CAD Designers Give A Sense Of Perspective
Posted: Aug 27, 2015
The rich tapestry of complexity that goes into designing a building - particularly a large public installation like a hospital or airport - would be unbelievable to many members of the public, who pass through their wards and terminals without a second thought as to what is holding up the roof or keeping the lights switched on; but for those tasked with designing and building these mammoth spaces, CAD designers can offer a crucial sense of perspective, helping to keep the task under control.
One of the great ironies of these kinds of buildings is that they are often deliberately designed to seem simple - large open spaces that can accommodate crowds of people safely, or allow huge numbers of travellers to pass through them on a daily, weekly and yearly basis. Our CAD designers in our UAE offices are working on many of the most ambitious projects of the present day, and in these instances there is a fine balance to be struck between creating cavernous open-plan interiors, while including the structural work needed to support the span of the roof, not to mention hiding away the utilities like power, water and drainage.
Putting together the pieces of this puzzle is what Building Information Modelling or BIM is all about, and our CAD designers are able to construct a virtual model of your project that not only provides you with a 3D snapshot of the finished structure, but can also pan forwards through time to predict changes in the environment and the costs associated with its maintenance during the years that lie ahead - all part of the conceptualising of the finished structure that CAD services are designed to deliver, without the need to lay so much as a single brick in real life.
It's all part of the overall master plan of your project, and our CAD designers are just one stage - albeit an early and important one - in the delivery of the finished building, with the architect another crucial cog in the first phase of development, and all of the builders, tradesmen and decorators playing their own part in turning the digital CAD designs into a physical reality. But however many people are involved, it all begins with that design on a computer screen, which gives you a chance to view your design from all angles and tweak it to perfection.
