About
I turn sketches, PDFs, and client ideas into clean, permit-ready construction drawing sets — floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans, and door/window schedules, all linked from one BIM model.
What I deliver:
- Full ArchiCAD BIM model + Construction Documents
- Residential & Commercial — Houses, Apartments, Shops, Offices
- Permit / Council Approval Sets
- PDF / Sketch / Hand Drawing to ArchiCAD BIM
- As-Built Drawings from Site Measurements
- DWG, PDF, and PLN files + 2 Revisions.
Because I work in BIM, any change to a wall or window updates all drawings automatically — no mismatch between plan and section.
I also have site supervision experience, so my drawings are not just pretty — they are buildable. I understand foundations, drainage, septic details, and how contractors actually build.
Software: ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Protostructure, Prokon.
I respond within 12 hours and deliver on time. Send me your sketch and I will confirm scope and price within 2 hours.
