Modular Housing Workflow System

Turn housing systems
into reusable design logic

ArchiLabs helps modular housing teams encode unit types, module constraints, MEP connections, sheets, annotations, documentation, and manufacturing handoffs as repeatable workflows.

ArchiLabs Desktop in action

Start with a task.
Finish with real work.

Book a live walkthrough

Explore the same drawing-to-model workflow with a public facility plan and an equipment specification. These examples show native Revit modeling and refinement in conversation.

Desktop + RevitRecorded workflow · edited for clarity

Drawings become a building.

Turn architectural plans into walls, rooms, doors, and roofs. Refine the details in conversation.

Public plan source
About this recording

Starting from public architectural plans, Desktop builds a native Revit model. The edit includes the initial request and the follow-up corrections used to refine the building, followed by exterior, roof-off, and office views of the corrected result. Waiting periods are shortened; accelerated segments are labeled in the video.

Workflow system

Built for repeatable work, not one-off prompts

Each workflow combines smart components, AI-assisted recipe generation, deterministic validation, sheet and annotation automation, and exports that fit the tools your team already uses.

Units
Reusable layouts
Modules
Rules and constraints
Factory
Handoff packages

Unit and module catalogs

Create parametric room, unit, and module types with configurable dimensions, finishes, openings, and connection rules.

Stacking and connection checks

Validate adjacency, corridor, riser, shaft, and MEP connection assumptions as modules are arranged.

Manufacturing handoff

Generate structured outputs for review packages, sheets, annotations, schedules, model exports, and downstream fabrication workflows.

House configurator demo

Toggle house options and regenerate the model

Use a configurator experience to change dormer count, roof pitch, siding colors, roof colors, and other options while the house regenerates.

From intent to coordinated documentation

The same pattern works across each workflow: define intent, generate the model and documentation, validate the result, and hand it off cleanly.

01

Define the kit of parts

Model repeatable units, rooms, modules, service zones, and constraints as smart components.

02

Configure a project layout

Use saved workflows to place, stack, mirror, and adjust modules while preserving rule-based constraints.

03

Review rule violations

Surface layout, connection, corridor, and documentation issues before design changes reach production teams.

04

Export the package

Produce sheets, annotations, model exports, schedules, reports, and structured handoff data for coordination or manufacturing review.

Checks teams can reuse

Workflow checks are structured and auditable. They help teams find missing information, inconsistent assumptions, and likely issues before sheets, annotations, reports, or model exports move downstream.

  • Module adjacency and stacking rules
  • Riser, shaft, and MEP connection alignment
  • Unit option and finish consistency
  • Schedule completeness for production review

End-to-end platform

An end-to-end BIM/design workspace

ArchiLabs Desktop brings AI into Revit, AutoCAD, and connected project tools. ArchiLabs Studio provides a browser workspace for design and reusable components. Together, they help teams carry drawings, models, and project context into the next stage of work.

The goal is to make repeatable design and documentation logic reusable across projects while still fitting into the BIM and CAD stack your team already has.

Let's build together

Whether you're planning a new data hall, modernizing a live facility, coordinating critical systems, or connecting design data to operations, we'd love to hear what your team wants to automate. We also continue to support MEP, production homebuilding, modular housing, fire protection, and embedded design workflows.
