Posted 4 weeks ago

Summary

Description: I have a single-sheet 1969 architectural plan (scanned PDF) for a double-storey house in Cape Town, South Africa. It's hand-drawn and includes floor plans, front and rear elevations, three sections, a drainage section, and a site plan. I need it redrawn accurately in AutoCAD, in metric, so I have a clean digital base to plan future work. Important: The original is labelled as an "alterations and additions" plan, showing existing and proposed work. The proposed layout is what was actually built and is how the house stands today. I only need the proposed / as-built state redrawn — please ignore the "existing" (pre-alteration) elements except where needed to make the drawing read correctly. Scope: Redraw the full sheet in AutoCAD (.dwg), trued up and to scale, reflecting the proposed/as-built layout This is a double-storey house — please redraw both floor levels, the staircase, and ensure elevations and sections correctly reflect both storeys Convert all dimensions from imperial (feet/inches) to metric (mm) Proper layer structure (walls, dimensions, text, fixtures, site, etc.) — not a flat trace Include: floor plans, elevations, sections, and site plan as on the original Deliverables: editable .dwg plus a PDF export What I'll provide: High-resolution scan of the plan (PDF) Photos of the house as supporting reference, to help confirm the as-built layout and clarify anything faded or unclear on the original drawing (note: photos are for reference only and are not to scale — dimensions must come from the plan) Quick reference call/chat to confirm anything illegible To apply, please tell me: A fixed price for the full sheet Estimated turnaround Your AutoCAD version, and 1–2 samples of similar redraw/trace-up work How you handle dimensions that are faded or unclear (assumptions vs flagging for me to confirm) Notes: Accuracy and a clean, reusable layer structure matter more to me than speed. Some annotations on the original are small, so attention to detail is essential.
