Architectural Draftsman

The Independent Architectural Draftsman Consultant operates as our primary technical production partner on a flexible, project-by-project contract basis. In this role, you will be responsible for transforming pre-vetted spatial data and client intake criteria into precise, high-tier architectural drawing sets using advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.

You will work independently from your own workspace to digitally model, draft, and compile complete, multi-layered blueprint packages—including site layouts, foundation grids, structural sections, and certified electrical/plumbing schematics. All designs must be meticulously coordinated to ensure 100% compliance with local CH&PA boundary setbacks and commercial bank mortgage requirements.

Additionally, you will generate photorealistic 3D interior/exterior color renderings and manage up to three rounds of minor layout adjustments per project. This position is strictly focused on technical design execution; all corporate marketing, financial invoicing, and client communication are managed entirely by Apex Designs, allowing you to focus exclusively on drafting excellence.

• Educational Background: Possession of a Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Architecture, Technical Drawing, or Civil Engineering. (Advanced or final-year University of Guyana Architecture students with exceptional portfolios are strongly encouraged to apply).

• Software Mastery: Advanced, non-negotiable proficiency in Autodesk Revit for 2D drafting and 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM).

• Rendering Capability: Strong hands-on experience with high-end visualization software (such as Lumion, Twinmotion, Enscape, or V-Ray) to produce photorealistic color renders.

• Professional Experience: Minimum of two (2) years of practical experience drafting compliant building blueprints inside an architectural studio or a proven high-tier freelance capacity.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of local Guyanese building realities, including Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) setback lines, boundary transport dimensions, and municipal zoning rules.

• Technical Detail Focus: Mastery of structural line weights, cross-sectional detailing, electrical circuit grids, and plumbing schematics.

• Workflow Attributes: Exceptional time-management skills, strict respect for project deadlines, and the ability to work independently from your own workspace with minimal supervision.

• Technical 2D Drafting: Translate pre-vetted client intake forms and land transport dimensions into precise, multi-layered 2D working drawings using Autodesk Revit.

• 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM): Build complete, accurate 3D digital architectural models to coordinate spatial flows and structural elements.

• Photorealistic Rendering: Generate high-resolution, full-color 3D interior and exterior renderings (using Lumion, Twinmotion, or similar engines) for client visualization.

• Blueprint Package Compilation: Compile complete, bank-ready blueprint sets inclusive of site plans, foundation grids, structural sections, elevations, electrical grids, and plumbing schematics.

• Regulatory Compliance Coordination: Cross-reference all layouts with local Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) setback laws and municipal zoning guidelines to ensure 100% permit approval viability.

• Layout Revisions: Execute up to three (3) rounds of minor design modifications based on consolidated client feedback within pre-agreed project timelines.

• Quality Assurance & Collaboration: Maintain strict line-weight discipline, printing accuracy, and deliver clean, organized project files to the Managing Director at each milestone checkpoint.

• Plan Certification (If Licensed): Affix a professional legal signature and structural stamp to finalized commercial or premium residential drawings prior to local authority submission.
