Construction Document Production
for US Architectural Firms
Permit-Ready, Coordinated, and AIA-Standard Drawing Sets
Producing construction documents requires precision, coordination, and deep familiarity with US building codes, sheet standards, and jurisdictional requirements. Uppteam works as an extension of your production team, delivering complete, well-organized CD
packages that reduce rework, streamline permitting, and help your architects focus on design and client management.
Our team follows US drafting conventions, AIA sheet standards, and discipline-specific coordination procedures under your direction to ensure every drawing and detail is accurate, buildable, and aligned with your workflow.
What We Deliver:
Construction-ready drawings built on your standards and templates.
Clean, fully coordinated BIM models optimized for downstream use.
Detailing that's aligned with typical US construction practices.
Accurate sheet organization, annotation, and QA checks.
Regular progress updates in line with your project cadence.
Schematic
Design Phase
Schematic design sets the foundation for every decision that follows. We collaborate closely with your team to translate design intent into clear diagrams, layouts, massing options, and early-stage models that help owners and stakeholders understand the project’s direction. Our approach emphasizes design clarity, spatial logic, and technical feasibility while preserving the creative goals of the principal designer.
What We Produce during the SD Phase:
Massing studies and simplified BIM geometry.
Preliminary zoning and site-plan checks (FAR, setbacks, height limits).
Program summaries and area takeoff validation.
Early floor plans, core layouts, and circulation diagrams.
Conceptual elevations and façade iterations.
Preliminary accessibility checks (ADA clearances, approach spaces).
Life safety considerations (egress paths, occupancy classifications, travel distances)
Preliminary coordination placeholders for structural grids and MEP zones.
Our SD output provides your team with a clear, documented foundation to advance into DD without losing design intent or rebuilding the model.
Our Schematic Design Approach:
Early constructability review
Jurisdiction-specific code research
Sketch-to-BIM translation
Iteration-friendly modeling
Design
Development Phase
During Design Development, we refine the design into a constructible, coordinated framework. Our team focuses on system integration, envelope logic, structural feasibility, and spatial coordination to ensure the DD package serves as a reliable reference for decisions made by consultants, owners, and contractors. This phase ensures that the project’s technical backbone is sound.
Our DD Phase Deliverables include:
LOD 300 architectural BIM models with clean model organization.
Refinement of floor plans with fully developed partitions, openings, and assemblies.
Building envelope and wall-section development.
Vertical circulation detailing (stairs, elevators, shafts).
Window and door schedules with types and performance notes.
RCP, coordinating lighting, mechanical zones, and ceiling systems.
Interior elevations, finish plans, and finish schedules.
Structural grid locking, clearances, and interface detailing.
MEP integration for chases, equipment rooms, and service zones.
Preliminary annotated sections and details.
We coordinate continuously with your team’s structural and MEP consultants to reduce conflicts early and minimize revision cycles in CDs.
Project Types We Support:
We work across a wide range of US project categories, including:
Multifamily (garden-style, mid-rise, podium, high-rise)
Commercial interiors and corporate workplaces
Quick Service Restaurants, retail, and hospitality
Medical offices and outpatient healthcare facilities
Education (K–12, higher education)
Light industrial and warehouse
Mixed-use and community facilities
Construction
Document Phase
Construction Documents require precision, coordination, and thorough QC to avoid RFIs, change orders, and construction delays. We work rigorously through detailing, interdisciplinary alignment, sheet organization, and annotation consistency. Every CD set is built to reflect practical constructability and clear contractor interpretation.
What We Deliver in the CD Phase:
Comprehensive floor plans with dimensions, annotations, and references.
Enlarged plans for kitchens, bathrooms, core areas, and high-detail zones.
Complete exterior and interior elevations.
Wall sections and building sections with complete assembly detailing.
Coordinated RCPs with lighting, diffusers, sensors, and ceiling systems.
2D and 3D construction details for façade interfaces, waterproofing, insulation, roofing, stairs, and interior assemblies.
Accessibility detailing per ADA 2010 Standards.
Life Safety sheets (occupancy, egress, fire-resistance ratings, travel distances).
Coordinated architectural information aligned with structural and MEP drawings.
Permit-ready sheets formatted per AHJ requirements.
Revision management with clouds, deltas, and issue logs.
Our CD sets are developed for clarity and constructability, with consistent detailing and thorough internal QC aligned with your standards.
Our US-Standard CD Workflow
A structured, six-step production system built for accuracy and low rework.
We work across a wide range of US project categories, including:
Kickoff + Standards Alignment
We review your templates, title blocks, sheet naming, annotation conventions, reference
samples, and jurisdictional requirements.
Model Structuring & Sheet Setup
Our team organizes the BIM model (categories, worksets, levels, grids) and
prepares the sheet index, view templates, and drafting standards.
Drafting & Coordination Cycles
We develop plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and details while
coordinating with structural and MEP drawings.
Redline Integration
Your redlines are applied with version tracking, comments,
revision clouds, and reissued sheets.
Multi-Step QA/QC Review
Three-stage review protocol:
- Technical review by a senior architectural designer.
- Coordination cross-check with linked models.
- Annotation, dimension, and graphical consistency check.
Final Issue + Revision Management
Permit sets, bid sets, construction sets, and revision packages,
issued per your standards.
STANDARDS AND TOOLS
We execute every project within a clearly defined technical framework that aligns with US AEC production standards. We integrate your templates, consultant requirements, and jurisdictional codes into our workflow to ensure that each deliverable is fully aligned with your expectations and compliant with project-specific mandates.
