Keystone Model

Your private, embedded delivery team

SCROLL

Our Keystone Model places a stable unit of architects and BIM specialists directly inside your workflow—working with your templates, schedules, and communication channels as if they were seated in your office. Keystone is designed for firms that need ongoing, high-quality production without the cost and churn of constant recruiting.

What Is Keystone?

Keystone is a dedicated "cell"—typically two to six professionals (Project Manager, BIM Lead, Drafting Architects, and QA support) assigned exclusively to a single client.

One client only. Team members do not jump between accounts.

Same standards. We adopt your naming conventions, layer structure, and sheet layout.

Same tools. Work happens in your Revit files, BIM 360, or preferred cloud platform.

Formal protections. Every engagement is covered by a signed NDA and service contract.


Why Firms Choose Keystone?

Advantage Practical Impact
Continuity The same people stay on your projects—knowledge doesn't reset every phase.
Confidentiality All files and communications stay inside your environment under NDA.
Timezone Match Costa Rica's EST/CST overlap means questions are answered in real time.
Predictable Capacity You know how many hours and deliverables are available each week.
Strategic Input The team improves workflows over time instead of only completing tasks.

How Keystone Works?

Discovery & Scope

We discuss project types, software stack, drawing standards, and capacity goals.

Onboarding Sprint (≈ 2 weeks)

The cell studies your title blocks, detail libraries, and file protocols; small pilot tasks validate fit.

Run Phase (90 days to start)

Regular cadence of drawing production, redline updates, BIM family creation, or other agreed tasks. Progress is shared in a weekly summary with hours used, sheets completed, and next priorities.

Review & Adjust

Every quarter we meet to assess velocity, quality, and capacity—then scale up or fine-tune as needed.

If workload slows, we can downshift hours while keeping key staff reserved for you.


Typical Use Cases

Corporate Interiors – Ongoing test-fit iterations and drawing packages for headquarters expansions.

Retail Roll-Outs – Standardized BIM families and permit sets for multi-site programs.

Education & Labs – Long-term documentation support that aligns with evolving technical standards.


Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can we start?

About 30 days after contract and NDA are signed—enough time to assemble and train your cell.

Can we begin small and grow later?

Yes. Many clients start with a two-person cell and add roles as workload increases.

Who manages the team?

You interact with a single Project Manager who coordinates daily tasks and acts as your point of contact.

Where are files stored?

Inside your chosen cloud or server environment; we work directly in your ecosystem.

What happens if a team member leaves?

We provide a trained replacement in agreement with you and overlap for knowledge transfer.
