CAD drawings are the first priority of any construction project CAD technology which stands for computer-aided design technology has offered huge benefits for design and construction professionals since the time it has been in use. CAD technology totally relies on computer systems for the generation of extensive design and drawings that are used in construction. Design creation, modification as well as its analysis is all done through computer software such as AutoCAD by trained drafters. CAD software is indispensable when it comes to enhancing or bettering the quality of a design which remains the primary requirement of any project. AutoCAD is tremendously accountable for enhancing the productivity of drafters who can generate construction drawings within quick turnaround time. CAD technology is immensely used for developing effective documentation and databases for large construction projects. Documentation created through CAD technology helps in improving the communication between building stakeholders apart from design and construction professionals. Electronic files are the significant output of CAD drafting process and due to their digital nature these files (drawings) can be quickly communicated between design and construction professionals for the purpose of communication information. CAD drawings are useful in the design and construction of all the significant building disciplines such as architecture, structure MEP Services. Drafters trained in the technicalities of these disciplines apart from the being proficient in software application can quickly generate accurate drawings by using clients’ specifications. The most important quality of electronically generated drawings is that they can be modified really quickly if in case any inconsistencies are figured out by architects and engineers when they review them. The task of modification was very difficult in manual drafting wherein architects and engineers literally had to sit for hours for making changes in the drawings. And this used to happen when minor modifications used to be required by them on the drawings. At the time when major modifications were required they used to prefer to generate the drawing from the scratch instead of modifying the existing one since implementing modifications used to be really tiring. However, there is no such issue with CAD drafting wherein multiple changes can be implemented in the drawings within short times. And this makes them the first priority of design and construction professionals.
