Develop design plans for interior spaces, including layout, materials, and finishes.
Ensure that interior designs meet safety standards and comply with building codes.
Collaborate with architects and interior designers to integrate structural and aesthetic elements.
Select and specify materials, fixtures, and finishes that align with design goals and budget.
Oversee the implementation of interior designs, ensuring quality and adherence to plans.
Exterior Design:
Design exterior elements of buildings, including facades, rooflines, and exterior finishes.
Ensure that exterior designs are durable, weather-resistant, and comply with local regulations and aesthetic standards.
Coordinate with structural engineers to ensure that exterior designs support the building’s structural integrity.
Incorporate sustainable design practices and materials to enhance environmental performance.
Manage the execution of exterior design elements, addressing any issues that arise during construction.
General Duties:
Conduct site assessments to understand design constraints and opportunities.
Prepare detailed design documentation, including drawings, specifications, and material lists.
Use design software (e.g., Auto CAD, Revit) to create and modify design plans.
Coordinate with other engineering disciplines (structural, mechanical, electrical) to ensure cohesive design integration.
Monitor construction progress to ensure designs are executed as planned and address any design-related issues.
Provide technical support and problem-solving throughout the design and construction phases.
Skills:
Design Skills: Strong ability to create and visualize both interior and exterior designs, with an understanding of aesthetics, functionality, and spatial relationships.
Technical Knowledge: Proficiency in design software (Auto CAD, Revit, Sketch Up), knowledge of building codes, and an understanding of structural and environmental considerations.
Project Management: Ability to manage multiple design projects, coordinate with various stakeholders, and ensure timely and on-budget delivery.
Communication: Effective verbal and written communication skills to collaborate with clients, architects, and construction teams.
Problem-Solving: Ability to address design challenges and make adjustments as needed during the construction process.
