“The ANT Group was able to show us what our design was going to look like before we built it. We were able to make better decisions because of it. The resulting restaurant is performing like it should, our sales are up 21%.”

– John Ursini, Proprietor

Solution

To enable better understanding of the project’s scope and design, ANT employed various 3D modeling tools. 3-D construction documentation was used for equipment layout, accessibility, and agency approval. Photorealistic renderings, derived from the construction documents, were also provided and allowed the owners to compare the merits of specific proposed design solutions including finishes and lighting options.

Tools

Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, FileZilla, Rhino, Maxwell Render.
