Yes. Artimist can develop a custom home from a brief, site information, sketches, reference images or an early floor-plan idea. Depending on scope, the work can include layout development, exterior design, architectural drawings and 3D visualization so the design is understood before construction begins.

Yes. Hand sketches, marked-up PDFs, photographs and measured information can be translated into a clean architectural floor plan. Accuracy depends on the information supplied, so dimensions, existing drawings and site measurements are especially useful when the plan will be used for later design or documentation.

Yes. Existing plans can be reviewed and changed to improve room sizes, circulation, privacy, storage, furniture fit and relationships between spaces. We can work from DWG, PDF, image files or a redrawn base plan, depending on what you already have.

Yes. Many projects only need focused changes. We can study specific problems such as an awkward kitchen, poor circulation, small bedrooms, limited storage or an inefficient entrance while keeping the parts of the existing plan that already work.

Yes. Floor plans and elevations can be developed into a 3D model and realistic exterior or interior views. This helps compare materials, proportions, windows, lighting and design options before expensive construction decisions are made.

Yes. Artimist can help develop room additions, extensions, second-floor additions and related existing/proposed drawings. The final documentation required for approval depends on the local jurisdiction and whether structural or other licensed consultant input is required.

Yes. We can develop detached backyard ADUs, attached ADUs and garage-conversion concepts, including floor plans, elevations, sections and 3D design support where required. Local zoning, setbacks, parking, utilities and permit requirements still need to be verified for the specific property.

Yes. A garage conversion can be studied for layout, openings, access, kitchens, bathrooms, storage and exterior changes. Existing conditions and local regulations determine what is feasible, so accurate measurements and any available property information should be provided at the start.

Yes. Old drawings, listing plans, real-estate images and site photographs can help establish the starting point. They are useful for design studies, but verified dimensions may still be needed before producing accurate existing-condition or permit-support documentation.

Stock plans are pre-designed for broad use. Custom house plans are developed around a particular brief, site, lifestyle and set of priorities. Custom work gives more control over room relationships, orientation, architectural character and future changes, but it also requires more design input and coordination.

Cost depends on project size, complexity, the starting information, required drawings, number of design options and whether visualization or permit-support documentation is included. We review the brief first so the fee reflects the actual scope rather than forcing every project into the same package.

It combines interior design decisions with three-dimensional visualization. We can study layout, furniture, materials, lighting, color and spatial atmosphere, then show the proposed room in realistic views before renovation, purchasing or construction begins.

Yes. Remote interior design can work from floor plans, measurements, photographs, videos and reference images supplied by the client. Clear dimensions and photographs are important because the accuracy of the 3D space depends on the quality of the existing information.

Yes. Reference images are useful for communicating atmosphere, materials, furniture types and architectural preferences. We use them to understand direction rather than simply copying another project, then develop a coherent design for your own space.

Yes. PDF, CAD or other architectural plans can be used to build a 3D model. Depending on the information available, we can then produce interior views, exterior views, material studies or presentation renderings from the same coordinated model.

Architectural rendering is the creation of images that communicate a proposed building or interior before it exists. A rendering can be simple and diagrammatic or highly photorealistic, depending on whether the goal is design review, client approval, marketing, planning or final presentation.

Rendering usually refers to the final image or output. Architectural visualization is the broader process of translating design information into understandable visual media, which can include still images, diagrams, animation, virtual tours and real-time interactive experiences.

Yes. DWG, RVT, SketchUp and other model or drawing formats can provide the geometric starting point. We review the source files first because model quality, missing information and material detail can affect how much preparation is required before visualization begins.

Yes. When the source model and design information are coordinated, the same project can be developed into exterior, interior, aerial and detail views. This helps keep materials and architectural decisions consistent across the full presentation set.

Yes. We produce cinematic walkthroughs, flythroughs and motion sequences for architecture, interiors and development presentations. The required model detail, shot list, duration and delivery format are agreed before production so animation effort stays aligned with the intended use.

Yes. Real-time environments can be developed when a project benefits from interactive movement, live material exploration or immersive presentation rather than only fixed images. We first determine whether Unreal Engine is the right delivery method for the project instead of using it where a conventional render would be more efficient.

Rendering cost depends on the quality of the starting model, number of views, complexity, landscaping, furniture, level of realism, revisions and deadline. A single clean view from a well-prepared model is very different in scope from a full marketing set built from incomplete drawings.

Permit drawings are documents used to communicate a proposed project to a building or planning authority. The exact required sheets vary by location and project type, but may include existing and proposed plans, elevations, sections, site information, notes and coordination with structural or other specialist documents.

That depends on the renovation. Common drawings include existing plans, demolition plans, proposed floor plans, elevations, sections and relevant details. Structural changes, additions, changes of use or jurisdiction-specific requirements may introduce additional engineering, code or consultant documentation.

Yes. We provide drafting, design and permit-support documentation based on the agreed scope. However, submission procedures, professional seals and licensed-professional requirements vary by jurisdiction, so local requirements must be confirmed for the specific project.

Artimist provides design, drafting and documentation services. Where a city, state, province or other authority requires documents to be reviewed, signed or stamped by a locally licensed architect or engineer, that licensed professional must provide the required professional certification.

Yes, subject to that professional's own review process and local rules. We can coordinate our production with a client's locally licensed architect or engineer, respond to markups and revise the drawing package as required for their review.

Yes. We can document the existing condition from reliable source information and prepare proposed plans, elevations or sections showing the intended changes. Verified measurements are important because permit and construction decisions should not rely on unconfirmed geometry.

Yes. If the review comments relate to our agreed drawing scope, we can update the package and coordinate the revisions. Comments requiring structural engineering, energy calculations, specialist reports or licensed professional judgment may need input from the relevant consultant.

No. Permit approval is controlled by the relevant authority and depends on local regulations, property conditions, consultant requirements and the authority's review. We can prepare and revise documentation within our scope, but no design or drafting provider can responsibly guarantee an authority's approval.

Permit drawings focus on the information needed for regulatory review, while construction drawings communicate how the approved design is to be built and coordinated. There can be overlap, but construction documentation often requires more detail, specifications and coordination than a basic permit set.

Useful starting information includes existing drawings, verified measurements, survey or site information where relevant, photographs, the proposed scope, local authority requirements and any consultant information already available. Better source information generally reduces assumptions and revision time.

Our BIM work includes architectural modeling, Revit drafting, model development, drawing production, CAD-to-Revit conversion, PDF-to-Revit workflows, Scan-to-BIM support and coordinated documentation. Scope and model standards are defined before production begins.

Yes. CAD drawings can be used as a basis for a Revit model, but the process is not simply an automatic file conversion. Geometry, levels, families, model organization, documentation requirements and the intended LOD must be agreed so the resulting Revit file is useful rather than only visually similar.

Yes. PDF drawings can be redrawn and modeled in Revit when they contain enough reliable information. Where dimensions or sections are missing, assumptions must be identified or resolved through additional source material before the model is treated as accurate.

Yes. Point-cloud or scan data can be translated into organized BIM geometry based on the required scope and level of detail. The expected accuracy, model elements and deliverables should be agreed before work starts because Scan-to-BIM requirements can vary significantly between surveys, existing buildings and facility-management uses.

LOD 300 generally describes model elements with defined size, shape, quantity, location and orientation suitable for coordinated design documentation. The exact interpretation should still be agreed within the project's BIM requirements because different teams can use LOD terminology differently.

Yes, when the project requires it. LOD 350 typically adds interfaces and relationships needed for greater coordination between building systems. We confirm which elements require that depth rather than applying unnecessary detail across an entire model.

Yes. Architecture and development teams can provide their templates, title blocks, view standards, naming conventions and project requirements. We aim to work inside the client's system rather than forcing a separate Artimist standard onto an established production workflow.

Yes. Revit production can include project families, reusable families where appropriate, views, sheets, annotations, schedules and drawing organization. The exact family complexity and parameter requirements should be defined because lightweight documentation families and data-rich content are very different tasks.

Yes. We can work as an external production extension for architecture, design, construction and development teams. This can be project-based or structured around a recurring workload, with clear task ownership, review stages and delivery standards.

Quality checks depend on the scope but can include model organization, warnings, naming, sheet consistency, view setup, family hygiene, duplicated content and agreed BIM standards. The goal is to return a model another team can continue using, not only a file that looks correct in screenshots.

Artimist Productions is a multidisciplinary design and creative production studio working across architecture, residential design, interiors, BIM and Revit, drafting, architectural visualization, animation, real-time experiences and related creative production. Projects can involve one discipline or several connected through the same studio direction.

Yes. Homeowners commonly approach us for custom house plans, floor-plan changes, additions, ADUs, renovation drawings, exterior design, 3D interior design and visualization. We explain what we can provide directly and where local licensed professionals or consultants may also be required.

Yes. Professional clients use Artimist for BIM, Revit, drafting, documentation, rendering, animation and production capacity. We can work behind an existing project lead, follow established standards and keep client-facing responsibility with the appointed architecture, design or development team.

Yes. Artimist works remotely with U.S. homeowners and professional teams. We can use imperial units and U.S. drawing conventions, but permit, stamp and code requirements remain jurisdiction-specific and must be verified for the city, county or state involved.

Yes. The studio is structured for remote international delivery and works with clients across multiple markets. Project standards, units, file formats, meeting times and local professional requirements are clarified at the beginning so the workflow fits the project location.

Pricing depends on project size, quality of source information, required deliverables, complexity, revision expectations and deadline. Some scopes are best priced as a fixed project and others as ongoing production support. We review the brief before confirming the appropriate commercial structure.

Both structures are possible depending on the work. Clearly defined deliverables often suit fixed project pricing, while evolving production support, revision-heavy work or ongoing team extension may be more appropriate on an hourly, daily or monthly basis.

Timelines vary widely. A focused drafting or rendering task may take days, while a custom home, BIM model or coordinated documentation package can take much longer. The schedule is confirmed after reviewing the brief, source files, expected revisions and required delivery stages.

The included revision allowance is stated in the project agreement. As a general working principle, revisions apply to the agreed scope rather than unlimited redesign. New requirements, major changes after approval or added deliverables can be treated as additional scope.

Yes. NDA and confidential working arrangements are available where appropriate. Professional clients can also request white-label or non-public delivery so unreleased projects, client information and production files are handled within the agreed confidentiality boundaries.

No. Confidentiality, publication rights and portfolio use depend on the project agreement and client permissions. Projects under NDA or with restricted publicity are handled accordingly.

Send a short description of the project, location, what you need delivered, your deadline and any available drawings, models, sketches, photographs or reference material. The clearer the source information, the more accurately we can define scope, schedule and price.

Common inputs include PDF, DWG, RVT, image files, sketches, presentation files, point-cloud data and 3D model formats. File compatibility is checked at the start because the usefulness of a source file depends on its actual content, organization and version.

Use the project brief or contact page and send the core information you already have. We review the request, identify the required disciplines, clarify missing information and then confirm scope, timeline, deliverables and commercial terms before production begins.
