Task Assigned
Uppteam was tasked with delivering robust remote architectural support for the redevelopment of a 26,280-square-foot plot into a multi-family residential project, including two- and three-story residential buildings and an affordable ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) building. Our engagement emphasized providing error-free 3D modeling and permit-ready construction documentation while maintaining compliance with all local regulatory requirements.
Project Timeline
- Phase 1 - Architectural Modeling:
- Developed detailed 3D models for all residential units based on the approved planning inputs.
- Modeled furniture layouts, millwork components, and exterior façade details.
- Ensured modeling precision to support planning submissions and early permitting reviews.
- Phase 2 – Construction Documentation: Prepared a comprehensive set of architectural drawings involving:
- Site Plan and Fire Access Plan
- ADA compliance plans, including kitchen and bathroom elevations
- Egress Plans
- Detailed Floor Plans
- Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP)
- Architectural Sections and Construction Details
Additional Notes
- Our MEP team used NEC as the base, reviewed DPNR amendments, incorporated FAA airport electrical standards, and confirmed compliance with the local AHJ to meet airport-specific and local U.S. Virgin Islands electrical code requirements.
- We also conducted regular coordination reviews with the client to ensure consistent alignment throughout the documentation process.
- The client also wanted us to create advanced drawings that adhere to country-specific standards.
- Our team executed thorough reviews of city and country codes, applying all concerned standards to fire access, egress, and site planning drawings to uphold regulatory compliance and approval readiness.
- Another vital task of the project was to produce extremely detailed construction drawings while maintaining visual clarity and ease of interpretation.
- Uppteam strategically divided floor plans into smaller, well-structured segments to improve readability. Moreover, a separate supporting document was created to house technical notes and project-related data, allowing the drawings to remain clean while still providing complete technical clarity.
