2d•Onsite

About The Position

United Built Homes is seeking an Architectural Drafter to join their team, focused on developing construction documents for homes built across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. This role is not a traditional drafting position, as the company is actively transitioning its plan development and construction documentation into Higharc, a modern, parametric home design platform. This platform aims to enable faster work, reduce errors, and bring consistency to plans at scale. The ideal candidate will have residential drafting experience and an interest in working with an advanced, system-driven approach to home design. The role is described as building a system rather than reactive, one-off drafting, utilizing Higharc for configurable, standardized plans connected to pricing and construction logic, contributing to a scalable, semi-custom home platform.

Requirements

Experience with residential construction drawings (required)
Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or similar CAD software
Strong attention to detail and understanding of how homes are actually built
Ability to work independently and as part of a team to meet deadlines
Willingness to learn and work within a structured, system-driven design environment

Responsibilities

Develop and finalize construction documents for sold homes
Work within Higharc to generate and refine plan sets
Review and validate drawings for accuracy, completeness, and buildability
Coordinate with internal teams (sales, design, construction) to ensure plans align with customer selections and field requirements
Help identify and resolve edge cases where plans require additional attention or clarification
Contribute to improving how we standardize and scale our plan library
