What we do

Production support that plugs into your existing standards.

Remote drafting, presentation, modeling, and visualization support for landscape, exterior, site, and outdoor amenity projects.

01Site plans, planting plans, and hardscape draftingNest picks up the production lane while your team keeps control of design direction and client decisions.
02Outdoor amenity and exterior visualization supportWe organize the output around your tools, standards, templates, and review process.
03CAD cleanup from sketches, surveys, and markupsWork is packaged for practical use: review PDFs, editable files, notes, and clear assumptions.
04Presentation material for residential, commercial, and hospitality projectsUse support for one deadline, a repeat workflow, or a larger production push when your team is overloaded.

What to send

A clean brief helps us start fast.

Send the files you already have. We will flag missing inputs before production begins so scope, deadline, and expectations stay clear.

Before kickoff

Questions that usually come up before outsourcing landscape design support.

Before production begins, we agree the practical details that protect your standards, schedule, files, and review process.

Will you follow our standards?Yes. Templates, title blocks, sample sheets, naming rules, and preferred output formats are reviewed before kickoff.
How do we avoid rework?The scope, assumptions, review points, and open questions stay visible so feedback is easier to act on.
Can we protect confidential files?NDA requests and controlled file-sharing channels can be agreed before sensitive files are exchanged.
Can we test the workflow first?Yes. Start with one controlled task, review the process, then decide whether to scale support.

FAQ

Common questions before sending files.

Can Nest match our standards?Yes. Send sample sheets, templates, linework standards, naming rules, and example deliverables.
Can we start small?Yes. Nest is designed for per-project support: one redline set, one model, one visualization package, or one deadline.
Who reviews the work?Production is managed and checked by architects before delivery.
Can you work in our Revit or CAD template?Yes. Share the correct software version, templates, title blocks, families, layers, and export requirements before kickoff.
Do you sign NDAs?Yes. NDA requirements can be handled before confidential drawings, models, or client information are shared.
How do revisions work?Revisions are tied to the agreed scope, marked comments, QA notes, and review dates so project managers keep control.
How fast can we start?For a clear brief and available capacity, Nest can usually begin with a scoped trial task quickly after file review.
Do you replace licensed local architects?No. Nest provides production support under your studio direction and does not replace local code responsibility or licensed architect-of-record services.

Best fit

Use Nest when you need capacity quickly, but still care about drawing logic.

We are useful for overflow production, redline pickup, package development, model cleanup, and deadline-driven documentation where a responsive partner matters as much as software ability.

A low-risk first step

Start with one controlled package, then scale only if the fit is right.
