Using Design Technology to Impact Workspace SpecSuites
Northern Virgina has grown substantially in the last fifteen years. While Government entities expand, defense contractors never go out-of-style, and the private-sector moves closer to those in the federal power-seats, more and more "Tech Suites" and "Spec Suites" are being built. This particular project was an initial (and successful) test-run for a local design firm.
The Challenge
This is a design firm that open calls themselves "dinosaurs". This was the first time they have ever used AI in their workflow. Still, they were pressed to complete full drawings sets in two weeks. One project after the next, back-to-back, as the community grows and spec suites rapidly are initiated.
The Solution
Thizo's BIM AI streamlined their modeling and drawings. In fact, we condensed their "CD" phase from eight work days to two work days. Saving 75% of their Construction Documentation time, allowed them to have a "final review" on the project; adding two clarifying construction details, and customize Reception Desk.
The Results
- Added $9,375 to their project profit
- Reduced modeling and drawing time by 75%
- Added an extra layer of Quality Control before BID and Permit
- Customized Reception desk millwork
"Thizo allowed us to not only hit our deadline, but achieve better results in the process." - Gordon Kay, Senior Designer

AI Impacting Top 200 Lawfirm
Lawfirms are prime real estate to flex your design muscles. They tend to have the budget, the want and the need for critically, thoughtfully, designed spaces.
The Challenge
This is a design firm were beleivers in AI. They wanted to test their operational budget. "Can we streamline the details?" Given a high-end client with the budget to match, they wanted to see what ROI they could extract by using Thizo.
The Solution
Thizo's BIM AI streamlined their modeling and drawings. They were given a complete project "day 1" of Construction Documentation. At first, the design team said "this is trippy". Their newest client's space looked awfuly familiar to their old work. The AutoDesk details were astounding. But they leaned into customizing. After taking a day to redline and refine minute details. They dove into updating furniture, finishes, and equiptment. They they leaned into custom ceilings and signage; going beyond what they had contractually promised. But "delighting" the client before permit and BID.
The Results
- Added $18,375 to their project profit
- Reduced modeling and drawing time by 65%
- Added an extra layer of Quality Control before BID and Permit.
- Were able to "surprise and delight" clients with EXTRA design solutions.
- Slept well the whole project!
"I've never seen a project done on-time AND a design team this cheerful." - Steve Woodard, (Third-Party) Project Manager
