Summary

AutoCAD Technician – UK Architectural Drawings (Trial Task, Possible Ongoing Work) Category: CAD & Drafting Services Job Description: I'm a UK-based sole-practitioner architect looking for a freelance CAD technician to help produce architectural drawings. This starts as a small paid trial task, with potential to become ongoing part-time work (initially around 4–5 hours/week) if it's a good fit. The trial task: I'll provide one existing floor plan as a marked-up PDF/sketch. You'll redraw it as a clean, scaled AutoCAD (.dwg) drawing at 1:50 or 1:100, with proper layers, line weights, and basic annotations (room names, key dimensions). I'll provide a title block to use. What I'm looking for: Strong AutoCAD skills Experience with UK architectural drawing conventions (scale, line weights, annotation standards) Ability to follow a defined layer/naming standard precisely Comfortable working from sketches or hand-marked plans Good communication — happy to ask questions rather than guess One more thing: if you've read this far, please start your application with the word DRAWN — I'm using this to spot people who've actually read the brief, since I get a lot of generic applications. Nice to have: Experience with UK planning application drawing sets Past experience working with small/sole-practitioner architecture firms To apply, please include: Confirmation you work in AutoCAD, and which version 2–3 portfolio samples of architectural (not generic CAD) drawings Your typical turnaround time for a single floor plan redraw Any questions about the trial task brief Budget: Fixed price: £50 for the trial task Timeline: 3 days for the trial task This is genuine potential for ongoing work if the trial goes well — I'm looking to build a reliable working relationship, not just a one-off task.
