An Architectural CAD Technician is a skilled person, who uses software to create design plans for building projects. They create surface (2D) and solid (3D) design models of your building project. However, they work hand in hand with architects and structural engineers.
Below are four key benefits of having your project started off by an architectural CAD technician.
- The 2D and 3D designs created by the Architectural CAD technician virtually construct the structure before it is. The virtual model is a whole picture of how the structure will look like once it is complete. As compared to the traditional physical modeling, the use of 2D and 3D design models is faster and cheaper. In the traditional way, if the architect created a physical model of the structure, and the client wanted changes made to the design, the architect had to dismantle the model, make the changes to the design and then make another model with the changes incorporated. This is a tiresome activity for the architect and a costly one for the client, and it means that the design process would consume more time and money. However, with the 2D and 3D designs created by the Architectural CAD technician, altering the design is easy, fast and cheap.
- With the traditional physical modeling of building projects, there were chances of many errors since the models are man-made, but for the 2D and 3D designs, the accuracy level is very high since they are computer generated.
- With the 3D model, you can visualize how the project will look like once it is complete. Through walk-through and animations, created out of the 3D models, you get the whole picture of the project including building exteriors and interiors, landscape and minute details like switches and hinges.
- The 2D and 3D designs ability to model everything that pertains to the project gives you control over the project since you know the look of everything before it is. Moreover, there is coordination in the project since all the people involved in the project including the architects and masons are referring to the same document.
