Architectural Designer | Permit Drawings | CAD Expert | MEP Design

Need permit-ready architectural drawings that get approved by the city without endless revision rounds? I deliver coordinated, code-conscious architectural permit sets, construction documents, and Revit BIM models for residential and commercial projects, so you can submit with confidence and move to construction faster. I’m an Architect with 4+ years of experience producing architectural drawings, construction documents, Revit BIM models, AutoCAD drafting, 3D models, renderings, and MEP plans for projects in the US and Canada. I work with homeowners, contractors, builders, designers, and developers to turn sketches, PDFs, existing drawings, and markups into accurate, permit-ready documents that meet local requirements. 🏗️ ARCHITECTURAL PERMIT & CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS ✔ Permit-ready drawing sets and construction documents (CD sets) ✔ Floor plans, elevations, sections, and details ✔ Site plans, foundation plans, framing plans, and roof plans ✔ Door, window, and finish schedules ✔ Revisions and city comment corrections 🏠 RESIDENTIAL DESIGN ✔ Single-family house plans and custom homes ✔ ADU, JADU, and garage conversion design ✔ Home additions, remodels, and renovations ✔ Duplex and multi-unit residential ✔ Carports, patios, porches, decks, and sheds 🏢 COMMERCIAL DESIGN ✔ Commercial tenant improvement (TI) drawings ✔ Commercial fit-outs and space planning ✔ Retail, office, and restaurant layouts 📐 REVIT, AUTOCAD & BIM ✔ Revit BIM modeling and documentation ✔ 3D Revit model from sketches, PDFs, or CAD files ✔ AutoCAD architectural drafting ✔ PDF to AutoCAD, CAD to Revit, and SketchUp to Revit conversion ✔ As-built drawings and existing condition plans ⚙️ MEP DESIGN ✔ MEP and HVAC design ✔ Plumbing and electrical plans ✔ Coordination with licensed engineers when structural or stamped plans are required 🖼️ 3D VISUALIZATION & RENDERING ✔ Photorealistic interior and exterior renderings ✔ 3D architectural modeling and visualization ✔ Architectural walkthroughs and animations 📍 JURISDICTIONS & LOCAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS Permit drawings and residential plans for CA, TX, FL, NC, SC, VA, MD, DE, PA, OH, MN, WA, and Canada, prepared to meet local city and county submittal requirements. ⚡ WHY WORK WITH ME I combine architectural design, BIM modeling, construction documentation, and 3D visualization in one workflow. Your floor plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and 3D model stay coordinated as the project develops, which means fewer errors, easier revisions, and a smoother path to permit approval. 🤝 WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ✔ Reliable turnaround times ✔ Clear, responsive communication ✔ Accurate, easy-to-review drawings ✔ Clean AutoCAD files and well-organized Revit models ✔ Smooth handling of revisions and markups 🛠️ SOFTWARE: Revit | AutoCAD | SketchUp | 3ds Max | D5 Render Whether you need an architectural permit set, construction drawings, a Revit BIM model, AutoCAD drafting, a 3D rendering, a residential design, a commercial design, or MEP drawings, I’ll take your project from concept to design to documentation to visualization to construction. Send me your sketches, PDFs, or project details, and let’s get your project permit-ready. The jurisdictions section is now the only place the states appear, and I cut the separate “States I Serve” list and the state mention in the first paragraph. As before, trim the list to states where you can realistically deliver, since clients there may ask about local code and stamping requirements.
