Workflow
One model in.
Every document out.
The 3D model is the input. Each stage reads from it and adds to it, so the documents at the end agree with the design at the start.
The MODELONCE workflow
Nine stages,
one source of data.
Input
Your 3D model
Built in SketchUp 2026: the space, ceilings, furniture and MEP objects.

Object Classification
AvailableWalls, floors, ceilings and doors are recognised by shape and name; you confirm or correct them.

Kitchen cabinet
A run of base cabinets modelled as panels.
- 013D ModelingModel the cabinet run as groups of panels.
- 02Object ClassificationAssign it to the kitchen as furniture; it receives an item code for that room.
- 03Data ManagementPanel names, sizes, thickness and materials are kept with the model.
- 04Technical DrawingsThe cabinet appears with its code on the furniture layout plan.
- 05Shop DrawingProjections, sections, panel list, per-panel details, joints and drilling.
- 06BOMPanel list with edge banding and grain for review; CSV cut list; hardware from confirmed joints.
- 07BOQCounted in the furniture category today; the full BOQ is in development.In development
- 08Cost EstimationYour unit prices applied in the estimate overview.
- 09Construction DocumentationPosition and code on the layout plans used for installation.
Gypsum ceiling system
A stepped gypsum ceiling built from 9 mm boards.
- 013D ModelingModel the ceiling boards, including stepped levels and vertical drops.
- 02Object ClassificationLevels and steps are recognised; two stacked layers count as one ceiling; you tick the trims.
- 03Data ManagementLevels, areas, steps and framing spacing per room, based on the manufacturer’s installation manual.
- 04Technical DrawingsA ceiling plan for each room and sections with level tags.
- 05Shop DrawingFraming layout sheets (main and cross channels, hangers, step framing) plus installation details.
- 06BOMFraming counts that match the plan; boards including second layers; trims in metres and bars.
- 07BOQCeiling area feeds the estimate today; the full BOQ is in development.In development
- 08Cost EstimationA client quote per m² of ceiling, with the margin kept on an internal sheet.
- 09Construction Documentation3D framing built in the model, so it can be checked before work on site.
Electrical system
Switches, sockets and lamps across an apartment.
- 013D ModelingPlace switches, sockets and lamps on walls and ceilings; type distance and height for exact positions.
- 02Object ClassificationDevices are recognised automatically; lamps are linked to their switches.
- 03Data ManagementNames, heights, rooms and circuits; circuits suggested by room, breakers and cables chosen by you.
- 04Technical DrawingsLighting, switch and socket plans, socket and switch elevations, and a single-line diagram for each panel.
- 05Shop DrawingWall-chasing elevations with the conduit route you choose for each box.
- 06BOMDevice schedules and a materials table: conduit and wire lengths, wall chases.
- 07BOQElectrical quantities feed the estimate today; the full BOQ is in development.In development
- 08Cost EstimationYour unit prices applied to the electrical quantities.
- 09Construction DocumentationElevations that show electricians where to chase and where to mount each box.
Interior zone
A master bedroom with its ceiling and furniture.
- 013D ModelingModel the room, its ceiling and its furniture.
- 02Object ClassificationOutline the room by clicking inside it, clicking its floor or drawing it by hand.
- 03Data ManagementArea, ceiling height and wall paint area; furniture counted for the room.
- 04Technical DrawingsZoning plan, furniture layout with codes, room plan with a 3D cut view, flooring plan.
- 05Shop DrawingA sheet for each furniture item; identical loose items share one sheet with a quantity.
- 06BOMPanels and hardware for built-in furniture; flooring materials.
- 07BOQRoom quantities feed the estimate today; the full BOQ is in development.In development
- 08Cost EstimationCategories priced with your unit prices.
