Multi-Family Residential

From Redlines to Renders: Multi-Family Apartment, Las Vegas

From resolving drawing discrepancies to developing facade options and realistic 3D renders, the 225,624 sq.ft. residential project progressed through a structured workflow.

Multi-family apartment BIM visualization, Las Vegas
Overview

Project Overview

A Las Vegas-based architectural design firm engaged our team to support documentation review and design visualization for a multi-family apartment development. The project was executed through a dedicated remote architect embedded within the client's workflow, enabling fast iteration on documentation updates and facade visualization while maintaining continuous coordination.

The result was a clean documentation set and a compelling visual package that enabled the client to move confidently into design approvals and next-stage development.

Tools We Use

Inside the Tools You Already Use

Delivery ran in Autodesk Revit, Lumion, and AutoCAD so outputs landed in the same platforms your team already uses for documentation and design reviews.

Client Challenges

Pain Points of the Client

These four constraints shaped the engagement and drove a documentation-first, visualization-led approach.

01

Drawing Discrepancies & Coordination Gaps

Existing drawings had inconsistencies that needed correction before the project could progress to production.

02

Design Decision Bottleneck

Multiple facade and material options were needed with no clear visual reference to start decision-making from.

03

First-Time Documentation Involvement

Fast onboarding and precise understanding of requirements were critical from day one of engagement.

04

Dual-Purpose Output Needed

Visuals had to serve both technical approvals and marketing needs simultaneously.

Our Approach

How We Solved It

A remote architect embedded in the client's workflow closed gaps from redlines through renders.

Structured Documentation Review

Audited AutoCAD drawings based on comments and created a consolidated RFI list to resolve conflicts before production.

Systematic Mark-Up Resolution

Incorporated technical and graphical mark-ups into AutoCAD files, ensuring layer consistency and coordination.

Multiple Facade Options, Iteratively Refined

Created 3D facade models in Revit on client references, U.S. standards, exploring materials & massing through iterative reviews.

High-Quality Renders for Dual Use

Exported Revit models to Lumion for photorealistic renderings and delivered interior, exterior packages for approvals and marketing.

Execution Strategy

A Structured Delivery Workflow - Phase by Phase

The project progressed through a structured delivery workflow. Beginning with documentation audit and RFI consolidation, followed by coordinated drawing updates, BIM facade development, and final visualization.

  1. Documentation Review

    AutoCAD audit against submission comments to establish a clean baseline before production updates.
