Architectural Designer – Adapt BC Standardized ADU01 into Permit-Ready Plan Set Ended
About the job
Description:
We are seeking an architectural designer to review ADU01 from the BC Standardized Housing Design Catalogue and develop it into a permit-ready plan set except for some items as noted at the end of this post. This job is focused on the primary structural elements of the building itself; the other plans, surveys, and landscaping to be added at a later date.
Scope (This Project):
- Develop a complete CAD plan set for ADU01.
- Ensure compliance with BC Building Code and municipal permitting standards.
- Emphasis on structure and safety (Braced wall panels, handrails & guards, etc)
- MEP scope: include only essential fixture symbols and code-required notes (e.g., plumbing fixture layout, HRV location, smoke/CO detectors). Full MEP design and load calculations will be handled by trades/engineers during permitting
Purpose:
This is a pilot project to establish workflow, quality, and compatibility. If successful, additional work will follow:
- Other designs from the BC catalogue.
- Designs from other jurisdictions
- Variations of existing catalogue units (ex. substituting a hip roof with a low-slope roof).
What We’re Looking For:
- Background in architectural design with proven experience in permit-ready drawings.
- Familiarity with the BC building code and municipal submission standards - Specifically for Victoria BC.
- Ability to balance standardized catalogue compliance with practical construction detail.
- Clear communication and ability to docu... read more

Deliverable:
- Permit-ready CAD plan set for ADU01, suitable for municipal submission, with essential MEP notes (but no detailed MEP design), and BCBC2024 code references placed at the relevant points on the drawing.
- Full editable source files (RVT or DWG) along with PDFs.
- All intellectual property and usage rights will transfer to us upon payment. We require exclusive ownership of the adapted plan sets.
- We prefer Revit files but may accept AutoCAD drafting for the pilot project.
