A Day in the life
Being an Architectural Associate means being creative and precise, and bringing residential dreams to life through detailed construction documents. You start by drafting the initial plans for single-family homes and townhomes, then move on to creating strip drawings that set the foundation for new projects. Every task requires a keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality. In addition to the drawing board, you need to meticulously review your own projects, ensuring every line and letter aligns with the highest standards. It's also essential to collaborate with various departments such as Purchasing, Estimating, Construction, Marketing, and Sales to adjust plans as needed and ensure smooth communication of architectural details. You need to keep track of your progress, update the Architecture Schedule, and uphold the company's mission, vision, and values, all while maintaining a professional demeanor.
