| CAD: The Genesis of Modern Architecture | | | | together as a single and well-integrated team |
| As time goes on, trends are changing rapidly and | | | | throughout all project phases. |
| thus you need to update yourself accordingly. | | | | CAD Outsourcing Services |
| Architecture industry has continued changing its | | | | Increasing demand for home buildings and the |
| shape, as modern technology advances. There | | | | skyscraper race in modern times around the |
| was a time when plans for buildings, public spaces, | | | | world has created a great demand for CAD |
| and new products were drawn up by hand. The | | | | technology as well as CAD service providers. The |
| advent of AutoCAD pioneered the evolution of | | | | huge demand for modern architecture and bright |
| using CAD programs on PC to execute most of | | | | prospects of outsourcing has brought large |
| the arduous and labor-intensive drawing and | | | | numbers of Architectural CAD outsourcing firms |
| documentation tasks. Facilitated originally with few | | | | and CAD companies into existence. High quality, |
| capabilities like drawing up simple lines, circles, and | | | | time bound and cost effective services have |
| text overlays, CAD technology, today, include | | | | convinced architectural firms and building |
| three-dimensional modeling and | | | | developers outsource their design and drafting |
| computer-simulated operation of the model. It has | | | | tasks to overseas CAD outsourcing studio and |
| become a must have tool in the Architecture and | | | | focus more on their core competencies – |
| Construction industry, enabling architectural | | | | critical design development and marketing of the |
| designers and builders develop skyscraper and | | | | project. Availability of cheap labor and skilled |
| fascinating buildings. The Guggenheim Museum | | | | resources has made India a hot destination for |
| Bilbao is an example of the wonder of CAD | | | | architectural CAD outsourcing. CAD outsourcing |
| technology in modern times. | | | | services offer the following advantages: |
| CAD technology provides industry-proven, | | | | Tangible Benefits: |
| dynamic and comprehensive solutions to | | | | Cost Advantage: |
| designers, drafters and civil engineers for the | | | | - No Overheads Expenditure: No need to set up |
| design, drafting and management of a wide range | | | | extra infrastructure, purchase expensive |
| of architectural projects. CAD service has its own | | | | hardware and software, technology, instruments, |
| advantages over the traditional methods: | | | | etc. |
| Concept Development: CAD technology enables | | | | - No Hidden Cost: No need to train and retrain the |
| you to explore conceptual proposals and complete | | | | existing workforce. |
| final designs much faster. For example, designers | | | | Quality Advantage: |
| can prepare various layouts and alignments for a | | | | - Access to expertise of Trained Professionals |
| proposed building. And they can keep on | | | | - Improved Quality |
| assembling and disassembling until the best design | | | | Intangible Benefits |
| proposal is prepared. | | | | - Increased Collaboration and Coordination |
| Multiple Design Options: CAD software allows you | | | | - Customer Satisfaction |
| to evaluate multiple design alternatives for a single | | | | - Customer Loyalty |
| project in less time. It helps you to serve your | | | | Time Advantage |
| clients with a higher level of service and | | | | - Improved Delivery Time |
| distinguishing your services from the competitors. | | | | - 24x7x365 Workshare Environment |
| Reduce Time and Cost: As AutoCAD maintains a | | | | Business Expansion |
| link between design and production drafting, any | | | | - Get rid of Labor-intensive Tasks |
| change to one part of the design automatically | | | | - Free up Internal Resources |
| becomes updated throughout the entire project, | | | | - More Focus on Design Development and |
| reducing drafting errors as well as time. For | | | | Business Development |
| example, if you change the curve length on your | | | | - Handling More Projects with Existing Workforce |
| alignment, you can immediately retrieve updated | | | | Conclusion |
| profile, corridor model, and plotted cross sections. | | | | Gone are those days when architectural drawing |
| Design Conformity: With AutoCAD, Plan and | | | | and incorporating changes into it were executed |
| profile remain in sync. CAD technology provides | | | | manually. The advent of CAD has changed the |
| an environment where drafting is derived directly | | | | shape of modern architecture industry, catering to |
| from the design model, thus ensuring objects and | | | | every need of architects, designers, drafters, civil |
| annotation in the drawing conform to production | | | | engineers, builders and owners. One CAD operator |
| standards which typically involves numbers of | | | | could readily replace at least three to five |
| arduous steps. | | | | drafters using traditional methods. Technology |
| Increased Coordination: With CAD, the | | | | advances. Building Information Modeling (BIM), far |
| communication is at its best. AutoCAD enables to | | | | advanced software than AutoCAD, is sweeping |
| share design data efficiently and accurately with all | | | | the Modern Architecture industry. Come out of |
| involved with the project. All team members can | | | | those traditional manually drawing and drafting |
| remain up-to-date and everyone can work | | | | methods and accept the reality!?! |
