Demand for engineering outsourcing services is increasing drastically In the contemporary period preconstruction engineering services are tremendously outsourced by construction companies and AEC firms from offshore countries. Outsourcing engineering services such as designing, drafting and modeling services for building projects was far from reality a few decades back. Nobody could think of constructing a building by hiring engineering services from a distant country. But all this is an unquestionable reality today, wherein effective buildings are constructed by architects and engineers with the assistance of outsourced engineering services.
This unbelievable thing is a reality today only because of technological advancements that have been experienced by the world in the last few decades. Since the time Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry has started to experiment with technology in terms of simplifying project execution it started to touch new heights.
Adoption of CAD technology wherein computer software has been used by design and construction professionals for developing construction drawings has opened a platform for outsourcing engineering services. Construction drawings which are now developed in digital forms with the support of CAD software such as AutoCAD can be easily outsourced by service providing companies to clients across the world. Digital drawings or 2D CAD drawings can be conveniently transferred from one country to another with the assistance of internet. That means drawings can be electronically transferred to clients within the fraction of seconds once they are competed by outsourcing companies. The speed at which drawings can be delivered to clients remains one of the important features of outsourcing services. Apart from CAD services BIM services are also outsourced by engineering design firms. Some of the BIM services which are in high demand include BIM modeling services for architecture, structure and MEP disciplines of the building, Clash detection services and BIM coordination services. Apart from these services BIM energy modeling services are also gaining momentum. BIM services outsourced by the clients help them in streamlining construction process which eventually accounts for seamless construction. Since out sourcing services are received by clients in highly cost effective rates their demand is continuously increasing. Engineering services are always delivered to clients within strict deadlines with high precision. Since there are many advantages of outsourcing services to the clients their demand is multiplying day by day.
