Kevinleite Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Hi, I’m interested in this. I work in Chief Architect and can jump into an existing model without rebuilding the project from scratch. For this review I’d go through the 8-unit set floor by floor and check the drafting, dimensions, windows/doors, stairs, framing, TJI/LVL layout, attic mechanical rooms, and the vertical duct chase from the attic down to the mudroom. I’d also check for conflicts between the framing, ductwork, plumbing, stairs, and openings, then mark everything clearly before making the agreed corrections in Chief. I can provide the redlined PDF, corrected Chief file, and a short correction list. Zoom screen-share meetings are fine. Based on the scope, I’d allow roughly 20–30 hours total, depending on how clean the current Chief file is and how many corrections are needed. I can give you a tighter number once I review the current file and the City comments. Send me the Chief Architect file, submitted PDF set, and Norwalk correction comments. I can review them right away. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
