Our clients benefit from the support of skilled in-house architectural designers and project managers who collaborate directly with onsite contractors. Leveraging strong relationships with trusted trade partners in the Front Range, we ensure fair pricing, fixed costs, and timely project completion. We maintain high standards of craftsmanship, offering a three-year warranty on all projects and earning the trust of our repeat customers through exceptional service.

Role Description

We are seeking a Residential Remodel Architectural Designer to support all aspects of remodeling design from homeowner consultation and field measures through material selections and construction-ready plans. This is an in-office position based in the Denver, CO metro area. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not available. Current, hands‑on residential remodeling experience is required. This is not a commercial architecture role. Candidates without residential design‑build remodeling backgrounds will not be considered.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys:

• Turning challenging residential spaces into functional solutions
• Creating documentation builders can rely on
• Guiding homeowners in a respectful, informed way
• Managing multiple projects while staying organized and responsive

Primary Responsibilities

• Conduct precise on‑site measurements and develop accurate base plans
• Produce design concepts and remodeling layouts
• Prepare construction‑ready drawing sets
• Apply CAD software confidently
• Collaborate with homeowners on material selections and design details
• Ensure alignment with residential building codes and permitting requirements
• Prepare documentation for production handoff
• Coordinate internally to maintain project accuracy and consistency

  Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of residential remodeling design experience
  • Direct experience within residential design‑build environments required
  • Demonstrated ability to produce construction‑ready remodeling drawings
  • Strong CAD competency, ideally with Chief Architect software, but AutoCAD and SketchUp are good skills that cross translate well into Chief Architect.
  • Familiarity with residential codes and permitting requirements
  • Professional communication skills with homeowners
  • Highly organized; able to manage multiple active projects
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
  • Ability to work full‑time in‑office in the Denver metro area / M‑F

  What Success Looks Like

  • Plans are detailed, buildable, and code‑aware
  • Homeowners feel confident and informed throughout design
  • Potential field challenges are addressed within drawings
  • Projects transition smoothly from design to construction
