Project Overview

The residential project involved architectural modeling and documentation using Archicad 29. The project began with three initial plan options provided by the client. During the design development stage, we worked on elevations, roof elements, and related architectural components until the client selected the final option. Our contributions included floor plans, exterior elevations, building sections, interior elevations for all rooms, ADU bathroom and living room elevations, kitchen cabinets for both floors, and electrical plans organized using layers. We also worked on the site plan, construction activity plan, door and window schedules, and foundation-related elements. After incorporating the required changes, we completed the architectural documentation and submitted the permit drawing package to the client.

The Challenge

What Made This Project Complex

Managing three initial design options required coordinating 3D models, roof designs, and exterior elevations. After client selection, the chosen plan and model were revised before moving to permit documentation. The key challenge was maintaining consistency across architectural drawings, electrical and lighting plans, site plans, interior elevations, sections, and schedules throughout the permit set preparation process.

01 Design Option Coordination: Managing three initial design options, including 3D models, roof designs, and exterior elevations.
02 Design Revisions: Updating the selected floor plan and 3D model based on client feedback and design requirements.
03 Drawing Coordination: Maintaining consistency across architectural drawings, electrical plans, site plans, sections, interior elevations, and schedules for the final permit package.
Our Approach

How Milestone PLM delivered

Archicad 29 was used for architectural modeling and documentation. Initially, three plan options were provided, and work was carried out on elevation and roof options before finalizing one design based on the client selection. The complete permit deliverables included floor plans, exterior elevations, building sections, interior elevations, electrical plans, site plan, construction activity plan, door and window schedules, kitchen cabinet layouts, and foundation-related drawings. All drawings were coordinated and organized into the final permit package submitted to the client.
