Production workflow
A practical process for US firms that need outside architecture production support.
Outsourcing architectural production works best when the scope, standards, review schedule, and final deliverables are clear before production begins. Nest keeps the workflow simple so principals and project managers do not have to manage another complicated vendor relationship.
The process below applies to CAD drafting, BIM modeling, Revit documentation, construction documentation, 3D visualization, Scan to BIM, as-built drawings, and dedicated monthly architect support.
- 01
Send files
Share drawings, models, PDFs, point clouds, markups, standards, deadlines, and software requirements.
- 02
Scope review
We confirm the scope, required files, fee, delivery dates, and any questions to resolve before work starts.
- 03
Production
Nest produces the CAD, BIM, Revit, visualization, or as-built work with steady check-ins.
- 04
QA
Architect-led review checks consistency, completeness, file organization, and scope alignment.
- 05
Delivery
You receive packaged outputs, notes, and files ready for your internal review or next revision.
Good first projects
Start with a defined package before scaling support.
Good trial projects include CAD redline pickup, a Revit sheet set, a small Scan to BIM task, an as-built drawing package, or a focused rendering set. Once the workflow is proven, firms can move into broader architecture production services or a dedicated architect subscription.
