How a Project Actually Moves Through Our Desk

Every project goes through the same six stages, in the same order.

Before Your First Project · Once

We Build Your Template First

Before the first project, we build your firm's title block and drawing template, so every set looks like it came from your desk.

Two ways to start. Send a past set and we match it, or fill in a short standards questionnaire.

Included, no extra fee. Onboarding is part of the Partner Program.

Yours to keep. The template file is handed over to you.

One-time only. Every project reuses the same template.

01

Model the Design

Model View — Geometry + Materials

Built from whatever you give us, to the level of development the project actually requires.

Starting point. A sketch, floor plan, existing model, or point cloud.

Target LOD. LOD 100 through 400, set by the project's requirement.

Materials. LOD 300 and up — materials tied to the model, so schedules and take-offs stay accurate.

Coordination. LOD 350 and up — clash detection runs where structural and MEP both exist.

02

Pull the Building Code Requirements

Jurisdiction Checklist

We don't design the building. We check what the jurisdiction requires on the permit set.

Not our design call. We add what's needed to submit the design, not change it.

Jurisdiction-specific. IBC, IRC, FBC, BCBC, or a local amendment.

What has to appear on the sheet. Required notes, schedules, and annotations a reviewer needs.

03

Arrange the Sheet Set

Sheet Index — Ordered by Convention

Sheets are pulled from the model and ordered the way that jurisdiction's reviewers expect.

Project type. New construction and renovation get different sheet lists.

Standard order. Site, floor, foundation and framing plans, elevations, sections, details, roof and drainage.

Sheet numbering. Numbered to match local convention.

04

Apply Your Title Block

Title Block — Your Branding + Project Fields

Every sheet goes out under your firm's identity, using your template from onboarding.

Your branding. Your logo, firm name, and address.

Project details. Client name, project address, and project info filled in.

Consistent formatting. The same template every time.

05

Review and Revise

Markup Log — What Changed, Sheet by Sheet

You mark up the set however you work. You get back a revised set and a log of what was addressed.

Markup format. Clouded PDF, marked-up print, or written list.

Markup response log. Each revision ships with a log against your markups, so nothing gets missed.

Included, no extra fee. Revisions continue until the set is approved.

06

Publish and Deliver

PDF + Model File — Delivered

You get the finished set and the model behind it.

PDF permit set. Ready to submit as-is.

QA checklist included. The checklist we ran against the set: sheet index, dimensions, callouts, purged files.

Model file. The .rvt, plus exports in the formats you need.
