GFC for Residential Developments

Design development to GFC documentation for Single-family residences for a gated community in Florida 

Hired by architects, Next Synergy Solutions’ initial task was to generate drawing sets for authority approval, constituting the first stage of the submission process. The subsequent stage involved developing GFC (Good for Construction) drawings. The client provided draft CAD files encompassing floor plans, sections, and elevations.  

Based on the available information, we initiated the model population and composition of a preliminary cartoon set. Next Synergy Solutions, then submitted this initial cartoon set to the client for their preliminary review and feedback.  

Upon receiving comments and additional details from the client, the model and drawings were meticulously amended to incorporate the necessary changes. The revised iteration underwent internal checks before being submitted to the client for final approval or further feedback.  

Given that the client was working in a 3D environment for the first time, we faced specific challenges during the execution phase. These challenges included establishing standards according to the client’s requirements, incorporating their brand typography and colour standards, and organizing and refining CAD files exported from Revit. Additionally, we focused on meticulous layering of all entities as per the client’s specifications, ensuring a seamless integration of their preferences into the final deliverables.
