Scope overview
This remodel focused on flood mitigation first, then aesthetics. The team needed to show how grading, pool deck updates, and lighting would work together without compromising permit requirements.
Highlights
- Drainage-first visuals that clarified why grade changes were necessary.
- Pool and hardscape upgrades tied to compliant elevation choices.
- Dusk safety-lighting render to validate circulation after sunset.
Execution notes
We combined topo notes, pool measurements, and drainage constraints into a single model, then produced permit-focused and client-facing views. That reduced review risk and helped the contractor keep schedule commitments.
