't have to convert everything, but it is not necessary. I would also like to have somebody that I can call and talk to once in a while if I have questions. Thank you. Here is an example of my plans: ACTIVE MIKIYAS KEBEDE 2701 FINCH STSILVER SPRING MD 20902.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While experience with Chief Architect is a plus, it's not essential if they can work from PDFs or DWGs. It's also worth looking for someone who's open to ongoing collaboration, so you have a trusted professional to consult when questions come up.

That makes sense, especially the point about ongoing collaboration. Having someone who can review the plans, work with PDFs or DWGs, and explain what needs to be changed would probably be more useful than finding someone based solely on their experience with Chief Architect. I’d also want to confirm their Maryland licensing and make sure they’re comfortable with the type of project before getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethann Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Hi, I’d be happy to help. I work extensively with Chief Architect for residential plans, construction documents, and detailed drafting, so I can work directly with your existing files without unnecessary conversion. I’m also available for occasional calls to discuss questions, revisions, or project details. I’d be glad to review your sample plans and discuss how I can support your Maryland projects. You can reach me at ethanparker.drafting@gmail.com Best, Ethan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinleite Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Quote Hi, I took a look through your sample set. I’m familiar with this type of Maryland residential addition work and I’m comfortable working with Chief Architect files. The set is pretty well developed, but I wouldn’t just stamp it as-is. I’d first go through the zoning/site information, energy requirements, framing, headers, foundation, connections and calculations, make whatever corrections are needed, and then seal the final set once I’m comfortable with it. Working in Chief Architect is fine, so there’s no need to convert everything just for me. I’m also available by phone when questions come up—that’s usually the easiest way to keep these projects moving. Send me one of your current projects and I can take a look and give you a per-project price. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
