RIght now, I maybe an odd commodity.....a licensed architect who consults with other architects to do just what you are looking for. Someone to be the support for projects just when you need it.
Since the downsizing of so many firms in 2008, you would be surprised as to the number of downsized sole practitioners out there who just got tired of the office politics and did not want to go back to that situation. I work a lot with other sole practitioners who may enjoy marketing and doing the design work up to the CD phase and would rather someone else do the CDs while they do something they are better at doing. So I found a niche of doing specs and CDs (revit.only) for other Architects. When I get a my own big project I will do the seeking out my fellow small firms to hand off doing details or other task that I can import into my model just like other consultants.
So that being said, network with other small firms or sole practitioners using revit or go to your local aia or csi meetings and ask around.
I may be early to the paradigm shift but I think in a few more recession cycles most everyone will be a freelancer/consultants except for interns who need the hours for licensing.
This is me Enjoying the flexibility, freedom of a consulting architect

A few years into being a solo practitioner and I need some extra hands at times. Right now to handle Revit CDs. Good problems to have!
What flexible staffing approaches do people find work to handle increased workload?
