Kestrel Labs

[ Case Studies ]

Teams using Kestrel during active design.

These are the kinds of architecture and design teams running Kestrel right now — what they run it on and where it fits in their process. Detailed written studies are in progress; here's a look at the work in the meantime.

Featured Engagement

[ 01 ]

Visualization + BIM studio · International

A visualization and BIM studio adds compliance checks to its delivery.

A large international visualization and BIM studio rolled Kestrel out across its team with single sign-on, set it up per jurisdiction, and is folding model-based code checks into the work it delivers to its own clients — running them as the design develops rather than waiting for plan check.

In the field now

A cross-section of the design teams running Kestrel today — what they run it on and where it fits in their process. Written studies are in progress.

Multidisciplinary design firm

[02]

United States

A design firm folds code checks into its weekly cadence

A multidisciplinary design firm runs Kestrel on active projects, checking the model against local code as the design develops — part of a standing weekly review rather than a step saved for plan check.

Architecture office

[03]

Denver, CO

An office runs checks across civic and housing work

A Denver architecture office uses Kestrel across a mix of civic, affordable-housing, and parking projects, running compliance checks during design to see issues earlier in the process.

BIM management

[04]

Multiple jurisdictions

A BIM manager tests Kestrel across jurisdictions

A BIM manager evaluates Kestrel on models spanning several U.S. jurisdictions, comparing how checks hold up against different local code sets before submission.

We're writing up detailed studies with several of these teams. Want to see Kestrel on your own projects first?
