Role of CAD in generating construction drawings

CAD which is an acronym for Computer aided design is the single largest technology that has modified the entire process of construction drawing generation. The construction drawings had been and will remain as the most crucial input used  in the construction of buildings. If we look back at the history, the departed time has seen only paper and pencil as the major source for the communication of the construction drawings.  So they were optimized by the architects and the engineers in the fullest possible manner to communicate the design of different building systems. 

But with the invention of computer technology things started to change slowly and gradually.

The role CAD  in drafting services:The CAD technology wherein computers are optimized by the technicians and the engineers to generate the construction drawings enormously benefited the architecture, engineering and construction industry. So in other words CAD drafting is fundamentally the process of developing technical drawings by optimizing computer technology. 

CAD drafting services: The CAD drafting services are executed for developing  architectural, structural and MEP drawings. These services are primarily executed by the engineering service providing company and are delivered to the clients as per the demand.  The CAD drafters are the technical people who handle and execute these services along with the support and guidance of engineers and the architects.

All kinds of construction drawings  such as elevations, floor plans, site plans, structural drawings and  MEP drawings are developed with the assistance of AutoCAD which is a very reliable drafting software. So the CAD drafting services are extremely crucial in the execution of architectural, structural and MEP projects. That means the computer aided drawings and design work as the foundation for all kinds of construction projects.

Benefits of CAD drawings

· The CAD drawings help extremely in increasing the productivity of the CAD technicians or the designers
  • CAD drawings have so far largely helped in improving the design quality
  • These drawings have improved the communication through documentation
  •  If in case any changes and modifications are required in the drawings by the client they can be implemented really easily


So the contributions and benefits of the CAD technology are huge and large when it comes to its implementation in the construction industry.

An Introduction of 4D BIM Techniques

Image
Overview Construction scheduling in project management is about recording project benchmarks, outputs, start and end date of a predetermined building project. 4D BIM that caters to Construction Scheduling is also known as Construction sequencing. It includes project drafting and project extraction arrangement for every project management. Construction Scheduling is vital for the construction as labor force, equipment and other related activities require effective organizing and scheduling of construction activities. It helps in knowing the time to accomplish the project and streamline the cost estimation factor for all the construction professionals. Construction scheduling techniques of projects Several techniques help the contractor to keep construction scheduling of the project. Aiding in project requirement assessment and overcome challenges of the project schedule. Bar Charts: It is considered as one of the most common technique to generate construction schedul...

BIM Execution Plan and Its Importance for Construction Companies

Image
Overview The advent of BIM Modeling into the construction industry has prevailed the implementation of BIM Execution Plan to enhance the right flow of work to execute the project successfully. It can be analysis and execution during various phases of the project. What is BIM Execution Plan? BIM Execution Plan is a complex and detailed document that helps the project team to identify and execute the role of BIM in various phases of construction in the project. BEP needs to be accurate to make the teams keep on track by focusing on details, saving on time and reduces rework. BEP is primarily used when there is a higher level of complexity and project size is huge. It lays an overall plan with details as to how the process will be executed. It is the process of creating a digital model of building or structures to aid collaboration among people involved in the project. BEP Comprises of type of information as followed: •     How to create data in BIM fil...

BIM modeling services: Which software solutions can be used for developing 3D parametric models?

Building Information Modeling technology is closely related to the development of 3D parametric models for architecture, structure and MEP, which are effectively packed with all the essential information pertaining to design and construction. Building Information Modeling services have become the cardinal requirement for architects and engineers when it comes to the flawless execution of building projects.  Building Information Modeling services are not only important for design and construction professionals but also for building owners, construction managers and fabricators etc.  BIM is the process of developing the entire building in virtual world through high-end Building Information Modeling applications like Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. All these BIM applications are used for developing the entire building in 3D. Actually the design of every building discipline is separately represented through 3D parametric models which are generat...
