Architectural drawings and the importance of 2D drafting software for their development

Architectural drawings are those 2D technical drawings which are developed by highly proficient drafters with the support of architects and the specifications provided by them. All kinds of architectural drawings which are produced by CAD drafters when they execute architectural drafting services are highly technical in nature and they can only be interpreted by design and construction professionals. The lead architect of the building who develops the overall architectural design must approve the drawings which are developed by drafters before they are actually used by AEC professionals in construction.

Architectural drawings which are generated in AutoCAD are mainly utilized by architects, contractors and building owners etc for multiple reasons during the entire lifecycle of construction projects. With the assistance of architectural drawings design ideas can be effectively converted into reasonable as well as logical proposal and design ideas and concepts can also be communicated through architectural drawings. When it comes to convincing clients about the proposed design of the building, architectural drawings can be successfully utilized by Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals. These highly technical drawings can also be safely preserved by AEC professionals as a proof of project executed by them.

Architectural drawings include drawings such as CAD Floor plan, Site plan, Elevation, Cross section, Isometric and axonometric projections, and detail drawings etc. Floor plans, which contain detailed architectural information about a building floor such as the systematic arrangement of different types of spaces, placement of doors, stairs, and windows etc can be effectively designed in AutoCAD by design and construction professionals.

Similarly high quality 2D site plans can also be developed through CAD solutions which are integrated with highly productive drafting tools. Site plans are extremely important architectural drawings which contain detailed information about the construction location such as the layout of the area which is finalized for construction, its boundary lines and important roads connecting to the site etc.

On the other hand elevations are also extremely important architectural drawings which are utilized by Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals for showcasing the outer appearance of a building from a particular side.

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...

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 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...
