Summary

We are, a modular home builder in Brisbane, Australia. We are looking for a draftsperson who works in SketchUp and LayOut to produce Australian residential documentation. This role is SketchUp only. We are not looking for Revit for this work. Immediate job. A renovation: remove an existing covered area by a pool, add a new raised roof, a covered walkway around the pool, and a covered deck over a sloping site, integrated with the existing house. We provide a SketchUp model, the existing house plans and site photos. We need a Concept and Building Approval drawing set produced in SketchUp: cover, general notes, site and locality plan, existing and proposed site plans, existing and proposed floor plans, roof plan, elevations and sections. Work from the supplied model and plans and take those dimensions as correct. Downstream we will use the SketchUp files to produce manufacturing files in the Framebuilder plug-in. Ongoing. If this goes well there is further short-term modular residential documentation work as we move through our pipeline and establish a longer term workflow. What you need. Strong SketchUp (and LayOut or an alternative), with the ability to produce clean, scaled, approvable drawing sets from a SketchUp model. Experience with Australian residential documentation to NCC and BCA standard, class 1 and class 10 ideal. Willingness to hand over the native SketchUp and LayOut files on every job. PlusSpec or an alternative experience is a plus. Photorealistic rendering from SketchUp, using Enscape, V-Ray, D5 or Twinmotion, or an alternative is a bonus, not essential. Good to know. We build under our own builder licence, so you do not need a QBCC licence for this work. We hold the building responsibility, you produce the documentation. To apply. Send two recent residential examples you produced in SketchUp and plugins, confirm your SketchUp and LayOut proficiency, give a fixed price for the Glenview set and your hourly rate, and a realistic turnaround. We start with the Glenview job as a paid first task which is ready to go as soon as we select you. Notes on deliverables expected: Immediate job.
