Effective architectural framework is one of the basic requirements of a project It is highly important for AEC professionals and construction companies to understand that building’s looks are as important as it’s any other part. And to stand out in today’s competitive business environment construction companies must focus on the design and development of architectural framework of a building. For achieving and justifying this motive it is important to have the involvement of an experienced, skilled and creative architect in the building project. Architects are well trained in the design and development of architectural framework of the building and since the construction of other building disciplines such as structure and MEP greatly relies on architectural framework, he must design it effectively.
For designing and developing effective architecture for a building a large number of engineering services are executed in the preconstruction stage of the project such as architectural drafting services and architectural modeling services once the design is created by an accomplished architect. Architectural drafting and modeling services are executed with the assistance of an architectural service providing company. During drafting process the architectural design created by an architect is presented in the papers by the proficient drafters of the service providing company. Here the drafters of the service providing company have to make use of the rough sketches and specifications provided by the architect of the given building to generate different kinds of architectural drawings. Architectural drawings that are generated during the digital drafting process include site plans, floor plans, sections, and elevations etc. Drafter must provide attention towards the accuracy of the drawings since these drawings are later on used in the architectural modeling process. When the architectural drafting process is completed by the skilled drafters drawings generated during the process are delivered to the architects for review. The architect then examines architectural drawings thoroughly and checks if the CAD standards are properly followed by the drafters or not. In case the architect finds can issue with the drawings he/she prepares notes and sends the drawings back to drafters for corrections. Once architectural drawings are fully approved by architects they can then be forwarded as specifications for the modeling process. Information incorporated in the drawings is fully utilized by BIM modelers for developing 3D architectural model. A lot of advancements are done in the design during modeling process which results in the development of efficient architectural design for the building in question.
