The problem we solve

Your licensed time is worth more than permit set production.

You didn't start an architectural firm to spend evenings on documentation. But the drawing load doesn't slow down. It grows. Hiring is expensive, slow, and permanent. Freelancers are inconsistent. Meridian Studio is the third option: a dedicated offshore production team that works while you sleep.

Questions, answered

What firms ask before the first brief.

How fast can you deliver?

Brief us at the end of your working day and you receive production-ready output the next morning where the scope allows. Larger projects ship on agreed timelines that we confirm before starting.

What software do you work in?

Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp for drafting and modelling, and Lumion, V-Ray, Enscape, and Twinmotion for rendering. We adopt your file naming, layer structure, and title blocks so the output drops straight into your project.

How much does it cost?

We quote per brief, based on the service and the scope, and confirm it before any work starts. What makes it work financially is that the production happens in South Africa, so you are paying South African rates rather than the rates of a studio in your own market. That is a structural exchange rate advantage, not a promotional discount.

Is the free sample really free?

Yes. Before your first project we send you a free sample of previously completed work that we are cleared to share, a render, a documentation page, or a model, so you can judge the quality before committing. No contract, no cost.

How do we send you files?

Whatever you already use: Dropbox, Google Drive, BIM 360, or WeTransfer. We confirm receipt within two hours.

Is my work kept confidential?

Always. NDAs are standard, and your clients, projects, and intellectual property stay protected. Our Privacy Policy and PAIA Manual are published on this site.

How does the time zone actually help?

We work in South African time (UTC+2). For firms in North and South America that means we produce overnight, so you brief at the end of your day and the work is moving while you sleep. For firms in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East it means a full working day of overlap, so questions get answered inside your own business hours.

Do you work to our local building codes?

We produce to the code requirements you brief us on, and we coordinate with your structural and MEP consultants. On US projects that means CD sets that account for IBC, ADA, and local zoning. Final code compliance sign-off stays with you as the firm of record.
