• Take a concept sketch or a stated program and develop it into a buildable set, exercising judgment where the direction is not fully spelled out.
• Incorporate redlines and markups accurately and on tight turnarounds.
• Apply Florida building codes and accessibility requirements (FBC, FFPC, ADA) and jurisdictional standards.
• Coordinate drawings with consultants (structural, MEP, civil) and help prepare permit and AHJ submittals.
• Maintain model and file integrity, layer and sheet standards, and organized project documentation.
• Support the design and construction teams through CD development and, as needed, construction administration (RFIs and submittals).
