Residential Permit Drawings
Budget: $1,000 – $2,000 USD
Seeking Residential Draftsperson / Emerging Architectural Designer
(Construction-Ready Permit Drawings from Existing Concept Package)
We are seeking a freelance residential draftsperson, residential designer, or emerging architectural professional to help transform an existing developed concept package into construction-ready permit drawings for a custom single-story cottage/bungalow-style residence to be built in central Alabama.
The residence is approx. 2,000 square feet and has already undergone significant conceptual development, including:
floorplan layout
exterior style direction
accessibility considerations
courtyard and breezeway planning
aging-in-place functionality
room relationships and general design intent
The home includes:
zero-entry / zero-elevation design
wide breezeways suitable for future wheelchair accessibility
dual en-suite bedrooms
ADA-accessible secondary primary bath with roll-in shower
courtyard-centered layout
detached-style garage/storage wings connected via breezeways
simple bungalow/cottage exterior aesthetic intended to blend naturally with wooded surroundings
We are NOT seeking a full luxury architectural package at this stage.
The goal is a professional, buildable permit/construction drawing set suitable for builder pricing and eventual construction.
Ideal candidate experience:
residential drafting/design
cottage, bungalow, or aging-in-place layouts
slab foundation homes
practical, buildable residential detailing
familiarity with Southern or Alabama residential construction is a plus
We are also open to:
5th-year architecture students
recent architecture graduates
emerging residential designers
…provided they can supply:
samples of previous work
references (academic or professional)
strong communication and organizational skills
*Everyone starts somewhere, and we are open to helping add experience to a resume/portfolio. We value thoughtful design, collaboration, and professionalism.
Please include:
portfolio samples
estimated pricing structure
estimated timeline
software/platform used
whether revisions are included
whether coordination with other professionals would be available at future stages of the project, if needed.
This project already has a strong conceptual direction and is best suited for someone who enjoys refining and technically executing an established vision rather than developing a concept entirely from scratch.
