Proof
Case Studies
Anonymized examples of CAD, BIM, documentation, visualization, Scan to BIM, and as-built support for US firms.
Confidential proof
Case-study frameworks built around real production decisions.
Many architecture teams cannot publicly share client names, active drawings, or project outcomes. These transparent workframes show the situation, a sensible first scope, Nest's production role, and the responsibility that stays with your team.
Documentation pressure
Residential Revit and redline support
A studio has design direction and active markups, but not enough internal production time to keep sheets, views, and annotations moving toward a review date.
- Start with
- A defined first scope could be a selected set of sheets, a redline round, or model-and-sheet cleanup tied to the studio's existing template.
- Nest's role
- Nest can take on the agreed updates, keep questions visible, and package revised files and PDFs for the studio's own review.
- Your team's role
- The lead architect retains design decisions, client communication, code judgment, and final issue responsibility.
Existing-building start
Survey or Scan to BIM workframe
A renovation or adaptive-reuse team needs a more usable record of existing conditions before design work can move forward.
- Start with
- A defined first scope could be one floor, a selected building area, or a drawing/model package with clear source references and tolerance expectations.
- Nest's role
- Nest can organize point clouds, surveys, photos, field notes, and old drawings into the agreed CAD, BIM, or PDF handoff with assumptions noted.
- Your team's role
- The project team retains site verification, decisions about uncertain conditions, and responsibility for how the documentation is used.
Commercial documentation lane
Drawing-set production under studio direction
A commercial team needs more capacity for plans, elevations, details, schedules, annotations, and controlled revisions without handing off project ownership.
- Start with
- A defined first scope could be a sheet group, detail package, schedule update, or a focused issue set with a named reviewer and deadline.
- Nest's role
- Nest can support the agreed production lane and return organized working files, PDFs, and open-question notes for the studio's review.
- Your team's role
- The lead architect retains consultant coordination, client decisions, local requirements, and final approval of the issue package.
Evaluate the fit
Start with one controlled package.
The most useful proof is your own project: a scoped task where your team can evaluate communication, file organization, and the review-ready handoff before expanding into CAD, BIM, Revit, visualization, or documentation support.
