CRAYDL HELPS
BRING YOUR DESIGNS TO LIFE
We’ve identified 3 things architects hate doing:
- Gathering existing conditions. CRAYDL’s solution is Scan to BIM. See Below.
- Production documentation, especially when things change. Our architecture clients are often still working in CAD to do 2D drawings. By utilizing Revit properly, we can automate 80% or more of sheet creation and finish the rest for you, ensuring that the details and views between sheets are all accurate and coordinated.
- 3D renderings. With the information in our building information model, we can produce photo realistic renderings and immersive virtual reality experiences.
CRAYDL exists to provide building information modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) services to boutique architecture firms. We simplify and enhance your design and documentation process, ensuring you have a single source of truth throughout your projects.
Let’s work together to deliver exceptional results.
SCAN TO
BIM
Scan to BIM is how we gather existing conditions. We get every light switch, doorknob, receptacle, riser, register, room dimension and more within ¼ inch of accuracy and express it through a 3D Revit model, and 2D views. It’s often used by builders, architects and interior designers to establish exacting & reliable existing conditions. We can export files for use in Revit, CAD or SketchUp.
Why do we do it? Because we believe an inaccurate set of plans cannot be a good set of plans. For remodels, we begin with using a high density LiDAR scanner to capture every cabinets, light fixtures, switch, register, riser, condenser… you get the idea. We model everything we can see (can’t get behind walls), all within ¼ inch of accuracy. Now we have a good starting point.
ADAPTATION AND
AUTOMATION
CRAYDL provides Architects with BIM services for alignment between your design, its constructability, and the owner’s expectations. We see ideas as starting points, not endpoints, so we work to make projects a 10 out of 10. We adopt a mindset of continuous improvement, continually examining the details and pushing ourselves to achieve better, more innovative, and more efficient outcomes.
CRAYDL adapts to your design firm’s unique processes and capabilities, enhancing client engagement and streamlining documentation. Our goal is to support you in ensuring your clients understand the project evolution and help you meet client expectations for increased customer satisfaction.
Rather than managing drafts, people, and payroll, automating production provides you with better production documentation results without the additional overhead.
From vision to viability, CRAYDL adds design maneuverability to your projects.

CRAYDL SERVICES
FOR ARCHITECTS
Craydl founder, Adam Katz, talks with Nicholas Tsontakis, principal architect with Dwell Boldly, about information management and building information modeling as they relate to a custom, hillside home project.
REST EASY
Put your project in the hands of CRAYDL
There is a LOT of waste on a construction site.
Some of it we don’t see: The drywall guy adding 50 sheets of ⅝ inch drywall to my order because he was short on another job.
Some of it we have to see: The homeowner walks into the home after framing and sees soffits in unacceptable areas.
Some of it we are forced to see: The finished product did not match the homeowners' expectations.
We believe that 35% overage in custom residential construction generally falls to the builder, and CRAYDL is deeply passionate and committed to helping builders reduce that 35% to drive better outcomes. If you are interested in learning more about where your 35% hides, let's talk.

Client Testimonials
"We’ve just finished moving into our new home in Sedona, and it couldn’t be more perfect. The design is stunning, especially the way Cathedral Rock is beautifully framed by the large sliding window in our living room. Sitting here on the couch, taking in that view, we’re just so grateful we had the chance to work with CRAYDL. Thank you for helping us create something truly special."
