Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, with a nationwide reach, Craydl offers a range of technology-based solutions and services tailored for boutique architecture firms. In an industry where the top firms allocate up to 30% of their total headcount to technology, how can smaller firms stay competitive while focusing on their core – architecture & design? The answer lies in smarter planning, adopting new technologies such as BIM, process automation, and information management, along with new processes including lean practices, continuous improvement, and agility.
Mastering the Art of Program Management and BIM
Why is BIM so important? Simply stated: when done correctly, it can solve a lot of problems before they occur. You might immediately think ‘clash detection’ and, like a lot of architects conclude, “well that’s neat, but none of my consultants work in BIM.” That’s where we come in. We model everyone’s work, and can produce .dwg’s for team members to work in their native tools, and then pull it into the BIM. Structural engineering, same thing. MEP, same thing. Civil… you get the idea. Even the interior designers work will be pulled into Revit and scheduled. Not only does this allow for proper clash analysis, but it ensures that downstream design considers upstream design, and that when needed, can communicate required detail-related changes. As we like to remind our clients, problems that cost a dollar during design to correct would have cost fifty dollars in the field.
The advantage for the builder is that, when properly modeled, material schedules can be extracted from the BIM for accurate take offs and big-time savings. That is a big differentiator.
Turning Scans into Plans with Cutting-Edge Technology
Scan to BIM services make producing an accurate LOD500 model, complete with photogrammetry a reality, drastically reducing the need for site visits, revisions, and unexpected costs when assessing existing conditions. By harnessing tools like Register360, Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud, we maintain a streamlined, accessible flow of project data, enabling better decisions and a bulletproof plan.
Visualizing Success with 3D Rendering and Technical Drafting
Providing 3D visualization services becomes much easier when the information is all in the model. Today, not only can you provide clients with wonderful, lifelike still 3D renderings, but you can also now provide videos, virtual reality walkthroughs, schematics and more, so that part of your services include crystal-clear visuals that communicate your vision effectively.
