Périmètre
- Regrade a flood-prone yard while remodeling the pool deck and circulation paths.
- Visualize drainage flow, swales, and catch-basin locations in context.
- Add low-voltage safety lighting for key walk paths and step transitions.
Contraintes
- Local stormwater requirements constrained wall and deck elevations.
- Existing pool shell had to remain in place.
- Client requested a permit-ready visual package before contractor mobilization.
Processus
- Modeled drainage flow zones and deck elevations in coordinated plan views.
- Rendered compliant wall and swale configurations that met local requirements.
- Added dusk safety-lighting views to validate stair and path visibility.
Résultat
- Owner approved drainage-first scope before permit submission.
- Permit review passed with no drainage-related revision request.
- Construction sequencing stayed aligned with the visual scope plan.
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.
