Capabilities
Arqwell provides tailored CAD & automation services for architects and design teams. We deliver Rhino Python scripts, Dynamo routines, Revit family workflows, and model preparation services that reduce repetitive work and accelerate design development.
CAD Services — Narrative
We collaborate with clients to understand design intent and produce reliable automation: parametric layout tools, massing test-fits, scheduling-ready families, and model-cleanup scripts. Each engagement starts with a short scoping conversation to identify deliverables, file formats, and integration points with your current BIM workflows.
General Cost
Typical engagements vary by scope. As a high-level guideline:
- Quick script / small task: $150–$500 — single script, small automation or dataset cleanup (1–3 days).
- Feature / tool: $500–$2,500 — multi-step tool, Revit family set, or Rhino workflow (1–3 weeks).
- Project integration / custom library: $2,500+ — larger integrations, scheduled deliveries, and documentation.
Final cost depends on scope, testing requirements, and whether you need Revit/Rhino packaged families or additional QA. We provide a short proposal after our scoping call with a clearer timeline and deliverables.
CAD Vectorization
Based on the submitted RFQ form (Arqwell RFQ Form — Submission.pdf), we offer CAD vectorization services to convert scanned drawings, PDFs, or raster images into clean CAD geometry. Our standard rate is $300 per sheet. The process includes vector tracing, layer cleanup, attribute normalization, and a short QA pass to ensure dimensions align with the source.
- What we need: a clear scan or PDF of the sheet, notes on scale or a reference dimension, and any target file format (DWG, DXF, or Rhino).
- Deliverables: vectorized CAD file, layers organized, and a short summary of edits.
- Timing: typically 1–3 business days per sheet depending on complexity and queue.
QA / QC Process
Arqwell follows a structured QA/QC workflow to ensure deliverables meet your standards. Our standard process includes:
- Initial review: assess submitted files for scale, legibility, and missing references.
- Vectorization & cleanup: convert raster/PDF to vector, standardize layers and naming conventions.
- Dimensional QA: check key dimensions against reference notes or a provided scale.
- Consistency pass: ensure families/types, parameter names, and layer conventions follow the agreed standard.
- Client review: deliver a review file and short QA report; incorporate one round of client feedback.
If you have a detailed QA/QC checklist, upload it with your submission or email it to imani@isa-arqwell.com. We include one round of feedback revisions in the standard price; additional QA rounds can be quoted separately.
Service examples
- Parametric layouts: automated room-by-room furniture placement and schedules.
- Scripted families: Revit families generated from Rhino geometry with consistent parameters.
- Model cleanup: remove duplicates, standardize naming, prepare models for downstream use.
- Custom tools: tile generators, façade panelizers, daylight-driven patterns.
