About Us

Revive & Renew Remodeling (Dallas / Collin / Rockwall) is a residential remodeling company focused on high-quality craftsmanship and a smooth client experience. We run organized projects, communicate clearly, and we’re building repeatable systems for growth.

What You’ll Do

1) Client Design & Preconstruction

• Lead discovery meetings, style alignment, and space planning for kitchens, baths, interior reconfigs, and additions
• Create concept direction: mood boards, finish palettes, and material standards per project
• Develop layouts (kitchen/bath cabinetry, fixture locations, clearances) and coordinate constructability with field team
• Present design options, guide decisions, and document approvals

2) Drawings / Permit Sets (Residential)

• Produce clear, buildable plan sets for permit and construction use (see deliverables below)
• Maintain “Issued For Construction” (IFC) drawings and update as change orders occur
• Coordinate with our structural engineer for sealed details when scope requires it (beams, openings, foundation/framing, etc.)
• Coordinate trade input (cabinet shop drawings, plumber/electrician layouts, HVAC notes) to reduce conflicts

3) Procurement & Order Management

• Own the selections-to-order pipeline: quotes, lead times, ordering, tracking, receiving, and issue resolution
• Confirm quantities, specs, and compatibility (valves/trim, rough-in requirements, cabinet fillers, transitions, etc.)
• Manage vendor relationships (showrooms, cabinet lines, tile suppliers, plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware)
• Track budgets/allowances, document overages, and support change orders tied to selections
• Handle damages/returns/warranty claims with vendors and manufacturers

4) Project Support (During Construction)

• Participate in jobsite walkthroughs as needed for field verification and design intent
• Answer RFI-style questions from field team quickly (details, transitions, installation intent)
• Punch-list support: confirm finish details, final styling, missing items, warranty docs

What Success Looks Like (90-Day Targets)

• You can run client design meetings confidently and keep decisions moving
• You’re producing clean, consistent plan sets that reduce jobsite ambiguity
• Procurement runs on-time with minimal “surprise lead times”
• Field team trusts your details; clients feel guided and confident

Duties

• Develop conceptual interior design ideas aligned with client needs and project goals.
• Create detailed plan sets, elevations, sections, and 3D models using software such as SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros 3D, and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Prepare accurate drafting documents, including construction details, lighting plans, and remodeling layouts.
• Collaborate with clients to select color schemes, materials, lighting fixtures, and furnishings based on color theory and current design trends.
• Manage project timelines (for procurement purposes) and coordinate with contractors on renovation and construction phases.
• Assist in lighting sales consultations by designing lighting solutions that enhance aesthetic appeal and functionality.
• Prepare contracts, budgets, and proposals for interior projects while ensuring compliance with client specifications.
• Conduct site visits to oversee project progress, ensure adherence to plans, and address any design or construction issues promptly.
• Stay current with industry standards, new materials, and innovative design techniques to continually improve project quality.

Qualifications

Required Skills / Experience

• Experience in residential remodeling design (kitchens/baths strongly preferred)
• Proficient in SketchUp (or Chief/2020/Revit + willingness to adapt) and construction drawing creation
• Strong knowledge of common residential materials and install constraints
• Organized: can track many moving parts (lead times, budgets, approvals, orders)
• Clear client communication and professional presentation skills
• Comfortable with occasional site visits across Dallas-area counties

Nice to Have

• Experience preparing permit drawings and coordinating with city plan review
• Cabinet design experience (layouts, elevations, fillers, clearances)
• Familiarity with JobTread, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, or similar
