Mockups & Consulting

Making inspired ideas viable,
since 2014.

In the contemporary practice of architecture and construction, proven viability beats aspiration every single time. Even the most essential, future-facing ideas regularly fail to achieve traction, be it from a lack of informed consideration, an inadequately conceived development process, or a simple inability to convey the vision of it to other stakeholders. Just as often, even if the idea survives the design process, it ends up irretrievably altered by the defaults of conventional building practice.

Superfab’s mockup and consulting services exist to help the highest ideas get better through the process, not buried.

THE FUTURE IS BUILT ON IDEAS THAT LAST

We bring thinking to full scale.

The most common obstacle to new ideas is simply getting others to visualize them. AEC professionals often have difficulty imagining how their familiar means and imperatives might integrate into an unfamiliar framework; clients often can’t picture the end product. When there’s doubt or confusion, a full-scale mockup is a way to bring everyone into the light of your idea. Whether for early concept testing, informed design development, or establishing final basis-of-design, we build full scale real world mockups to keep the key contributors aligned and good thinking moving forward.

Providing insight as those who know.

We are design thinkers, experienced shop-based builders, and nimble manufacturers. This makes us well poised to provide genuine project-specific insight on matters of constructability, design for production, viable strategies of modularity, fundamental cost drivers, and ROM budgets. Whatever the need, our consultations are designed to help architects, general contractors, and big project visionaries bring into being the very best of ideas-to-come.
