The drafting of structural cad drawings is a highly specialized sector in the engineering field, as these drafters have a dual skill set combining knowledge of building structures along with building foundations.
Our skilled structural steel detailers translate engineering layouts into detailed structural CAD drawings suitable for submission for steel fabrication and erection bidding.
A sample of the types of drawings we routinely prepare for architectural and engineering clients include, but are not limited to:
Roof framing plans and details
Structural elevations and cross sections
Using industry standard line work, notations, call-outs, dimensions, symbols and proper welding and finish annotation, we deliver a professional set of detailed drawings for projects both large and small.
In a global environment where competitors can arise from within the local region or exist on the other side of the world, the need to develop concrete business strategies that increase revenue and gain a greater portion of contract bid awards is becoming crucial.
The evolution of mega-developers has eradicated the practice of winning projects by ‘presenting the best conceptual design that transfers requirements into solutions’.
The modern architectural firm is embroiled in a highly competitive environment based on aggressive marketing infrastructures, laser-focused building type specializations, and a redirection of the urban construction landscape where the role of technology is exhausted to create sustainable communities and energy-efficient built environments.
Developing a new business model base to compete with larger firms will require automating many workflows using 3D model-centric designs, instigating a highly efficient time-management system, and a proactive approach to attracting and influencing new clients.
Decrease expenses and overhead costs – When setting fees for architectural services, indirect expenses that are not chargeable to a specific project are included in the fee formula.
These expenses range from costly software upgrades, purchasing new IT hardware and its maintenance, general administrative staff and expenses, and travel related expenses to promote relationships with existing and prospective clients.
With CAD software becoming a way of life for the designers, the process of PDF to CAD Conversion has assumed a great significance for the design industry today.
Industry professionals like architects, structural engineers, interior designers, contractors, and various services consultants depend heavily on the process of PDF to CAD conversion for obtaining quality drawings, especially in the case of an extension/ addition/ renovation project.
The easy availability of countless online conversion companies often misleads people into believing that the conversion process is a simple one, however, that’s not true for it’s neither a simple nor an easy process.
Let us discuss some of these issues here.
PDF to CAD conversion provides a solid platform for the future design process; the quality of the converted drawings thus assumes a great significance.The process becomes quite complex since PDF files don’t contain any CAD entities like arcs or circles.One has to produce these arcs and circles out of either several small lines or out of Bezier curves,certainly not a walk in the park.
You need atop quality conversion software and skilled professionals to ensure good quality.
