Architecture Design Support Services
Archmetrix gives architecture firms and developers flexible design support that extends your studio's capacity during busy periods and early project phases. We assist with schematic design, space planning, and concept massing — translating your brief, program, and site constraints into clear options your team can refine and present. Working white-label as an extension of your practice, we help you explore more design directions, respond to RFPs faster, and keep projects advancing without stretching in-house staff. You keep design authorship and client relationships; we provide the production horsepower behind the scenes. Engage us for a single phase or as ongoing overflow support across multiple projects.

Frequently asked questions
No — we extend it. We work white-label as overflow and early-phase support so your architects can take on more projects and explore more options. You retain design authorship, stamping authority, and the client relationship.
We focus on early phases: schematic design, space planning, and concept massing. This is where extra capacity has the biggest impact on winning work and setting projects up well before detailed documentation begins.
We work in the tools your studio uses so files drop straight into your workflow — commonly Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and standard presentation formats. Confirm your preferred platform at kickoff and we'll match it.
You set the brief and design intent, review each round, and make the final calls. We produce options and iterations to your direction, so the design remains yours throughout.
Yes. Many firms use us as ongoing overflow capacity across several projects, scaling support up during peak workloads and back down when things ease — without adding permanent headcount.
