CRAYDL
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
We model what matters, and what matters is everything. CRAYDL services are designed to prioritize accuracy and efficiency, helping to tackle the factors that create additional time and expense in the field.
CRAYDL takes an information management approach to planning for the construction and remodeling of homes. CRAYDL’s professional services and technology utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design Construction (VDC) to provide accurate, well-coordinated documentation in the field. We streamline the planning, construction, and remodel of custom homes.
CRAYDL gives you the ability to take control. We are pre-construction project managers on steroids. View our full suite of services.
WHAT IS
CRAYDL?
CRAYDL is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design Construction (VDC) Studio that previews the viability of your vision by bringing architects, builders, designers, and homeowners together to create seamless, efficient, and transparent project execution for residential new home construction, remodels, and supplemental structures, like casitas.
From Pre-Planning to Punch List,
CRAYDL’s Got You

HOW TO WORK WITH CRAYDL
At CRAYDL, we align teams and optimize project efficiency by providing cutting-edge construction information management. When CRAYDL supports your design and development projects, they come together layer by layer. From the earliest stages of preconstruction planning to project completion, we integrate strategy, precision, and clarity to ensure alignment and success.
COMPLETE SYSTEMS FOR BUILDERS—NOT JUST TOOLS
Thinking about taking on a project with a lot of details and complexity?
CONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Are you managing your project, or is your project managing you?
When project phases overlap, communication between teams is paramount, and all your moving parts need to move together, CRAYDL’s got you.
There is a logical order of steps that supports the iterative nature of design and captures the details; we help support that order. Managing all information in a digital twin ensures that when someone updates something somewhere, it is updated electronically in real time for everyone, everywhere, reducing waste and delays in the field.
CRAYDL transforms the chaos of custom home construction into a seamless, intentional process, bridging the gap between vision and execution.
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.
BIM
MODELING
BIM Modeling is how we establish constructability. Architects working in 2D have to coordinate a lot of sheets. Using a building information model automates the coordination of 2D sheets (think when interior doors are taller than ceiling heights, when exterior doors and windows on the floor plan don’t match elevations or schedules). Further modeling mechanical, plumbing, electrical and structural systems allows systems to be sorted through for clashes (think beam locking, or not enough room in roof systems to run ducting).
Your design and construction projects deserve detailed and intelligent 3D Building Information Models that integrate all aspects of a building’s lifecycle, enabling efficient collaboration, improved accuracy, and streamlined management. When BIM Modeling with CRAYDL, you receive all that enlightening information plus experienced guidance to help identify possible pitfalls and avoid them easily.
MEP
PLANS
It takes a builder to build a house. And an architect. It also requires a civil engineer and a structural engineer. There’s likely input from mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineers. Don’t forget about the interior designer and landscape architect!
We manage construction information and perform clash detection for builders, architects, interior designers, and homeowners.
When you need overlays to predict possible conflicts between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, or construction challenges when the design isn’t working with the schematics, you need to know who is managing all this information. That’s where CRAYDL Rocks.
PRODUCTION
DOCUMENTATION
Production and automation of your production documents ensure that everyone has access to the same information in real-time, even as adjustments are made and changes are implemented.
Why do we provide product documentation? Because if it’s modeled, it will be reflected in the plans. By incorporating best practices into our BIM modeling services, we automate a large portion of the creation of construction drawings AND we have the additional benefits of a) making it more accurate (the sheets are produced from the model; if something changes in the model, the impacted sheets are updated automatically, and b) we can provide you accurate quantities of almost anything in the model, streamlining the procurement process with accurate quantities (no more take-offs).
VIRTUAL DESIGN
CONSTRUCTION
Virtual Reality and 3D experiences are how we ensure end clients know what they are getting (or that developers have pretty pictures to sell).
Providing immersive VR experiences becomes achievable with accuracy when the details are in a model. We can always render what’s been specified, ensuring that all parties have an accurate and visual representation of the design intent and objective.
Why do we utilize virtual reality and renderings? Because clients can only confidently approve what they can see. By adding interior design selections and fixtures, as well as landscape and pool design plans, to the model, you can now visualize the home as it is planned to be experienced by the homeowner. This allows each of your clients to express design concerns before construction begins in the field. Because the model for VR is tethered to the models for interior design and landscape design, it ensures that all design inputs are coordinated, measured, and approved where needed by all relevant stakeholders.
INTERIOR DESIGN
INTEGRATION
Enhance your architectural projects with Interior Design Integration to BIM. Seamlessly incorporate detailed interior layouts, furnishings, and finishes into your Building Information Models, ensuring cohesive design, improved collaboration, and precise execution of every detail.
As pioneers in high-end residential construction information management, CRAYDL sets a new industry standard for designing, planning, and building luxury homes. We can help you streamline and improve your residential construction project in many ways.
Why do we do it? Because accuracy and alignment of interior design selections to architecture and engineering are critical. We produce a schedule of all selections required in the architectural model for interior design completion. With those selections, cabinet drawings, RCP designs, and details, we incorporate them into the model. Once the model is approved, we create a standard set of field documentation optimized for builder execution. Alignment, details, and the ability to see when those things are missing are critical to installation.
