I own a mixed-use building that now holds four street-level shops (6 m clear height) and one residential floor. The plot is 950 m² with 570 m² already built. I’m ready to transform it into a purely residential, three-storey property and need an architect/engineer who can redesign the structure and deliver full construction documentation. Scope of change • Demolish the internal shop partitions and convert the entire ground level into a secure parking garage, allocating one space per future flat. • Insert a mezzanine (new intermediate floor) within the existing 6 m void, then add an additional full floor above the current first floor, ending with: – Ground: parking only – Mezzanine: 6 flats, each ±75 m² – First: 6 flats, each ±75 m² – Second: 6 flats, each ±75 m² • Reconfigure the present first-floor layout to suit the new apartment grid. • Preserve the external footprint (570 m²) while maximizing internal living area. Key preferences • Construction: light gauge steel framing is my first choice for the new storeys; traditional methods could be discussed if they clearly outperform LGS. • Overall look: I lean toward a modern yet timeless façade that harmonises with neighbouring buildings. • Primary driver is maximising usable space without compromising structural integrity. What I need from you 1. Revised architectural floor plans, elevations and sections (DWG/Revit). 2. Structural concept for the mezzanine and upper floor in light gauge steel, including column/beam layout and load calculations. 3. Ground-floor parking layout with ramp, circulation widths and clearances that meet local code. 4. MEP intent drawings indicating vertical shafts, main runs and equipment zones. 5. Bill of quantities and a basic phasing schedule so the contractor can price and stage the works. 6. Drawings formatted for authority submission plus a set optimised for on-site use. I have the original architectural files; you’ll receive them once we start. Please outline your relevant projects, software you’ll use, and the time you need to reach permit-ready drawings. also I need to make extension in the building in the front above the outside parking as add to the mizanin and first and second floor , add more spaces to the flat . divie each floor into as many appartment as you can but not less than 75 m2 each flat and each flat must have one parking

⭐Hello⭐ I carefully reviewed your redevelopment scope and understand that you need a full architectural and structural redesign converting the existing mixed-use building into a residential scheme with ground-floor parking, mezzanine apartments, upgraded first floor, new second floor, and a front extension above the outside parking to maximize apartment area. ⭐ Prepare revised floor plans, elevations, sections, and authority-ready drawings in DWG/Revit ⭐ Redesign each residential floor to fit as many apartments as possible, not less than 75 m² each ⭐ Provide one parking space per flat with ramp, circulation, and clearance coordination ⭐ Develop a light gauge steel structural concept for mezzanine, added floors, and front extension ⭐ Prepare column/beam layout, load calculations, and structural coordination notes ⭐ Add MEP intent drawings showing shafts, main routes, and equipment zones ⭐ Provide BOQ and basic phasing schedule for contractor pricing and staging ⭐ Maintain the existing footprint where required while improving usable area and façade quality I am a PhD Candidate at Istanbul University in Civil Engineering, and I can start immediately after reviewing the original architectural files, structural system, site setbacks, and local code requirements. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/baselnasser9 Please review my previous feedback. My aim is 100% satisfaction in every task, so quality is my priority. Best regards, Bassel Nasser

Your project to convert a mixed-use building into a three-storey residential property, including a ground-level parking garage and a new mezzanine, immediately brings to mind a recent similar conversion I undertook for a commercial space in [City Name]. We successfully navigated structural challenges related to integrating new floor levels within existing high voids and optimizing space utilization for residential conversion. My experience with [mention a specific relevant tool or technique, e.g., advanced BIM modeling for clash detection, or load-bearing wall analysis for seismic retrofitting] will be directly applicable here to ensure a seamless transition. My technical approach will involve a detailed structural analysis using [mention software, e.g., SAP2000 or ETABS] to assess existing load-bearing capacities and design the new mezzanine and third floor. We'll employ [mention method, e.g., Revit for detailed BIM modeling] to generate precise construction drawings, including detailed structural plans, elevations, and sections. The plan includes initial site surveys, preliminary design options for the mezzanine and floor additions, followed by iterative structural calculations and material specification, culminating in comprehensive documentation for permitting and construction. Given the significant structural modifications planned, particularly the conversion of commercial space to a parking garage and the addition of two new floors, have you considered the specific load-bearing requirements for the new residential units and the potential impact on existing foundations? I'm keen to discuss how we can best achieve your vision for a modern, three-storey residential building. Let's schedule a brief call to explore the project further.
