Seeking Chief Architect Drafter / Residential Designer for Addition Project

[EYDER118]

I own a kitchen and bath studio in Portland, Maine, and I’m looking for someone experienced in Chief Architect to help with a personal residential project. (I specialize in interiors and this is a whole different ball game.

 

The main need is for a complete set of construction/building plans for a two-story garage addition with a two-bedroom apartment above, along with a rooftop deck/balcony connector that ties the addition back to the main house.

 

I have been working through the design in Chief Architect and have a clear overall direction, but I could also use a second set of experienced eyes on the scale, proportions, rooflines, and how the addition relates to the existing house. I’m looking for someone who can help refine the design as needed and then produce the plan set. I have added a rendering of the exterior below. 

 

I have the original house plans, measurements, concept images, and a Chief Architect model that can be used as a starting point or reference.

Experience with New England homes, traditional architecture, or carriage-house style additions would be a plus.

 

Please reach out if this is the type of project you’d be interested in discussing.

Thnanks!

Hi,

I’d be interested in helping with this project. I have experience using Chief Architect for residential design and construction drawings and would be happy to review your existing model and assist with design refinement and plan production.

 Please let me know if you’d like to discuss the scope and next steps.

Best regards,

I believe I am a perfect fit for what you are looking for. I am a freelance draftsman and render artist specializing in Chief Architect (full CAD REVIT capacity), Blender 3.64, Lumion, D5 Render and Photoshop. 

 

I am well versed with IBC and ICC standards and local building codes (once you tell me what state and county your build is located in)

 

I draft; 

Elevations 

Residential Floorpans 

Commercial Floorplans

DRO/SRO shelter housing space plans 

Site plans (if you have the survey I can add point elevations on the site plan)

Eminent domain site plan conversions

HVAC plans

Electrical Plans

Framing plans (if using truss your manufacturer can provide me with the .dwg file of their stamped drawings)

Structural Steel Plans

Foundation plans

Finish fixture and material plans

Cabinet legends

Custom CAD blocks for structural framing and concrete, I have also created custom CAD blocks for wells and septic.

Window and door legends (dimensions only unless you have a benchmark brand in mind)

Chief architect renders

Lumion retextured renders

Photoshop post production 

Lumion 30 second video walk throughs (4-8 hour render process times per 30 seconds of finished clip)

 

I support large corporations, developers, architects, interior designers and contractors in creating beautiful interior and exterior design renderings, plans and elevations to present to their clients.

 

I can create virtually any rendering or elevation desired. For example:

 

- All interior residential renderings floorplans  and elevations such as Kitchen and Bathroom renderings, including cabinetry schedules and plumbing fixture placement elevations 

 

- Commercial large offices, retail spaces, warehouse factories, restaurants, stadiums, concert halls, and hotels

 

- Exterior commercial and residential renders

 

I have earned all my 5 star reviews on my upwork profile that illustrate my skill set and perhaps more importantly, my work ethic and reliability.

 

My general strategy is to build your design in Chief Architect/sketchup/blender. This is where I can draft your general model, floorplan, elevations, legends, framing, hvac, MEP plans and, if you would like a more photorealistic render with video walkthrough options I can retexture the model in Lumion. If you want specific fixtures or furniture I can model those in blender to bring into the render as well.

 

I pride myself in having one of the fastest turnaround times - if I have all the necessary information available:

 

- Floor plans and/or a matterport

 

- Design color schematics/moodboard

 

- Materials choices already chosen or under review by your client, including notes you might have on specialty design areas.

 

I work hourly contracts only so that I can show you my level of efficiency and detail. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime for a consultation on your project.

I have over 40 years experience in building high end residential renovation, new homes, and green field projects. We have built everything from an addition for a large screen TV, to multi million dollar renovation, to custom homes others could not complete for the clients. 

I am semi retired, I try to do around 20hrs a week. I have experience in Plumbing, HVAC, structural, electrical, and take all of then into account while designing, so our designs can actually be built without major changes. 

 

Let me know if we can help
