Freelance construction CAD drafter and estimator turning site data into buildable drawings and reliable quantity takeoffs.
What I'm looking for
In my freelance construction CAD drafting and estimation work, I prepare construction plans, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimates to support contractors and engineers. I turn sketches, site data, and rough plans into construction-ready drawings.
At MCJ Summit Enterprise, I manage construction work, check technical drawings, and coordinate inspections. I also prepare estimates and support tendering, contract documentation, and cost control.
At Baseline Surveying and Mapping Services, I helped with relocation, topographic, and cadastral surveys using Total Station and GPS-RTK. I collated field data against existing plans and plotted survey documents to AutoCAD standards, helping catch discrepancies before CAD work was completed.
