Arbuckle Costic Architects uses Revit Architectural Suite for 3-D drawing and modeling along with the traditional AutoCAD. Our office has made a commitment to developing drawing ‘models’ for our building projects that can then be transitioned into 3-D views. The development of more complex projects often requires the full use of BIM (building information modeling) to handle the coordination of all of the subsystems within the building projects. 3-D animation views can be supplied on projects to assist in the understanding of complex design problems and the corresponding solutions.

Forging relationships in the development of our projects is at the core of our design practice. Our Owner/Architect relationships assist in providing enhanced design solutions to our clients’ specific needs. We listen and thoroughly represent our clients in all aspects of the design process.
