Architectural Design & Documentation Services in USA

Moldtek delivers architectural services for US architecture firms, developers and design-build teams who need more production capacity without lowering the bar. Our architects work as an extension of your studio — from test fits and massing studies to coordinated construction documents, permit resubmittals and day-to-day construction administration.

We build to US building codes and accessibility standards, work inside your Revit templates, Procore project and Bluebeam sessions, and keep a dependable daily handoff with your team across the time zone difference so your drawings move forward overnight and your principals wake up to progress, not questions.

Behind every sheet sits two decades of structural steel detailing, BIM and engineering for US construction. We understand how buildings actually go together — which is why our documents answer the contractor’s questions before they become RFIs.

Built for US project types: Commercial · Multifamily · Hospitality · Mixed-Use · Retail · Healthcare · Industrial — in wood frame, steel, concrete, curtain wall and high-performance envelope systems.

25+Years of
Engineering

01
Code-ready, not just drawn
Sheets developed against IBC, IFC, IRC, IECC, ADA / ANSI A117.1, NFPA and local amendments as directed by your US team — so plan review comes back shorter.
02
Coordinated before it’s issued
Federated Navisworks models, clash reports and tracked consultant comments resolve conflicts between architecture, structure, MEP/FP and civil before the set goes out.
03
Site plans the fire marshal accepts
Fire apparatus access, turning radii, hammerheads, FDC and hydrant locations laid out to IFC and local fire amendments from the first site plan.
04
CA that doesn’t need chasing
RFIs, submittals, ASIs and bulletins handled in Procore with turnaround tracked — your US team sees real-time status without sending a single follow-up.
05
Sets that stay in order
Drawing indexes, revision clouds, deltas, conformed and record sets maintained through every issue — no more reconstructing what changed and when.
06
Work that follows the sun
A structured daily handoff and consistent overlap with US Central time turn the time zone difference into an overnight production shift.

Why project teams choose Moldtek

An architecture team with structural DNA

Six reasons US firms trust us with work that carries their name.

Senior-led delivery

Projects are run by architectural project managers with 10+ years of experience and proven US CD, permit and CA delivery — not by juniors learning on your job.

Full lifecycle, one team

Schematic design through closeout under one roof, so design intent isn’t lost in handoffs between a rendering vendor, a drafting shop and a CA consultant.

Procore-native CA

We work in Procore daily — RFIs, submittals, drawings, specifications, meeting minutes, correspondence and change events kept current as a matter of routine.

BIM-led coordination

Revit, Autodesk Construction Cloud and Navisworks clash detection are how we work, backed by Moldtek’s established BIM practice and BEP-driven standards.

Constructability built in

Two decades detailing steel for award-winning US stadiums, hospitals, schools and EV plants means our architects draw what fabricators and contractors can build.

Smarter cost structure

India-based production with US-side coordination gives you senior architectural capacity at a fraction of onshore cost — scaled up or down as your pipeline changes.

What we deliver

From concept to closeout

Engage us for a single phase or the full project. Every service works inside your standards, templates and platforms.

Need one phase — or all of them?

Bring us in for a rendering sprint, a permit set on deadline, or as the full architectural delivery team from SD to closeout. Tell us where you’re stretched and we’ll propose a team to match.

Building types we know how to document

Sectors we serve

Each building type fails at different points — unit repetition in multifamily, back-of-house in hospitality, MEP density in healthcare. Our teams are organized around the sectors, so they know where to look.

Multifamily & Residential

Garden-style, podium and mid-rise wood frame — unit plans, Fair Housing / ANSI accessible units and repetitive-unit Revit families.

Hospitality

Select-service and full-service hotels — guestroom modules, brand-standard compliance and back-of-house planning.

Mixed-Use

Retail podiums with residential or office above — separations, egress and structural transfers coordinated across uses.

Commercial & Office

Core-and-shell, tenant improvements and curtain wall envelopes.

Retail

Shopping centers, pad sites and big-box — site-heavy work with parking, loading and fire access front and center.

Healthcare

Clinics, medical office buildings and outpatient facilities with MEP-intensive coordination.

Industrial & Large Commercial

Warehouses, manufacturing and EV-era facilities — where our steel detailing heritage runs deepest.

US architecture firms, developers and design-build contractors who need experienced architectural capacity for commercial, multifamily, hospitality, mixed-use, retail, healthcare and industrial projects.

No. We work under the direction of your licensed Architect of Record, who retains responsible charge, sealing and AHJ submittals. We prepare the documents, exhibits and resubmittal packages your US team submits.

IBC, IFC, IRC, IECC, ADA / ANSI A117.1, NFPA and local amendments and zoning ordinances, applied as directed by your US team for each jurisdiction.

Yes. We review and respond to RFIs, submittals and shop drawings in Procore, issue ASIs and bulletins, review field reports and site photos, and attend OAC and site meetings virtually through Teams. On-site observation remains with your US team.

Yes. We work inside your Procore project, Autodesk Construction Cloud hub, Revit templates and Bluebeam Studio Sessions, following your drawing standards, naming conventions and QA/QC procedures.

Through a structured daily handoff, consistent overlap with US Central time for live coordination, and weekly status reporting. Work progresses while your office is closed, and questions are answered while it’s open.

Yes — building placement, parking, circulation, loading and accessible routes, plus fire apparatus access, fire lanes, turning radii and FDC and hydrant placement to IFC and local fire marshal amendments, coordinated with your civil and landscape consultants.

Yes. Exterior and interior renderings, walkthroughs and flythroughs in Enscape, Twinmotion, Lumion and V-Ray, packaged into presentation boards and decks for clients, investors and approval boards.

We act as the consultants’ day-to-day point of contact for design coordination — federating models, running clash detection, reviewing consultant sets, issuing tracked comments and maintaining coordination logs until every item is closed.

Senior project managers review all work by junior architects and BIM technicians, every set goes through QA/QC before issue, and your own standards and checklists are built into our process from day one.

Share your project type, phase and timeline. We’ll propose a team, engagement model and pilot scope — often a single sheet set or rendering package — so you can judge our work before scaling up.
