A number of steel components like steel columns, beams, trusses, stairs, handrails, braces, steel joists, etc are required for the construction of several steel structures. Without proper steel design, steel detailing and Steel Shop Drawings , these structures may turn into disasters. The reason for opting structural steel in construction is its qualities: reliability, durability, and weather resistance. Steel detailing is a process that involves the creation of engineering drawings for steel members. These drawings are used to erect steel members later on with required precision. It also forms a link between different team members such as fabricators, architects, engineers, and contractors. Providing strength and stability for a structure is the responsibility of structural engineers while complying with the major standards and codes is the responsibility of an architect. The Two Types of Drawings Required for Steel Design Detailing: 1. Erection Drawings: ...

"Every great architect is necessarily a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age." These are the words of a world-famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. The architectural designs today are already meeting the imagined needs for tomorrow as told by the experts. The future of architecture is near and it includes towers with rotating floors, a park with the ability to clean raw sewage and more. Here is a list of 5 Architectural trends that will shape the future.  1. Hypnotic Bridges: A pedestrian footbridge is constructed over the Dragon King Harbour River in China by NEXT Architects. The bridge design has three individual swirling lanes hovering across the landscape of Changsha. The Architectural Drafting and Design of this bridge is marvelous that represents a Chinese knot that comes from an ancient decorative Chinese folk art. 2. Rotating Skyscrapers: Forget about fighting for an east facing apartment, the Dynamic Architect...

Integrated Architecture is a norm in current times for Architectural Engineering Services as it seamlessly combines the multiple IT programmes enables the technology to untangle the complex Architectural issues. One of the best invention AEC industry have is Building Information Modeling (BIM) that successfully execute the project from early stages of project design to the entire collaborative construction model. One of the best benefits of assimilating Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the potential to easily analyze and evaluate programs during designing. Stems from practical experience of architectural professionals, BIM prove to be incredibly powerful for the design process. The coordination between different discipline is comprehensively directed within the 3D model at an initial stage, minimize the technical issues at the site, and the result comes in the form better design information. The integrated Architecture offers the BIM content service, a compilation ...

Civil Designing and Drafting services have a number of uses to professionals involved in Civil Engineering Projects . This includes designers to model the designs for a structural support, detail drafting to create design details, shop drawings for fabrication, and erection drawings for construction. Each of the mentioned drawings is required for getting a successful solution to the construction process. Challenges of Drafting Services: Drafting is a time and manpower consuming service for Civil Engineering Projects . Even though there are a number of structural standards available to be used again, there are a number of operations like anchor bolt, connection details, etc that requires documentation. When there is a large number of documents, chances of errors increase. The errors that may be generated during drafting are as follows: 1. Human errors generated due to complex detailing when the required protocols are not met. 2. Changes occurring in the docume...

The use of CAD for Architecture design drafting began late back in 19’s. During that time, CAD software was used only on the computers while in the present modern day world it can be operated on most of the computers and laptops. Let us understand how CAD has contributed in architecture design drafting from beginning till now and what is its scope in the future.  Beginning: How CAD was used earlier for drafting? At the time of inception, the drafters used to store CAD drawings in the floppy disks. This disk was shared with the team members of other departments like Mechanical , electrical, plumbing, and Structural . Each team will then add their designs to this disk until all the designs are added. This whole process was very tedious and time-consuming. Also, it had higher risks of errors and redundancies. But CAD, even at the starting stage, provided the benefits of making changes within minutes. This created a revolution in the AEC industry. • Fi...

MEP or Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing is an important part of building project required for creating a safe and comfortable environment inside the building. MEP Consulting Engineers are hired to accomplish one of the following tasks:     • To make sure all the MEP systems are established properly inside a new building.     • To identify the defaults in existing MEP systems and improve its performance by correcting it. In a way, MEP Engineering service is an investment for your project. You pay for a service and in return, it takes care of optimizing the building through its entire service life. Here’s a list of things that MEP consulting engineer takes care of:- 1. Mechanical:- Mechanical engineering services are required for efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation. MEP consulting engineers step in here. They install and maintain various heating and cooling systems like heaters and ventilators. They make sure every system works fine to p...
