A 3D design tool for architects, builders and designers, from quick sketches to complex models, with extensions and cloud collaboration.
SketchUp is 3D design software that helps architects, builders and designers create and manage projects from quick sketches to complex models. Its website highlights non-destructive modeling for faster iterations, an Extension Warehouse and a 3D Warehouse, and cloud collaboration through Trimble Connect. Homeowners in Nashville often meet it when they see early 3D models of rooms or buildings during concept design.
We are an independent firm and are not affiliated with SketchUp or Trimble. We use 3D models to explore ideas quickly with you, comparing forms, rooflines and room volumes before committing to detailed drawings. When a project needs coordinated documents, we move to a more detailed modeling approach, and we share views and models so you can look around your project from any angle.
