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.

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.
