Problem

The existing building information is scattered

Nest helps organize field information into usable drawings so your team can start design work with a clearer base.

Solution

Clear documentation from mixed inputs

Nest converts available information into plans, elevations, sections, CAD files, Revit files, and review PDFs as agreed.

What you receive

Clear as-built files for the next phase

You receive DWG/Revit/PDF outputs as agreed, plus notes on missing information or areas that may need field confirmation.

What we do

Existing-condition drawing production

Existing-condition drawings from field notes, scans, surveys, old drawings, and markup packages.

01As-built plans, elevations, and sectionsPrepare existing-condition drawings for the agreed building areas using your survey and field information.

02Survey and redline incorporationIncorporate supplied measurements and markups, recording conflicts between old drawings and current site records.

03CAD and Revit deliverablesReturn the agreed editable CAD or Revit files together with PDFs and a list of unresolved conditions.

04Useful output for renovation and due diligenceOrganize the drawing set as a starting reference for your project team; site verification remains with the appointed surveyor or local team.

What to send

Start with the files you already have.

Send the files you already have. We will flag missing inputs before production begins so scope, deadline, and expectations stay clear.

RulesYour standardsTitle blocks, templates, sample sheets, naming rules, software version, lineweights, and preferred output format.

GoalExpected outputTell us what should be delivered: CAD files, Revit model, renderings, PDFs, sheets, notes, or source files.

DateDeadline and review scheduleShare the target delivery date, who reviews the work, and when your team can answer open questions.

How it works

How your as-built drawings assignment is delivered.

You supply the brief and design direction. Nest confirms the scope, produces the work, and returns checked files with any questions that need your decision.

01Share the brief
Share surveys, old drawings, photos, markups, scans, measurements, and notes about uncertain areas.
02Agree the scope
Confirm the deliverables, fee, software version, missing information, and review dates.
03Produce the work
Draft plans, elevations, sections, incorporate markups, clean files, and flag assumptions.
04Check the output
Nest checks the work against the agreed brief and standards and flags unresolved questions.
05Return your files
Receive DWG/Revit/PDF outputs, assumptions, and missing-information notes for follow-up.

Software expertise

Work in the software your team already uses.

Tell us your software version, templates, required add-ins, and file format. We confirm compatibility before production so your team can open and edit the returned files.

FAQ

Common questions before sending files.

Can Nest match our standards?Yes. Send sample sheets, templates, linework standards, naming rules, and example deliverables.

Can we start small?Yes. Nest is designed for per-project support: one redline set, one model, one visualization package, or one deadline.

Who reviews the work?Production is managed and checked by architects before delivery.

Can you work in our Revit or CAD template?Yes. Share the correct software version, templates, title blocks, families, layers, and export requirements before kickoff.

Do you sign NDAs?Yes. NDA requirements can be handled before confidential drawings, models, or client information are shared.

How do revisions work?Revisions are tied to the agreed scope, marked comments, QA notes, and review dates so project managers keep control.

How fast can we start?We confirm current availability and a proposed start date after reviewing the task and source files. The start date is agreed in your proposal.

Do you replace licensed local architects?No. Nest provides production support under your studio direction and does not replace local code responsibility or licensed architect-of-record services.

Best fit

Teams starting from imperfect existing files

Best for architects, interior designers, developers, contractors, and renovation specialists preparing for design, feasibility, or due diligence.

A practical next step

What does your team need completed next?

Discuss your drawing, model, or rendering requirements. We will review the scope and confirm available support before you commit.
