Residential - Complete Architectural & MEP Design Package for Apartment Renovation
Budget: $1,000 – $2,500 USD
I am renovating an existing apartment and require a complete, build-ready architectural design package that can be handed directly to contractors for execution.
This is not a conceptual or mood-board exercise. The deliverable must include accurate dimensions, technical drawings, and construction-ready specifications.
Scope of Work
The selected professional will be responsible for producing a full renovation design, including but not limited to:
1. Architectural Layout & Space Planning
Proposed layout with:
a) Closure of existing doors and conversion to windows where required
b) Relocation and redesign of bathroom / toilet
c) Optimised layout for kitchen, living area, and bedroom
d) Furniture layout
- All drawings fully dimensioned (metric)
- Wall types clearly defined (existing vs new partitions)
2. Bathroom & Plumbing Design
New bathroom layout with:
- Toilet, shower, sink positioning
- Plumbing routes (water supply & drainage – schematic level)
- Clear indications suitable for contractor execution
3. Electrical & Lighting Plan
Full electrical plan including:
- Lighting points (ceiling, wall, ambient)
- Switch locations (single / double / multi-gang)
- Power outlets (standard, kitchen appliances, special loads)
4. Kitchen Design (Technical)
Kitchen layout with:
- Appliance positioning (fridge, oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher)
- Plumbing & electrical coordination
- Cabinet layout sufficient for fabrication guidance (not branding-specific)
5. Contractor-Ready Documentation
Final deliverables must include:
a) Floor plans (existing & proposed)
b) Electrical & lighting plans
c) Plumbing layout (schematic)
Basic elevations/sections where required for clarity
All drawings clearly labelled and printable at scale
Deliverables Format
- PDF (print-ready)
- (Optional) Editable source files (AutoCAD or equivalent)
One consolidated drawing set suitable for contractor handover
What I Will Provide
a) Existing floor plan (PDF/image)
b) Site photos
c) Written functional requirements
d) any clarifications required during design reviews
Revisions
a) Up to 1 revision rounds included (layout & technical adjustments)
Ideal Freelancer Profile
a) Licensed architect, architectural designer, or architectural technologist
b) Proven experience in apartment renovations
c) Strong understanding of construction documentation, not just design visuals
To Apply, Please Include
- Relevant portfolio examples (renovation / technical drawings)
- Tools used (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.)
- Estimated timeline for first draft and final delivery
- Confirmation that deliverables are contractor-ready, not conceptual
