Technology


Advancements in technology move at a faster and faster pace.  Graham Builders utilizes the power of up to date programs to aid homeowners in project realization.  These techniques streamline time, cost, and comprehension.

Revit is a 3D modeling program that intuitively and efficiently allows for changes in design and layout.  
  • AutoCAD
AutoCAD is the benchmark 2D drafting program and one of the pioneers in computer-aided design.
  • Environmental Simulations
Environmental simulations, such as solar, daylighting, and heat gain studies, carbon computing, and cost savings analysis help designers to create the most efficient home in its particular microclimate.
  • Renderings
Photorealistic renderings and animations allow homeowners to visualize their renovation or new home in striking detail, with material, landscaping, and solar simulations.  
  • Telecommuting
Graham Builders is able to direct some of the project processes through telecommuting with homeowners and staff, cutting down the time and cost of transportation. 
  • Security
The Graham Builders system has recently been updated.  All files are backed up daily, and archived work is stored both on and offsite, providing stability and security for past and present projects.
