Commercial Restaurant Construction Documents (CAD/MEP/Civil) for permits in Michigan USA

Job Description: Project Overview: We are seeking an experienced commercial CAD/BIM drafting professional or small MEP/Civil team to develop a comprehensive, permit-ready Construction Document (CD) set for a commercial restaurant project. The project scope involves a significant structural addition and a complete interior and exterior renovation of an existing restaurant facility. We already possess extensive, high-quality, professionally prepared foundational files. Your role will be to compile, coordinate, and integrate these components into a fully code-compliant submittal package for municipal plan review. Available Source Materials (To be provided to the selected freelancer): Architectural: As-built CAD elevation and floor plan drawings of the existing building, CAD conceptual design layouts for the addition/renovation, and high-quality, photo-realistic elevations of the conceptual plans to clearly communicate design intent. Site & Civil: Certified land survey, localized plot plan, the existing parking lot layout, a new proposed conceptual parking lot plan, and a corresponding proposed conceptual landscape plan. Professional Food Service & Kitchen Sheets: A complete, detailed design package from a professional commercial kitchen designer. This includes exact equipment specs and schedules, plumbing grease trap/interceptor specifications, localized utility rough-in locations, fire suppression design, and the specific kitchen hood and dedicated makeup air system (MUA) parameters. Scope of Work & Required Deliverables: The final delivery must be a fully coordinated, professional sheet set ready for permit submission, detailing the following specific disciplines: 1 Civil / Site: Development of a comprehensive parking lot water management/drainage plan, fully integrating our new proposed conceptual parking lot layout with the existing land survey, plot plan, and landscape design. 2 Mechanical (HVAC): Engineering and layout of the building's HVAC distribution system, specifically accounting for standard dining comfort zones and seamlessly integrating/routing the pre-specified commercial kitchen hood and makeup air system. 3 Plumbing: Full commercial plumbing layout, incorporating the pre-specified grease trap/interceptor, gas line piping schematics for kitchen equipment, standard water supply/waste lines, and integration with the kitchen's pre-designed fire suppression system. Note: The existing main water and sewer lateral connections are to remain in place; your scope will focus on the new interior distribution, fixtures, and kitchen tie-ins. 4 Electrical: Comprehensive electrical distribution plans, including a panel schedule, lighting layouts, and dedicated power connections matching the professional kitchen equipment schedule. 5 Sheet Coordination: Ensuring absolute consistency between civil site plans, architectural shells (including the transition from the existing structure to the new addition), and the integrated MEP/Kitchen sheets to ensure a zero-clash submittal. Required Qualifications: Proven portfolio of completed, approved commercial restaurant permit sets within the United States, specifically including structural additions or major renovations. Deep familiarity with commercial building codes (IBC, IMC, IPC, NEC, and NFPA 96 standards). Expert proficiency in Autodesk AutoCAD (⁠.dwg⁠ format) or Revit/BIM (preferred for multi-discipline coordination). Ability to work efficiently using our clean, pre-existing CAD layers without re-drafting base geometry unnecessarily. Application Instructions (Read Carefully): To ensure you have read the full scope of this project and are not using an automated bidding tool, please begin the very first line of your proposal with the words "RESTAURANT CD COORDINATION." Proposals without this specific phrase at the top will be declined immediately without review. Please include: 1 A brief summary of your experience integrating professional kitchen design packages into full MEP/Architectural sets. 2 Examples or a portfolio link showing a past commercial permit set you produced involving a building addition or heavy remodel (sensitive client information may be redacted). 3 Your estimated timeline for completing a coordinated set of this scope once all source files are turned over. 4). Your flat fee amount to deliver the complete permit ready documentation described above.
