IAS Studio

Our mission is to empower architects to realise their design vision and integrity by offering customised digital project delivery and documentation solutions.

Over the past 6 years we've successfully partnered with architecture firms across the Asia Pacific region and worked on all types of projects - from small to large scale mixed use residential and commercial projects.

We believe BIM (Building Information Modelling) and VDC (Virutal Design & Construction) will continue to be vital to the architecture industry. We're always looking at how the latest tools and technology can help ensure our documentation and models accurately reflect your design vision and maintain your design intent throughout the entire process.

We understand that programming and timing is crucial to the success of your project. That's why we'll tell you exactly what you're going to get and at what cost from the outset.

Put simply, we want to take the stress out of integrated project delivery and documentation - so you can focus on designing.

IAS Studio Manifesto.

Triangles Side By Side
No room for error.

We believe doing the little things well leads to big results.

One team one dream

We believe more information translates to better decisions for everyone involved in a project. That's why we're big believers in collaboration and sharing information.

Do the right thing

We do what we say we are going to do. We take ownership of responsibilities and follow through on our commitments

Looking ahead

We're forward-thinking, curious and always challenging the status quo. We continually ask - how can we be better?

Endlessly curious

We're a bunch of self-confessed technophile nerds. We (obsessively) stay on top of technology and industry trends. In short, we're always learning.

BIM is here

We're big advocates for advancing the use of development of BIM and VDC technology. As digital workflows and new delivery methods evolve, the opportunities will be incredible. And we want to be in the position to take advantage of these opportunities with cutting-edge digital project delivery solutions.

Meet The Team.

We make things happen. We are a team of skilled problem-solvers who enjoy what we do and getting the job done right.
