A recent fire left my home a blank slate, and I’m ready to turn that setback into a thoughtful redesign. My first goal is to enlarge the master suite—size is the clear priority—while still letting in plenty of natural light and framing a backyard view from the bed. I plan to push the bedroom about six feet into the yard, so any layout you propose should take that extension into account and showcase where large windows or glass doors could sit without compromising privacy. Most of the extra square footage will go to the master closet and bath. I picture a generous walk-through bath leading to a closet that feels like a small lounge, complete with a seating area for dressing. Storage is important, of course, but the seating zone is what will make the space feel luxurious. ...

What We Need Design of a modular RCC pod system — a family of factory-cast, transportable, liftable, joinable structural units that serve as building blocks for all our home products. This is not a conventional structure — it is a precision-manufactured product designed from first principles to eliminate wastage at every level. Design Philosophy — First Principles We are NOT copying traditional RCC construction and shrinking it. We are rethinking from physics: What is the minimum material needed to carry the loads? (Eliminate wastage) What is the minimum number of operations to build it? (Eliminate process) What serves dual purpose? (Structure = storage = furniture = ribs) What can be shipped separately to reduce pod weight? (Windows, doors = ship flat) What kills us if...

I already have permit-ready drawings for a two-unit renovation, but the city has come back asking for explicit fire-separation details between the stacked units. The only area that needs attention is the inter-unit ceiling. Here is what I need added to the existing sheets: • A compliant 1-hour rated gypsum board assembly designed for wood joists, called out in plan, section and detail. • Notes identifying fastening, staggered joints, insulation (if required for the rating), and any resilient channels or backing. • Reference to the applicable code section and UL or GA assembly number so the reviewer can approve it quickly. • An updated life-safety sheet (or an overlay detail) highlighting the new ceiling rating and continuity at penetrations for lights, ducts ...

I need detailed structural design for a new building and want a civil engineer who can take the architectural concept I already have and turn it into fully compliant structural documents.

My expectations: • Signed and stamped structural drawings (PDF and editable DWG/Revit files) • Complete load calculations with clear assumptions (gravity, wind, seismic) • Foundation, framing, and connection details ready for contractor pricing and permit submission • A brief calculation summary explaining the modelling approach in SAP2000/ETABS—or your preferred equivalent—so my local reviewer can follow t...

I regularly receive architectural plans in PDF format for façade and rainscreen cladding projects and I need the net square-metre areas extracted from each set so I can issue quotations quickly. Every drawing comes with a clear scale, so you are free to work in Bluebeam, PlanSwift, AutoCAD, or another digital take-off tool you trust, as long as the final numbers are correct to the nearest centimetre. Here is the typical flow: I email you a fresh plan set, you confirm receipt, perform the take-off, and return a simple spreadsheet (or marked-up PDF if you prefer) showing total m² per elevation and any deductions you made for windows, doors, or openings. Speed is important—most quotes go out within 24 hours—yet accuracy must never slip below the centimetre tolerance...

I have the land and the vision; now I need a complete set of plans for a modern residence with four to five bedrooms. Think clean contemporary lines, generous glazing and sustainable materials, but balanced with a layout that blends open, flowing social areas and sensibly separated private rooms. In other words, I still want a family hub that feels spacious, while studies, guest suites and utility zones can be closed off when needed. Here is what I expect as the finished package so the builder and local authority both have everything they need: • Scaled floor plans for every level, reflecting the hybrid layout • Front, rear and side elevations that showcase a modern façade • Roof, foundation and basic MEP schematics ready for permitting • A rendered 3D ex...

I have a narrow 12 ft × 4 ft room in our school that must become a practical, durable store for all our sports equipment. The entire fit-out will be built from ACP (aluminium composite panel), so every surface, shelf, partition and door must be detailed with that material in mind—thicknesses, fixing methods and edge finishes included. The room’s sole purpose is storage, but the contents are varied: balls and rackets, protective gear and uniforms, and even a few pieces of heavy gym equipment. To keep the space flexible, I want an interior layout based on adjustable shelves that can be re-configured as our inventory changes through the school year. What I need from you • A smart space plan showing how the full volume will be used without compromising access. •...

I need a consolidated package that gives me both a master site development plan and a clear traffic-flow simulation for a new truck yard whose primary role will be the storage and parking of heavy-duty vehicles. The planning side must set out a workable design layout, accurate schematics and full utility planning, showing how power, water, drainage and any comms lines reach every bay and shared facility on site. I will use these drawings as the foundation for permitting and contractor bids, so the files have to be construction-grade (DWG / Civil 3D preferred). Alongside the drawings I want to see a dynamic traffic-flow model that illustrates day-to-day operations: trucks entering the gatehouse, queuing at inspection, moving to assigned parking slots, and exiting. The simulation shou...

I have a set of architectural sketches that now need to be turned into clean, accurate 2D drawings inside FreeCAD. The focus is strictly 2D drafting—no 3D modeling or part assemblies—so I need someone who is completely comfortable using FreeCAD’s Draft and TechDraw workbenches to create professional-looking architectural plans. You will start from my hand-drawn layouts (PDF and photos) and reproduce them in FreeCAD with the correct dimensions, layers and line weights. Walls, doors, windows and basic room labels are enough at this stage; we are not yet adding detailed schedules or specifications.

I have a detailed topographic survey of a roadside parcel and need a clear, buildable concept that combines an apartment complex above street-front commercial space. The brief is straightforward: use the topo to shape a practical massing solution that maximises the slope, keeps the commercial frontage truly at road level, and provides efficient residential circulation, parking and amenity decks above. You are free to push the style—contemporary, timeless, or somewhere between—so long as it meets local code assumptions for setbacks and height. The ground floor must be laid out so it can flex between small retail units and office suites; showing both scenarios will help my feasibility review. Residential levels should target an efficient mix of studio to two-bedroom units with s...
