SMA Archviz offers advanced Revit drafting services that convert your design intent into model-based drawing sets. We specialize exclusively in high-precision architectural Revit drafting and 3D Modeling for architects, designers, and home builders.
Drawing sets built by hand in 2D tend to fall out of sync the moment a design changes. A model-based workflow fixes this. Every plan and schedule pulls from a single Revit model. Change something once, and it updates everywhere. That matters, because mistakes here cost real money. NIST put the damage from poor software interoperability at about $15.8 billion for the U.S. capital facilities industry in 2002 alone.
The SMA Archviz team follows your templates, so what you get back looks like your own office made it. We cover every architectural phase, and each set arrives coordinated and complete.
Every project includes:
No two projects need the same drawings. Maybe you only need one service, or a complete architectural drawing set. We offer complete architectural construction drawing sets, from schematic layouts to permit-ready architectural detailing. We’ll match the work to your project stage and your team’s needs.
We produce dimensioned floor plans and reflected ceiling plans straight from your model, annotated to your standards. Elevations, sections, and wall details follow the same way. Our architectural drafting team supports schematic design, design development, and final submission sets. You can send us a model, a CAD file, or even a hand sketch, and we’ll work from it.
Early in a project, you need layouts you can react to. We prepare initial floor plans, massing, exterior elevations, and space layout options, along with design presentation sheets, so you can compare directions before committing to full documentation.
Got old DWG files, scanned PDFs, or hand sketches? Our CAD to Revit conversion turns them into working architectural Revit models at LOD 200–300. Your dimensions and layers stay the same. The walls, doors, and rooms also carry real data. You get seamless CAD-to-Revit conversion and accurate 3D architectural modeling built strictly to your architectural specifications. In short, the model is useful from day one.
Our artists prepare plans on the basis of existing conditions from your field notes or laser scan data. Demolition plan sheets come next. Our as-built drawings give renovation teams a reliable starting point.
From a small home to a full campus, we match our detailed plans to the size of your job.
Get plans for a custom home, townhomes, or an apartment. Our Revit experts prepare plans and finish schedules. This will help you get through permit review and give contractors enough to price the job. Renovations are welcome too.
Tenant work runs on tight dates. A restaurant, a medical suite, or a retail space can’t wait weeks for drawings, so we turn them around fast and keep them accurate. That keeps your construction schedule on track.
A hotel project may have the same type of rooms. Mixed-use projects bring big schedules and multiple sheets that must agree with each other. We tackle all project types and keep everything coordinated.
Public buildings come with strict documentation and accessibility rules. We work to those requirements, whether it’s a school, a clinic, or a community center.
For warehouses, light manufacturing, and logistics buildings, we put the architectural floor plans, elevations, sections, and door and window schedules into one coordinated set, so your team isn’t piecing it together from separate files.
Anyone can draw lines. A good studio gives you drawings that are right the first time. Big government bodies like the GSA and the Army Corps of Engineers already demand this high quality. Our team aims for the same on every set.
We check every sheet against your title block, view templates, and sheet naming rules. Where your project follows the National CAD Standard, our linework and annotation follow it too.
You receive a complete package that is ready to hand to a contractor.
We use your template, so there’s nothing to reformat later. No template? We’ll build one to match the documents you already have.
You get a named point of contact, a milestone schedule before work begins, and updates at each stage, so you are never left guessing where your drawings stand.
SMA Archviz is an architectural visualization studio that uses the same model to create high-quality 3D renderings with our visualization software for marketing and approvals.
We sign NDAs on request and limit access to project files to the team assigned to your job.
Our models are organized so clients can easily review them. This keeps your architectural model clean, easy to navigate, and ready for your own team to build on.
A clear process keeps your project on schedule. This is how every job moves from your files to the final set.
Before we start, we go through what you send us, whether that’s a Revit model, CAD files, PDFs, sketches, or markups. We also read your standards documents. Then we confirm project details and file formats with you.
Next, we set up your template or build one that matches your office standards. Then we prepare the sheet list and naming system. We set up the view settings too, so every drawing starts off right.
We add missing walls and floors, or fix the ones that are wrong. Rooms and openings get the same check. We clean up the annotations too, so every view reads accurately. At this stage we also agree with you on the required Level of Development (LOD).
We place the views on sheets and add dimensions and tags. Keynotes and notes go in next. Schedules come straight from the model data, so the quantities always stay accurate.
A second team member checks every sheet for accuracy. Our team members send you a sample sheet for early feedback.
We apply your comments and stay available for follow-up changes.
Our 3D architectural modeling team builds the geometry. Drafters turn it into sheets, using established BIM tools. This helps in opening your files cleanly in your own environment.

Our team prepares each sheet type to match its purpose.
We draw a dimensioned plan for each level. Room names and window tags are on every one. This way reviewers and builders can read them easily.
These show the ceiling heights, finishes, soffits, and light locations. That way, trades know exactly what’s going on up there and can plan their work.
Exterior and interior elevations come with material notes. The sections show heights of the building layers.
These schedules pull from the live model. Change the design, and the counts and tags change with it.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and stairs need a closer look. We draw them at a larger scale and mark the fixtures and millwork.
We draw roof plans and detailed wall sections that show the building envelope, facade detailing, and how each layer goes together.
Some projects need a clear line between old and new. Our sheets show what stays and what goes. They also show what gets built at each stage.
These cover the building footprint and setbacks. Parking and lot coverage are shown too, which helps with zoning and permit review.
These are the sheets people ask for most. Need a drawing that’s not listed? Tell us what it is and we’ll let you know how we’d handle it.

Revit file with a complete sheet. Every sheet is formatted to your standards. It will be ready to review or send.
In AutoCAD, every sheet is drawn on its own. If the design changes, you have to fix it by hand. In Revit, plans, sections, elevations, and schedules all come from one model. Change it once and every sheet updates.
Yes. We use your Revit template and sheet conventions when you have them. Plus, we build a matching template when you do not.
We need a set of sketches, PDFs, CAD files, or an existing Revit model is enough to begin.
Turnaround depends on the service. Individual sheets typically take 2–4 business days, CAD or PDF conversion 3–5, conceptual packages 5–8, and as-built drawings 4–7. Larger projects take longer.
Share floor plans, CAD files, SketchUp models, or even a quick sketch. We'll return a fixed quote and a clear delivery schedule, with no obligation.
