Create comprehensive architectural and engineering documentation using AutoCAD and Revit, including detailed scaled drawings, reflected ceiling plans, and elevations.
Maintain the Drawing Room and digital archives, ensuring that all architectural and engineering records are organized and accessible.
Ensure all designs and updates strictly follow ABAAS, VA Barrier Free Design Guide, TIL, ICC, OSHA, IFC, and Life Safety standards.
Identify variances between existing site conditions and current documentation, providing professional recommendations and solutions for alignment.
Perform thorough on-site investigations to capture existing buildings and utility data.
Swiftly update drawings and documentation to reflect office moves or minor construction projects to ensure operational continuity.
Review and interpret complex construction drawings and specifications across various engineering disciplines.

The anticipated contract term includes one base year with up to two optional renewal years, subject to funding, performance, and government needs.
As part of the federal approval process, the VA may review resumes and may request interviews.
