  • Project Review

    Step 1 - Project Review

    Before any fabrication begins, we review all provided drawings, plans, and 3D models. This includes CAD files, PDFs, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, or conceptual sketches.

    We confirm scale, level of detail, materials, finishes, special requests, and delivery expectations. Goals of this step:

    Understand your timeline

    Align on scope and model purpose

    Confirm required details and budget range

  • Digital Model Preparation

    Step 2 — Digital Model Preparation

    Once the scope is confirmed, we begin preparing the digital model for fabrication.

    We clean, simplify, or rebuild your geometry to ensure accuracy at the selected scale. This stage may include:

    Optimizing the model for 3D printing or CNC

    Extracting massing from complex BIM files

    Adjusting façade details based on scale

    Preparing landscape and site topography

    Separating components for assembly

    This step ensures the finished model is clean, accurate, and manufacturable.

  • Fabrication

    Step 3 - Fabrication

    We combine advanced digital manufacturing with traditional craftsmanship.

    Techniques include:

    High-resolution 3D printing

    CNC milling for terrain and solid components

    Laser cutting for crisp edges and fine details

    Precision trimming and shaping of materials

    This is where your project begins to take physical form.

  • Assembly & Finishing

    Step 4 - Assembly & Finishing

    All fabricated components are hand-assembled by our experienced model makers.
    We focus on clean edges, tight joints, smooth surfaces, and accurate color representation.

    Finishing may include:

    Painting or airbrushing

    Applying textures and façade treatments

    Adding landscape, water, or hardscape elements

    Installing internal or external lighting (optional)

    Mounting on a custom base or display platform

    Quality control is performed throughout the build.

  • Step 5 - Quality Check and Packaging

    DescripBefore delivery, every model goes through a detailed inspection.

    We verify:

    Dimensional accuracy

    Clean assembly and finishing

    Lighting functionality (if applicable)

    Stability and durability for transport

    Models are then packed in custom protective travel cases to ensure safe nationwide shipping.tion goes here

  • Step 6 - Delivery & Installation

    Description goeWe provide secure nationwide delivery.
    Depending on your needs, we offer:

    Standard shipping

    White-glove delivery

    On-site installation support

    Your model arrives ready for presentations, exhibitions, sales galleries, and investor meetings.s here

File Requirements

To ensure accuracy and a smooth production process, we accept a wide range of file formats from architectural and design software. Our team can prepare, clean, and optimize your model for fabrication.

We accept the following formats:

  • Revit (.rvt)

  • Rhino (.3dm)

  • SketchUp (.skp)

  • AutoCAD (.dwg / .dxf)

  • STL / OBJ

  • PDF plans

  • Hand sketches (for early concept models)

  • Photos (for massing models or small scale model)

If you are unsure whether your files are ready for production, simply share what you have—we’ll guide you through the next steps.
