Available to hire
I’m Arefin Murad, an architect and CAD professional with 13.5 years of hands-on experience across large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Since 2012, I’ve supported design and documentation for major airport, metro rail, factory, and mixed-use developments, working with international contractors, consultants, and manufacturers to deliver accurate shop drawings, coordination drawings, and as-built documentation.
I enjoy hard, challenging work where attention to detail, adaptability, and collaboration matter. In recent roles I’ve prepared GA shop drawings for approval, developed architectural/structural/facade/landscape drawings, checked EME coordination, and produced RAJUK and as-built drawings. I’m also comfortable working across teams and sites to track drawing status, respond through RFI/RFA processes, and keep projects moving smoothly with reliable technical outputs.
