VirtuActive - 3D Drafting & Design 🏡 VirtuActive 3D Drafting + Design is a Residential Architectural Firm. In an effort to bridge this gap, VirtuActive was born.

We use 3D technology to draft, design + visualize permit-ready construction plans for industry professionals and homeowners. After spending multiple years in the home industry, our founders recognized a significant disconnect between all parties of the home build process. With builders primarily using 2D floor plans to design homes, we’ve found that an unfamiliar homeowner has difficulty visualizing that home coming to life. When the framing stage arrives, homeowners often realize changes they are wanting to make resulting in more money, stress and setbacks. Builders are also delayed and frustrated in having to detour from their streamlined processes. We’re able to simplify the build process by drafting and designing homes not just in 2D, but in utilizing 3D software. Our experienced team is able to assist all parties in the build process. We provide builders the plans they need for bidding, permitting and building and bring confidence to the homeowners by presenting their home, interior and exterior, with 3D visuals and walkthroughs - minimizing future change orders and stresses in the build. With much success in this field, our team found opportunity to branch out our drafting and design services to volume and semi-custom builders as well as the remodel, addition and basement finish fields. We’ve also created more offerings among our 3D department to assist homeowners, architects, interior designers and commercial brokers in the visualization of residential and commercial spaces. At VirtuActive, we believe that any investment into your home or commercial space is an important one. Our goal is to provide a positive and enjoyable experience for all parties involved to help clearly communciate wants and needs. We take pride in knowing we have a large part in helping make your future space a space to create endless memories with friends and family and we look forward to doing so everyday.

How is working with VirtuActive different from working with a typical architect or drafter? Dave breaks it down.

You get a whole team and not one individual. While your plan is being designed, our designers are collaborating with each other. They’re all working on a bunch of homes, and they trust and respect each other enough to give honest feedback and design input.

That doesn’t exist in a solo work environment.

Our design team just got a little bigger.

Sahara Johnson recently joined VirtuActive as a Designer. She studied Interior Design and Architecture at Texas Tech, and her favorite part of the job is the listening: figuring out how a family actually lives and turning that into a plan your crew can build.

Growth like this means more capacity on the design side, so the builders we work with can keep more projects moving at once.

It also adds another perspective to the mix. Our team came to design from a lot of different directions, and Sahara’s route ran through five years as an Indonesian linguist in the Marine Corps. That range means more ways to approach a design challenge on your next project.

Welcome, Sahara.

The team recently got out of the office for a scavenger hunt!

We split into groups and raced around town, with a list of challenges to complete. One of them was to find homes we’ve designed and builders we work with and take a photo with them.

Here are a few of the ones the groups tracked down.

Why work with VirtuActive? Matt says it comes down to the team, the turnaround and what you get at the end.

A team of six architectural designers, a 3D specialist team and drafters on staff means the capacity to fit your projects in when you’re ready, with deliverables on time.

And what you get back is clean, buildable working drawings for the job site, plus a photorealistic 3D package you can start marketing before you’ve broken ground.

Finished home first, render second. Swipe and you’ll see how closely the two line up.

The arched stone entry, the gables, the metal awnings: all there. The real stone just adds a warmth and richness of color a render can’t quite capture.

Rooflines, stone, a pool tucked into the slope. There’s already a lot of dimension here.

But there’s even more you can’t see. The garage on the left side of the rear elevation keeps going under the pool and patio, partially underground, before it ties into the rest of the lower level.

You won’t spot that one from the curb.

What makes VirtuActive different?

Brian, our co-founder and president of design, shares that when VirtuActive started, 3D was the differentiator. Almost no one was doing it. More people do now, but for VirtuActive it was never an add-on. It’s in the process from the first prelims through the final visual package.

When a builder brings a new client to VirtuActive, the goal is to keep that excitement going, so basic prelims go out fast to start the feedback. And the homeowner and the builder are both in the room, so it’s done right.

At first glance, this primary suite looks fairly normal.

Large bathroom, freestanding tub, a walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room.

Then it keeps going — a spiral staircase up to a second level, a 17-foot-high wall of windows, and 480 square feet total. About the size of a two-car garage 👀

When the finished product is this clean, it’s hard to tell the real thing from the rendering.

The roofline, the window layout, that fireplace wall inside — all of it carried straight through from what we designed to what 𝘚𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 | 𝘊𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 built.

How is VirtuActive’s collaboration process different? Faith breaks it down.

Speed is a big part of it. We get drafts out a lot sooner, and clients are in the 3D model with us throughout the whole process, not just at the end.

Elsewhere, you can still be working on the main floor plan weeks or months in.
