Project Overview

RUKUS 3.0 is a landmark 8-story, 215-unit residential development located in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. With a total built-up area of 426,746 square feet, the project includes three levels of underground parking and a host of modern amenities designed to support urban living.

The building’s structure comprises a 5-story wood-framed superstructure over a 3-story reinforced concrete podium, integrating aesthetic design with structural efficiency.

Casad's delivery of precise structural models and drawings enabled early detection of clashes, accelerated design approval, and supported smooth construction execution. The result: a reliable digital backbone for this high-density residential project that sets a new benchmark in hybrid structural design.

Casad's Scope of Work

Casad Infra Solutions was entrusted to deliver:

• 3D BIM modeling in Revit for all structural systems, including sub-grade and superstructure

• Detailed 2D CAD drawings for construction documentation and team coordination

• Clash detection and interface resolution between wood and concrete structural systems

• BIM deliverables optimized for coordination with architectural and MEP models

Our Capabilities in Action

This project leveraged Casad’s key strengths:

• Multimaterial Expertise: Seamless modeling of wood-over-concrete structures with structural integrity and architectural alignment

• LOD 350 Detailing: Ready-to-use, data-rich models for structural analysis and collaboration

• Drawing Precision: High-quality, construction-ready documentation that met aggressive timelines

• Integrated Workflows: Efficient BIM coordination across all disciplines, reducing design conflicts and rework
