BOQ Take off From a construction drawing

I need a detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ) created from a PDF architectural drawing for a residential unit. The unit is a 3-bedroom A-frame house (222 m² BUA). You will only be provided one PDF drawing set, similar to a typical architectural plan with floor plans and sections. Your task is simply to measure and list the quantities that appear in the drawing. You do not need to estimate foundations, civil works, or anything that is not shown in the drawings. Scope of Work Using the PDF drawings provided, prepare a BOQ including quantities for items visible in the drawing such as: Internal walls / partitions Glazing and doors Floor finishes Ceiling finishes Joinery shown in the plans Bathroom fixtures (toilets, basins, showers, etc.) Kitchen fixtures shown Decking Stairs Balustrades Roof structure and roof covering Any other elements clearly shown in the drawing Only include items that can reasonably be measured from the drawings. Deliverable Provide an Excel BOQ including: Item description Quantity Unit (m², m³, lm, each, etc.) Space for contractor rates The Excel should allow easy calculation of total costs and cost per m². Notes Drawings will be provided in PDF format Dimensions are in millimetres This is a measurement/takeoff task, not a full engineering BOQ Accuracy and clarity are important

CAD Designer Needed to Create 3D Printable Modular Pieces

Job Title: CAD Designer Needed to Create 3D Printable Modular Marble Run Pieces Description: I am looking for a mechanical CAD designer to help create a prototype design for a modular marble run.
