The nearshore speed advantage

Your deadline is yesterday. We work your hours.

US firms are short on Revit staff. A US drafter costs about $52 per productive hour once benefits are counted (BLS data). We are a BIM production team in Brazil, on your clock, built to deliver in a week.

1–2 hfrom New York

Same workday as you

We are 1 to 2 hours ahead of Eastern Time. Questions get answered while your team is still at their desks, not the next morning.

7days, Express

A delivery date you can plan on

We add modelers to Express projects and split the work by level and discipline. The date in your quote is the date you get the files.

ft-innative

US standards from day one

Feet and fractional inches, your Revit template, AIA layers and US National CAD Standard sheets. No metric conversion, no clean-up on your side.

Direct from the team that builds the model

No agency. No middleman. No markup.

Agencies and freelance marketplaces resell modelers like us and add their margin on top. With MDG you hire the people who actually open Revit, so you pay the production price.

How we count hours

Minimum 15 hours per project. The source file sets the effort, and the quote shows it.

  • 1.0×Clean DWG
  • 1.25×PDF, vector or scanned
  • 1.5×Images, old scans, hand sketches

Example: a 20-hour job from DWG is 20 hours, $380 Standard. From scanned images it is 30 hours, $570.

Built by us

Our projects, from the drawing on the table to the model on screen.

These are our own buildings. Each picture is a visualization made from a Revit model our team built. The orange tag marks a raw screenshot straight from the file.

  • EconomicalFrom $19 an hour, about a third of in-house cost.
  • ReliableFixed hours approved before we start. QA checklist on every model.

Residential tower · Paraná

Slender tower on soft, water-logged soil

Tall, narrow building on poor soil with a high water table. The foundation could not be a standard one, so the model had to be exact: every column, footing and pile cap placed where the drawings said, floor by floor.

That is the work we do for you. When the design is unusual, we model it faithfully and flag what does not match before it reaches site.

  • Concrete frame
  • Special foundation
  • Floor-by-floor sheets

Treatment plant · São Paulo

Wastewater plant on a dense pile field

Concrete tanks, channels and walls over a dense pile field, modeled from the pile location plan. The real sheet is under the model: you can read its title on the table.

Inset: the actual screenshot from our Revit file, same building, same angle.

Long-span structure · Brazil

Arched steel roof over a concrete frame

Arched steel trusses on a reinforced concrete frame with stands. Long spans and repeating elements are where a clean parametric model saves weeks of drafting.

  • Concrete frame
  • Parametric families

Clear rules, written before we start.

For you

  • Free sample before any payment.
  • Fixed quote. You never pay more than the number you approved.
  • Pay after approval of the first milestone on your first project.
  • NDA before you send files. We never reuse your drawings.
  • Rework is on us for 30 days. If anything in your model doesn't match the scope in your approved quote, we fix it free. Your quote lists every sheet, level and LOD, so you know exactly what's covered.

How delivery works

  • Samples and reviews are shared as a 3D viewer link and PDF sheets.
  • Native files (RVT, IFC, DWG) are released after each paid milestone.
  • Larger projects are split into weekly milestones, each with its own approval.
  • Everything in writing, in one email thread.
FAQ

Before you send drawings.

Why is your rate so low?

We are a BIM production office in Brazil. Our costs are lower than in the US, and we pass that on. Every model goes through our QA checklist before it reaches you.

How can you deliver in 7 days?

We put more modelers on Express projects and split the work by level and discipline. For one building with clear drawings at LOD 300–350, 7 days is our standard.

Do we need meetings or calls?

No. Scope, questions, markups and approvals all happen by email or in your ACC. You get a written record of every decision.

What does the 30-day guarantee cover?

Everything listed in your approved quote: the drawings you sent, the LOD and the deliverables. New information or design changes after approval get a separate fixed-hour quote, usually within 2 business hours.

What exactly is the free sample?

One typical floor of your project, at the LOD you need, in 72 hours, shared as a 3D viewer link and PDF sheets. Free samples go to company emails.

How do I pay?

You get a secure payment link with the quote. Card, Wise or wire, in USD. Larger projects are paid by milestone.

Do you do structural design or stamp drawings?

No. We don't do structural analysis, sizing or PE/SE stamps. Your Architect or Engineer of Record designs and seals. We model and document what they decide.

Can you work from scanned PDFs, photos or sketches?

Yes. Old plans, scans and hand sketches become Revit models. They take longer than a clean DWG, so the quote uses 1.25× hours for PDF and 1.5× for images.

Do you work in feet and inches?

Yes. US projects are modeled in feet and fractional inches with your templates and AIA/NCS sheet standards.

Which software do you deliver in?

Revit (back to 2021), Navisworks, IFC, DWG and PDF. We can work inside your ACC or BIM 360.
