I am looking for an experienced, specialized kitchen designer for a high-end luxury residential project. Please ONLY apply if you are an actual kitchen designer with a strong portfolio in high-end, traditional residential projects.

This project requires a highly ergonomic layout, detailed millwork design, photorealistic 3D rendering, and research to help me source the cabinetry directly from a US manufacturer. You must be open to project modifications and collaborative suggestions after the initial design phases. At the end of the project, all native CAD files and high-res renderings must be transferred to me.

**Provided to You:**

* Complete 2D CAD floor plans of the house.
* 3D CAD files (will be provided soon if needed).
* A comprehensive appliance list with exact dimensions (Sub-Zero panel-ready columns, Wolf 48" range, etc.).
* Sample reference photos showing the aesthetic I am looking for (attached to this posting).

**Design Requirements & Aesthetics:**

* **Style:** Traditional luxury kitchen design.
* **Color Palette:** Main cabinetry could be Ivory or naturally stained wood . The island must be a contrasting Matte Light Gray.
* **Hardware:** Gold-colored handles and pulls throughout.
* **Island:** Must comfortably accommodate seating for 6 chairs.
* **Sinks:** Two sinks total (one white farm sink in the main body of the kitchen, and a second prep sink on the island).
* **Appliances:** Panel-ready refrigerator and freezer (integrated into the millwork).
* **Cooking Zone:** Ivory-colored custom range hood to match the cabinetry, with a pot filler (water supply) installed directly over the oven/range.
* **Layout & Ergonomics:** Cabinetry should be beautifully spread around the kitchen (not just a single continuous block). You must expertly design the ergonomics, including the exact positioning of appliances based on the supplied list.
* **Flooring Integration:** The design should complement light-colored porcelain floor tile.
* **Butler’s Pantry:** The layout must include a dedicated site/area for a butler's pantry.

**Project Structure & Budget ($750 Fixed Price):**
The project will be strictly broken down into three milestones. Please do not apply if you cannot adhere to this milestone structure.

* **Milestone 1: Preliminary 2D Design & Millwork ($250)**
* Creation of the 2D CAD floor plan layout and cabinet elevations.
* *Note: No 3D renderings in this phase. We will revise and finalize the layout first.*


* **Milestone 2: 3D Renderings & Final Revisions ($250)**
* Once the 2D layout is approved, you will provide highly realistic 3D renderings of the kitchen and butler's pantry.
* Includes minor revisions based on feedback. Delivery of final CAD source files.


* **Milestone 3: Direct-to-Consumer US Manufacturer Research ($250)**
* Provide heavily researched recommendations for US-based custom cabinetry manufacturers.
* The manufacturer MUST accept this design directly from a consumer or General Contractor (allowing me to bypass traditional kitchen dealer/middleman markups).
* Provide contact info, requirements, and proof that they sell direct based on our CAD files.

Project Duration: Under 1 week (Estimated 7–8 hours of work)
Job Description:
We are currently in the structural framing phase of a high-end, modern custom residential build. We are seeking an experienced structural BIM coordinator, steel detailer/checker, or architectural detailer to conduct a comprehensive 3-way coordination review cross-referencing our fabricator’s structural steel shop drawings against our approved Architectural set and Structural Engineering plans.
This is a fixed-price milestone project ($150 budget for an estimated 7–8 hours of review). We need a clear, rigorous audit to identify dimensional variances, tolerance stack-ups, missing shop details, or spatial clashes before fabrication starts.
Scope of Work & Responsibilities
1. Structural Plans Verification (Shop Drawings vs. S-Sheets):
Cross-check all member sizes, centerline-to-centerline spans, grid alignments, and Top of Steel (TOS) elevations.
Verify base plate dimensions, anchor bolt layouts, embed plate details, edge distances to concrete edges, and non-shrink grout clearances (typically 1/2" to 1").
Confirm that stiffeners, gusset plates, moment splices, and connection hardware conform strictly to structural notes.
2. Architectural Alignment & Fitment (Shop Drawings vs. A-Sheets & RCP):
Ceiling & Cavity Clearances: Verify beam flange depths and connection plates do not penetrate finished ceiling heights, dropped soffits, or MEP drop cavities.
Large Sliders & Glazing Headers: Verify vertical rough openings, header beam elevations, track recesses, and adequate live-load deflection gaps (minimum 1/2" to 3/4") for large multi-slide exterior pocket doors and tall window assemblies.
Finished Floor & Threshold Drops: Ensure supporting steel at exterior sliders accommodates required architectural finished floor step-downs and flush track transitions.
Wall Thickness & Flush Planes: Verify columns, base plates, moment frame connections, and bolts remain entirely recessed inside stud wall cavities (e.g., 2x6 or 2x8 framing) so no hardware protrudes past finished drywall.
Pocket Door Clearances: Ensure steel columns or shear members do not intrude into wall cavities dedicated to sliding pocket doors.
Perimeter Fixtures: Confirm steel beams and outriggers do not clash with recessed motorized shade pockets or perimeter recessed linear slot diffusers.
3. Wood Framing Interface & MEP Coordination:
Shop-Punched Holes: Verify all necessary top-flange or side-flange pre-punched bolt holes for continuous 2x/3x wood nailers, ledgers, and joist hangers are explicitly detailed for shop drilling.
Penetrations: Flag any MEP routing (ductwork, major drain lines) that directly intersects structural steel members and requires factory-engineered web penetrations.
Deliverables & Source Files Required (Mandatory)
Upon completion, the freelancer must transfer all work product including complete, editable native source files:
Marked-Up Drawings:
High-resolution annotated PDF with all redlines, callouts, and clouding.
Native Bluebeam Revu markup source files (.pdf with unflattened, editable markup layers and/or exported Bluebeam XML / .bax markup summaries).
Actionable RFI / Issue Punch List:
A clean, prioritized punch list detailing sheet numbers, grid locations, description of discrepancies, and requested fabricator actions.
Delivered in an editable source format (Microsoft Excel .xlsx or Google Sheets), in addition to PDF.
Drafting / Modeling Source Files (if applicable):
If any CAD cross-sections, 2D overlays, or 3D clash checks are generated to verify clearances, provide all raw, unpurged native files (.dwg, .rvt, .ifc, or sketch files).
Strict Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure (Mandatory)
Private Residence: All drawing sets, models, specifications, and project documents are strictly proprietary and confidential.
No Public / Portfolio Use: The contractor agrees that no drawings, markups, photos, or descriptions of this project may be published, shown, or distributed in any personal or agency portfolio, website, social media, or Upwork profile.
Identity & Location Protection: The project street address, parcel number, owner identity, and team contacts must remain confidential and cannot be shared with third parties under any circumstances.
A standard Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will be executed prior to document handover.
Candidate Requirements
Proven background in structural engineering, steel detailing, or architectural drafting for modern US residential or light commercial projects.
Full native proficiency in US imperial measurements (feet, inches, fractional dimensions) and AISC detailing standards.
Advanced expertise in Bluebeam Revu (or Tekla / Revit / AutoCAD).
Meticulous attention to detail regarding finish tolerances, framing interfaces, and clash prevention.
Materials Provided Upon NDA
Full Architectural Set (Floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, building sections, door/window schedules).
Structural Engineering Set (Framing plans, section details, general structural notes).
Fabricator Steel Shop Drawings (Erection diagrams, member details, connection sheets).
Please submit your proposal with a brief summary of your experience coordinating steel shop drawings against US architectural sets, confirmation that you agree to the $150 fixed budget and source-file delivery requirement, your estimated turnaround time, and your acceptance of the confidentiality terms.

I am making a hostel/pod hotel and I need to take two storage rooms and redesign them to have cabinets for guest. We initially thought there could be cabinets in the hallways, and then we thought of putting them in the rooms. Now we want to have them made in what once was the storage area.

Our architects have already gone above what they were supposed to for time, so to not overburden them. I just need someone to do the basic CAD work of this room. Current CAD files may show cabinets in hallways. These can be removed to allow for an additional few inches of space but reducing the hallways size; can explain that via messages.

I need some MEP drawings for a site office for a project please contact if you have experience in MEP drawings.

I have currently 15 drawings for one office and i need to make same 15 for another site office. All data will be shared but confidentiality is the most important thing.

We are seeking a California-licensed Mechanical Professional Engineer (PE) for an existing 6-story hotel renovation project located in Downtown Los Angeles, California, with 50 guest rooms (10 rooms per floor across 5 floors).

I’m looking for an experienced Python developer to help build a data-extraction pipeline for technical engineering drawings. The drawings are CAD-exported vector PDFs, and the goal is to turn them into clean, structured JSON that meets clear acceptance criteria.

You’ll extract text, line and shape geometry, and CAD layer information from the drawings. You’ll also parse instructions from Word documents and email text, and extract text and tables from text-based technical reports. Another part of the work is grouping and counting drawing elements on each sheet against a set of defined rules, for example identifying how many of a given feature appear on a page.

You should write strong, production-quality Python and have hands-on experience with vector PDF internals, using libraries such as PyMuPDF, pdfplumber or pdfminer. You should be comfortable reading drawings, text with coordinates, and optional content layers from a PDF. Experience with geometry and spatial processing, such as Shapely, is important, because much of the work involves proximity, grouping and bounding boxes. You should also be comfortable defining and validating structured data with JSON schemas and Pydantic.

It would be a strong plus if you have worked with CAD or GIS data (such as AutoCAD, DXF files or ezdxf), or with engineering, construction or AEC drawings. Experience with computer vision for symbol detection, such as OpenCV or template matching, would also help. Familiarity with Microsoft Azure services such as Document Intelligence, Functions and Blob Storage is a bonus.
