JohnJatwinget Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) I’m a design-build contractor in the Indianapolis area looking for an experienced Chief Architect user for ongoing drafting and plan production. I currently do the Chief work myself and have experience with wall assemblies, roofs, framing plans, elevations, details, 3D modeling, and layouts. Drafting has become a bottleneck, and I’m looking for someone who can take over the heavy lifting without constant step-by-step direction. For most projects, I can provide: Field measurements and as-built information LiDAR-generated as-built DWG files Surveys, photos, sketches, and existing plans Detailed project direction and construction requirements Previous Chief files and plan sets showing how I’ve approached things—the good and the bad I’ll remain involved in design and construction decisions, but need someone who can turn that information into clean, coordinated .plan and .layout files. Our work includes remodels, additions, custom homes, basement finishes, and detached structures. Experience with existing-condition modeling, grade and elevation extrapolation, roofs, foundations, framing plans, sections, elevations, layouts, and permit/construction sets is important. Accurate, buildable models and organized files matter far more to me than rendering. We would establish a consistent Winget Homes format based on my previous work, while improving the templates, annotation, organization, and presentation. I know Chief well enough to communicate clearly and review the work, but the right person should be able to run circles around me in production. This would begin with a paid trial project and could become steady ongoing work. Fast turnaround is helpful; reliable and predictable turnaround is more important. US time-zone required; absolutely no offshore resourcing. If interested, please send me a private message or email jarad@wingetdevelopment.com with: Examples of complete Chief Architect plan sets Your Chief version and experience Hourly or project rates Current availability and time zone Relevant remodel, addition, or LiDAR/DWG experience Edited July 28 by JohnJatwinget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinisha Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Hi Jarad, I came across your post on ChiefTalk and would like to express my interest in working with Winget Homes. I have more than 10 years of experience creating construction drawings and 3D models using Chief Architect for residential projects, including remodels, additions, custom homes, basement finishes, garages, decks, pergolas, and new home construction. I am comfortable producing complete permit and construction drawing sets, including existing-condition models, framing plans, roof plans, foundation plans, elevations, sections, details, and coordinated .plan and .layout files. I'm very familiar with working from field measurements, DWG files, surveys, sketches, and photos, and I have extensive experience converting AutoCAD drawings into accurate Chief Architect models. I focus on producing clean, organized, and buildable models rather than presentation renderings. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent company standard and would be happy to work within your established Winget Homes format while helping improve templates, annotations, and file organization. Chief Architect Experience: 10+ years (currently using Chief Architect X17) Availability: Full-time and available for ongoing work with reliable turnaround. I regularly work with U.S. clients and can align my working hours with your schedule. Rate: Negotiable depending on the scope of work (hourly or fixed-price per project). I'd be happy to complete a paid trial project to demonstrate the quality of my work. I can also share examples of complete Chief Architect plan sets that I've produced for remodels, additions, decks, and custom residential projects. I look forward to hearing from you.
