Complete Architectural Construction Document Production

Enhancing Architectural Production Capacity

At Uppteam, we help small and medium architectural firms in the U.S. scale their construction document output with our Architectural Offshore Production (AOP). This structured, process-driven approach integrates seamlessly with your in-house workflow. AOP lets you extend your production capacity without the cost and complexity of hiring additional staff.

From design development to detailed documentation, guided by our U.S.-based Principal Architect, our offshore design teams work as an extension of yours, ensuring precision, consistency, and fast turnaround. Your firm stays focused on creativity, client relationships, and winning more projects.

What We're Capable Of:

Uppteam’s AOP service is a strategic extension of your design team. With a dedicated offshore production setup and a U.S.-based Principal Architect with 25+ years of experience, we provide complete support throughout the project lifecycle.

The Proven Three-Phase Approach

Uppteam's Architectural Offshore Production follows a structured three-phase methodology that corresponds to the critical stages of architectural design.

x

Phase 1 – Schematic Design

  • What You Provide: Your firm shares concept sketches, schematic design drawings, and space program requirements that establish the project vision.
  • What We Do: Our designers refine the concept and develop layouts, massing studies, and basic floor plans that translate your vision into workable design solutions.
  • What You Receive: Preliminary floor plans, elevations, site plans, and schematic 3D models that clearly communicate the design intent and spatial relationships.
x

Phase 2 – Design Development

  • What You Provide: Approved schematic designs along with any updated project requirements or client feedback from the initial phase.
  • What We Do: We enhance detail throughout the design, coordinate MEP and structural elements, refine material selections, and develop comprehensive design documentation.
  • What You Receive: Detailed design development drawings, including plans, sections, elevations, and details that fully define the project scope and specifications.
x

Phase 3 – Construction Documents

  • What You Provide: Reviewed design development drawings along with any notes, specifications, or refinements needed for the final documentation.
  • What We Do: Our team finalizes all drawings, completes comprehensive sections and details, develops schedules, and performs final quality reviews, including clash detection and code checks.
  • What You Receive: A complete construction document set with plans, sections, elevations, details, and schedules ready for permitting, bidding, and construction.

    FAQ’s

    Our AOP service is ideal for single-family homes, multi-unit developments, office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. We especially help small to medium firms with peak workloads, those wanting to tackle more projects without hiring, and practices aiming to enhance project turnaround times.

    Our BIM models undergo clash detection and code checks before release, so potential issues are identified early. Each deliverable goes through multiple quality checks, including a final review by our U.S.-based Principal Architect before submission. Our project managers maintain clear communication with you throughout the process.

    Our team is proficient in leading design tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, and ArchiCAD for BIM modeling and drafting. We use cloud-based platforms for easy file sharing and communication. Our skills include 3D modeling, rendering, clash detection, and code compliance verification, and we adapt to your preferred software and workflows for seamless integration.

    A key advantage of AOP is immediate scalability. We can quickly ramp up dedicated team members for your projects within days, allowing you to handle increased workloads during peak periods and scale back during slower times without the complications of layoffs or idle costs. This flexibility helps you maintain a balanced project pipeline while responding rapidly to new opportunities and client demands.
