    Share markups, model or CAD files, consultant backgrounds, standards, details, schedules, and issue dates.

  2. 02Agree the scope

    Confirm the deliverables, fee, software version, missing information, and review dates.

  3. 03Produce the work

    Develop drawings, details, schedules, annotations, redline pickup, and coordinated PDF packages.

  4. 04Check the output

    Nest checks the work against the agreed brief and standards and flags unresolved questions.

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.
