Our Comprehensive Architecture Outsourcing Services
From initial sketches to final construction documents, our managed teams provide end-to-end support across the entire project lifecycle. We leverage the latest technology to deliver precise, efficient, and innovative architectural solutions.
Core CAD & Documentation Services
We provide high-precision 2D and 3D CAD drafting services that form the backbone of any successful architectural project. Our team ensures that all drawings are accurate, compliant, and delivered on schedule.
- Architectural 2D Drafting: We convert hand sketches, PDFs, and survey data into fully-editable, multi-layered CAD drawings (DWG, DGN, DXF), including floor plans, elevations, and sections.
- Construction Documentation: Our team produces comprehensive and coordinated construction document sets, including detailed drawings, schedules, and specifications, ready for bidding and construction.
- CAD Conversion Services: Seamlessly migrate your legacy paper drawings or image files into accurate, scalable, and intelligent CAD formats, preserving valuable historical data.
- As-Built Drawings & Record Keeping: We update design drawings to reflect post-construction changes, creating precise as-built documentation essential for facility management and future renovations.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) Services
Harness the power of BIM to improve collaboration, reduce errors, and streamline project delivery. Our BIM experts create and manage intelligent 3D models that serve as a single source of truth for the entire project team.
- 3D BIM Modeling (LOD 100-500): We develop detailed architectural, structural, and MEPF models to various Levels of Development (LOD), from conceptual massing to fabrication-ready detail.
- BIM Coordination & Clash Detection: Using Navisworks and Solibri, we identify and resolve clashes between different disciplines before construction begins, saving significant time and cost.
- 4D Construction Sequencing & 5D Cost Estimation: We integrate schedule (4D) and cost (5D) data into the BIM model, enabling powerful project visualization, planning, and budget management.
- Point Cloud to BIM Modeling: We transform laser scan data (point clouds) into accurate and intelligent BIM models of existing structures, perfect for renovation and retrofit projects.
- Revit Family Creation: Our team creates custom, parametric Revit families for building components (doors, windows, furniture, MEP equipment) to enhance model accuracy and consistency.
Visualization & Rendering Services
Bring your designs to life with stunning, photorealistic visualizations. We help you communicate your vision effectively to clients, investors, and stakeholders, facilitating faster approvals and better marketing.
- Photorealistic 3D Rendering: We create high-resolution interior and exterior renderings that showcase materials, lighting, and ambiance with incredible realism using tools like V-Ray and Corona.
- Architectural Walkthroughs & Flythroughs: Immerse stakeholders in your design with dynamic animated videos that provide a virtual tour of the proposed space, highlighting key features and spatial qualities.
- Virtual Reality (VR) & Augmented Reality (AR) Experiences: Offer a truly interactive experience by allowing users to explore your designs in a 1:1 scale VR environment or overlay digital models onto the real world with AR.
Specialized & Future-Ready Services
Stay ahead of the curve with our advanced architectural services. We integrate cutting-edge technology to optimize design, improve sustainability, and deliver next-generation buildings.
- Conceptual Design & Feasibility Studies: Collaborate with our team in the early stages to develop design concepts, conduct site analysis, and perform feasibility studies to ensure project viability.
- Sustainable & Green Building Design Support: We provide analysis and documentation support for green building certifications like LEED and BREEAM, including energy modeling and daylight analysis.
- AI-Powered Generative Design: We utilize generative design tools to rapidly explore thousands of design options based on your specific goals and constraints, optimizing for factors like cost, performance, and spatial efficiency.
Success Stories in Architectural Outsourcing
The Challenge
The client was awarded a large-scale, 300-unit apartment complex project with an aggressive timeline. Their in-house team was at full capacity, and they faced significant delays in producing the required construction documentation, jeopardizing the project start date.
Key Challenges:
- Inability to scale the in-house team fast enough.
- Risk of coordination errors between architectural, structural, and MEP plans.
- Need for high-quality, permit-ready drawings compliant with local codes.
- Pressure to reduce the documentation phase to fast-track construction.
Our Solution
LiveHelpIndia deployed a dedicated, managed team of 6 Revit specialists and a BIM coordinator within 72 hours. The team integrated directly with the client's project manager via BIM 360.
- Developed a detailed LOD 350 BIM model for all disciplines.
- Conducted weekly clash detection sessions, resolving over 500 critical issues pre-construction.
- Automated sheet creation and scheduling within Revit to accelerate documentation output.
- Provided 24/5 support to accommodate urgent requests and revisions from the client's design leads.
The Challenge
The firm wanted to expand its portfolio but was constrained by its capacity for producing high-quality 3D visualizations and detailed drawing sets. They were turning down potential projects and struggling to meet demanding client presentation deadlines.
Key Challenges:
- Lack of in-house expertise in advanced rendering and VR.
- Production bottlenecks in the design development phase.
- Difficulty in communicating complex design concepts to clients.
- High cost and scarcity of local visualization talent.
Our Solution
We provided a flexible, on-demand team of two 3D artists and one CAD technician. This "POD" model allowed the client to utilize our services on a project-by-project basis without a long-term commitment.
- Produced photorealistic renderings and animated walkthroughs for 5 major project bids.
- Developed interactive VR experiences, allowing clients to virtually step inside their future spaces.
- Took over the production of detailed interior elevations and millwork drawings, freeing up the client's designers.
- Maintained the firm's specific design aesthetic and branding across all visuals.
The Challenge
The client was tasked with designing the MEP systems for a renovation of an existing hospital wing. The original building plans were outdated and inaccurate, and the density of services in ceilings and walls made clashes a near certainty.
Key Challenges:
- Lack of reliable as-built documentation for the existing structure.
- Extremely high risk of clashes between new MEP systems and existing conditions.
- Need for a highly accurate model to facilitate prefabrication of components.
- Tight project schedule with zero tolerance for on-site delays.
Our Solution
Our team took the client-provided laser scan data and executed a comprehensive Point Cloud to BIM conversion. We assigned a team of 4 Revit MEP specialists with specific healthcare experience.
- Created a precise LOD 400 architectural and structural model from the point cloud data.
- Modeled all new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems within the as-built environment.
- Performed rigorous, multi-level clash detection in Navisworks, delivering weekly reports.
- Generated detailed, fabrication-ready spool drawings for mechanical piping directly from the coordinated model.
