How do I open the DWG (AutoCAD) files?
You don't need to open them. The PDFs you receive with your purchase have the same content as the AutoCAD files. They are just two different formats. The difference is that AutoCAD files are editable, so you can send them to your local architect or engineer to make the modifications you want. If you still want to open AutoCAD DWG files, you can do so by installing DWG True View on a Windows PC. You can find it here.
How do I open the SKP (SketchUp) files?
The 3D model in SketchUp format can be opened with the SketchUp Viewer app, which is free and available for Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android here. You can also send this file to a local engineer or architect for modifications.
Do you have the Carmela house plan? What other plans do you have?
On Arqui3D's YouTube channel there are several videos that we have created for real estate companies, government institutions and other companies. The designs in those videos were created by those companies and institutions and Arqui3D only made the 3D video, so we cannot sell those plans. The only plans available are the ones you see on the "House Plans" page at Arqui3D.com.
How much does it cost to build this house plan?
Only a professional builder from the city where you plan to build can answer this question, taking into account the conditions of your lot, what construction method you want and how basic or luxurious you want the finishings to be. In Ecuador, the cost of construction is about USD 1,000 per m2.
What do the plans include? Are they construction-ready?
The plans include: Floor plans, elevations and sections. They only include the architectural design plans. It is your responsibility to hire a local professional to create the structural, electrical and plumbing plans. These must be designed by local professionals who know the local code and local construction methods of the city where you want to build, and who have carefully examined the topographical and geological conditions of your lot.
Can you make modifications to the plans?
We do not offer custom design services, but after purchasing the plans, you can send them to a local professional to make the modifications you want.
Can you design a house on my lot?
We do not offer custom design services. Find a local professional who knows the construction methods and construction code of the city where you plan to build, and who has made a careful study of the topographical and geological conditions of your lot or existing construction.
Where is your office?
