A comprehensive note on important preconstruction

services!

Today the entire construction process depends on preconstruction engineering services. Gone are

the days when unplanned construction used to take place which used to result in countless

rework situations. Today every project stakeholder is very concerned about using efficient

techniques and technologies so that maximum benefits can be obtained by them and productivity

of design and construction professionals as well as the entire productivity of the project can be

improved.

This is the reason that a variety of preconstruction services have now been executed in the

preconstruction stage which help in streamlining the entire building process. Let me focus on

two important kinds of engineering services here in this blog one of which is drafting services

and another is modeling services. Drafting services are generally executed with the assistance of

drafting software like AutoCAD. When we say drafting services it means services that provide

engineering work related to development of construction drawings. In drafting services various

kinds of technical drawings are generated by knowledgeable drafters of a service providing

company. Different kinds of drawings that are created by CAD technicians during drafting phase

include architectural drawings, structural drawings and MEP drawings. For developing

architectural, structural and <a href=” http://www.teslacad.com.au/mep-services.php”>MEP

drawings</a> drafters are assisted with right specification provided either by an architect or an

engineer depending upon the discipline for which drawings are hired. For example MEP

drawings are hired then specifications from MEP engineers are necessary for the drafters.

Similarly if architectural drawings are generated then an architect has to provide required

specifications to drafters.

As construction drawings are necessary part of building process, one can never avoid or

underestimate the value of CAD drafting services.

Apart from drafting services modeling services are also important part of construction process

and hence these services are also executed with utmost accuracy in the preconstruction stage. 3D

models are developed for architecture, structure and MEP disciplines which contain detailed

information about the geometrical formation of the design. BIM models give detailed

information about the building design to AEC professionals and helps in analyzing the design for

its worth. Modifications can be made multiple times on BIM models which ultimately results in

the development of high end building design.

Apart from this clash detection services are also very crucial for building process as they help in

removing all the significant clashes between model elements. Execution of all these services

helps in seamless construction.
