Dedicated Team of Four
Four resources worked only on this project, so the client dealt with one consistent team throughout.
Coordinated As-Built Revit Modeling: A Single-Level Restaurant, Chattanooga
A dedicated team of four architects delivered a coordinated, clash-free as-built Revit model for an 8,500 sq. ft. restaurant in 9 working days.
About
Project Overview
Short timelines put production pressure on small architecture firms based in Indianapolis and Chattanooga. They needed an as-built model of a single-level, 8,500 sq. ft. restaurant. They brought us in to add production capacity for this one-off project. Our scope covered as-built drafting in Revit at LOD 350 and a fully coordinated, clash-free model. A dedicated architecture team of four delivered it in 9 working days, and later the client confirmed the output matched their expectations.

Tools We Use
Inside the Tools You Already Use
Revit lets our team build, check, and coordinate the as-built model for the restaurant in one shared environment.

Challenges
Pain Points of The Client
A small architecture team with a nine-day deadline struggled to keep production, quality, and coordination on track for one restaurant.
01
Limited Team Capacity
A small team of architects had little room to take on as-built modeling.
02
Tight Delivery Window
The project had a 9-working-day window, so slow handoffs were not an option.
03
Quality and Rework Worries
The client worried about quality and rework, and the schedule had no room for either.
04
Coordination With Project Management
The model had to be fully coordinated and clash-free, with project management involved throughout.
Our Approach
How We Solved Them
Each challenge got a direct answer, built around a dedicated team, daily checks, and steady communication with the client.
Daily Milestones and Quality Checks
Our project manager tracked daily milestones and checked quality each day to hold the deadline.
Internal Quality Checks Before Submission
Our team ran internal quality checks before submission, and errors and revision cycles dropped 40%.
Clear Communication and Escalation
We kept 4 hours of overlap, sent milestone updates, and used Root Cause Analysis for escalations.
Execution Strategy
End-to-End Project Delivery Through a Phase-Controlled Approach
Our team worked through six stages, from scope alignment to final delivery, so the project stayed on track and deadlines were achieved.
Alignment with Scope and Standard
We confirmed the as-built scope, LOD 350 requirement and deliverables with the client before any modeling began.

Daily checks and coordination
Our project manager was involved in coordination. Reviewed the model every day. This helped us identify and resolve clashes early before submission.

Project Outcomes
Coordinated. Approved. Delivered.
This engagement delivered coordinated as-built models and consistent project support to the client and 8 hours of capacity back daily.
Clash-Free As-Built Model
Our team delivered a fully coordinated as-built model of the 8,500 sq. ft. single-level restaurant.
Freed Daily Capacity of Client Team
Our team freed up 8 hours of the client's in-house capacity every day.
Internally Checked Files
Every file went through our internal quality check before it was submitted to the client.
Milestone-Based Updates
We updated the client at each milestone and kept 4 hours of time-zone overlap.
Confirmed Client Satisfaction
The client was happy, with the quality of the results. They confirmed that the outputs met their expectations.
