I am seeking an experienced residential designer or drafting professional to prepare a complete plan set for legalizing an existing interior Junior ADU (JADU) under AB 2533 in the City of Brentwood, California. The unit was originally part of the main dwelling (ensuite bedroom + study) and was converted prior to 2020. It currently includes a kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom, living area, and an exterior porch entrance. All systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are shared with the main house. I already have an as‑built floor plan. To qualify as a JADU, the City requires restoration of an interior doorway. This doorway will be placed through the closet connecting the JADU back to the main dwelling. This work will be completed later — for now, it only needs to be shown on the plans. Scope of Work: You will prepare a full plan set suitable for electronic submittal through Brentwood’s eTRAKiT portal, including: 1. Cover Sheet a) Property address, APN, scope of work b) JADU designation (<500 sq ft) c) Applicable codes d) AB 2533 notes e) CALGreen/Title 24 deferral note 2. Site Plan a) Property lines, setbacks b) Location of JADU within the home c) Utility connections (shared systems) 3. Floor Plans a) As‑built b) Proposed plan showing new interior doorway through closet c) Room labels, dimensions d) Doors/windows with sizes e) Kitchenette appliances f) Plumbing fixtures (if applicable) g) Mechanical equipment (if applicable) 4. EMP Notes (Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing) a) Shared systems b) Minor corrections only (if applicable) 5. Exterior Elevation a) Porch door only (simple elevation) 6. Smoke/CO Detector Locations 7. General Notes a) AB 2533 compliance b) Health & Safety Code 17920.3 c) No new construction except interior doorway 8. Ideal Freelancer: a) Experience with ADU/JADU legalization b) Familiarity with AB 2533 and Health & Safety Code 17920.3 c) Experience preparing plan sets for California jurisdictions d) Ability to deliver a complete plan set before October 3rd e) Clear communication and fast turnaround 9. Deliverable: A complete, permit‑ready plan set in PDF format suitable for electronic submittal.

Hi, I am a licensed Professional Engineer with 15+ years of experience in California, including residential permit drawings, ADU/JADU documentation, and code-compliance plan sets. I have a professional engineering license in California. Your existing interior unit needs to be documented as an under-500-sq-ft JADU, with the as-built conditions clearly distinguished from the proposed restoration of the interior doorway through the closet while keeping the existing shared HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems properly documented. I can prepare the complete permit-ready set including cover sheet, site plan, as-built and proposed floor plans, doorway modification, EMP notes, porch elevation, smoke/CO locations, and the required general/code notes for Brentwood electronic submission. I will coordinate the drawings with applicable 2025 California Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy and CALGreen requirements, along with AB 2533 and applicable JADU requirements. I am familiar with preparing California jurisdictional plan sets and responding to plan-check comments if revisions are required. I can prioritize the work to meet your October 3 deadline. I am interested in this project. Looking forward to working with you. Thank you

Hi, I’m interested in preparing the complete plan set for your existing JADU legalization in Brentwood. I understand the important distinction in this project: the JADU already exists within the main dwelling, the building systems remain shared, and the interior doorway through the closet is being shown on the plans now even though the physical work will occur later. I can translate those conditions into a clear permit package covering the architectural and code documentation requested by the City. My work would include the cover sheet, site plan, existing/proposed floor plans, JADU designation, dimensions, room and fixture information, shared EMP notes, porch-door elevation, smoke/CO locations, and all applicable legalization and safety notes. I would also coordinate the AB 2533, Health & Safety Code 17920.3, CALGreen, and Title 24 information specified in your scope. I’m a licensed architect with 20+ years of experience in residential renovations, ADUs, and California permitting. I understand that legalization projects require especially careful documentation of what exists versus what is actually proposed. I will keep the package concise, coordinated, and suitable for electronic review rather than adding unnecessary design or construction information. I can work from your existing as-built plan and prepare the final PDF plan set for submittal.

Hello, I can assist with preparing a complete residential drafting package for your existing JADU legalization under AB 2533. I understand that the goal is documentation and legalization rather than a major remodel, with the interior doorway shown as proposed work to establish the connection to the main dwelling. I can produce coordinated architectural documentation covering the existing and proposed floor plans, site plan, simple exterior elevation, JADU area/designation, doors and windows, kitchenette fixtures, shared HVAC/electrical/plumbing systems, smoke/CO detectors, and applicable general/code notes. I’ll pay particular attention to clearly distinguishing existing conditions from proposed work so the City reviewer can easily understand the scope. The final drawings will be organized into a professional PDF plan set for electronic submission. Send the as-built floor plan, property address/APN, site information, photos, and any available City requirements, and I can begin reviewing the package.
