Architecture

We work with architectural practices in several countries, supporting all stages of the design, modelling and detailing process. We assist in the design and development of global architectural projects from our offices working to specific client terms of reference.

After developing region-specific domain knowledge of the codes and regulations for the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, we deliver a range of architectural documentation and design needs to architects and other professionals in the field.

Our architectural services are classified into 4 broad categories:

• Architectural Design Support
• Architectural BIM
• Architectural Rendering
• Offshore Architectural Design Team

Architectural Design Support

We provide design support during all stages of architectural design, including:

• Concept Design/Schematic Design
• Design Development
• Construction Documentation

During the Concept Design stage, we create two to three design options as sketches and attach a rough cost estimate to each option. Once selected, we will refine the design option during the Design Development phase and update the cost estimate. During the Construction Documentation phase, drawings, notes and technical specifications necessary for bidding, construction and permit application are created.

Architectural BIM

Building Information Modelling (BIM) enables design implementation while facilitating collaboration and the exchange of information. We provide architectural BIM modelling and drafting services to enable design modelling from pre-construction concept stages through to detailed construction stages. In addition to 3D parametric modelling, we provide 4D (time schedule) and 5D (cost) Revit BIM services. We provide architectural 3D modelling and architectural drafting for retail design models, including detailed plans, sections and elevations as well as accurate equipment and fixture schedules. As a part of our architectural BIM modelling and drafting service, we provide clash-free models with accurate building materials and detailed construction schedules.

Architectural Rendering

Architectural rendering serves as an efficient communication tool for internal design approvals and reviews during the conceptualisation and design phases, helping construction teams view proposed layouts. We combine the latest in visualisation technology, in-depth knowledge of local requirements and the expertise of our skilled designers to deliver architectural 3D rendering for conceptual planning, designing and marketing. We provide photo-realistic images and easily navigable 3D walkthroughs that enable the visual experience of spaces.

Offshore Architectural Design Team

Our team includes interior designers, architects, draftsmen, 3D modellers and architectural technicians who are experienced users of specialist architectural design software. Our service is increasingly adopted on a dedicated team basis by architects on four continents. This enables a team of architectural technicians to work for a sole client, ensuring quality and efficiency and other advantages. This approach is used by architects for large and small repetitive projects, such as housing and retail firms.

As well as domain and technical experience, we have developed processes and protocols to manage architectural projects and use a range of online collaboration and file-sharing tools to manage design updates and design briefings.
