Welcome to United Home

We use an Open Source BIM Approach along with AutoDesk Software to hold together State-of-the-Art Building Information Models for our collective properties.

We encourage anyone to fork our Repos to contribute. You can also install the ZenHub extension to access our open-source tasks for our Open Source BIM Approach.

BIM or Building Information Modeling is a highly collaborative process allowing architects, engineers, contractors, and other industry professionals to design, document, visualize, and construct buildings ideally from a single digital model.

Every home we work on will have:

• GitHub Repo
  • Architectural Folder
    • Revit CAD Master
    • Revit CAD Plumbing
    • Revit CAD Electrical
    • Revit CAD HVAC
  • Ideation Folder
    • Sketches
  • Information Folder
    • Equipment
    • Floor Map
    • Land Survey
    • Site Map
• Pinterest Board
  • Creative Ideas
  • Existing Spaces
  • Inspiration
