I need my existing residential drawings rebuilt faithfully in Chief Architect, preferably in version X17. I require the full drawing set reproduced: • Floor plans for each level • Mechanical layouts (HVAC and plumbing runs) • Electrical layouts with circuits and panel schedule • 1-3 elevation views showing all façade details • Furnished interior Source material will arrive as PDF scans; dimensions and notes are already marked. Your task is to replicate every line, layer and annotation so the new .plan file mirrors the originals, keeping room names, ceiling heights, symbols and sheet titles intact. Accuracy to the stated dimensions is critical; tolerances should stay within 1/8". Please return: 1. The native Chief Architect .plan file (X17 format if possible) 2. A PDF set plotted at 1/4" = 1'-0" for quick print review 3. Any custom library items you create Let me know early if you spot missing information—I can supply field photos and spec sheets. I’ll review the first-floor plan as a checkpoint before you move on to the upper floors, then do a final pass once the mechanical, electrical and elevations are complete.

Hello, I have experience rebuilding complete residential drawing sets from PDF scans into editable BIM/CAD environments, including floor plans, MEP layouts, elevations, annotations, and furnished interiors. I am a good fit because I can reproduce the original dimensions, room data, ceiling heights, symbols, and sheet organization carefully while keeping the model clean enough for later editing. I will rebuild the project in Chief Architect, preferably X17, beginning with the first-floor checkpoint before continuing to upper levels, HVAC/plumbing, electrical circuits and panel schedules, elevations, and interiors. I will verify dimensions against the source drawings, flag any missing information early, and keep the model within the requested 1/8" tolerance wherever the scans support it. Final delivery will include the native .plan file, a 1/4" = 1'-0" PDF set, and any custom library items created for the project. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin
