Key responsibilities:

Design & Drafting: Develop detailed floor plans, elevations, and 3D models using ArchiCAD and AutoCAD, specifically optimized for steel-frame residential structures.

Customer Requirement Analysis: Lead technical discussions with customers to interpret their residential needs and translate them into viable prefabricated design solutions.

Bill of Quantities (BOQ): Generate comprehensive BOQs for project proposals, ensuring all architectural elements are accounted for to support accurate cost estimation.

Procurement Support (Material Lists): Generate precise Material Take-offs (MTOs) and Material Lists from finalized drawings to facilitate the timely procurement of steel members, cladding, and finishing materials.

Prefabrication Integration: Modify and refine architectural layouts to align with factory fabrication capabilities and "Smooth Flow" site assembly logic.

Proposal Collaboration: Work closely with the sales team to provide technical sketches and volume data for high-stakes residential bids.
