A look at critical design collaboration challenges and resolution with powerful cloud-based design collaboration.
Reading Time: 7 minutesIntroduction: Collaboration is an essential aspect of architecture and design, where different professionals work together to create innovative and functional buildings. However, the process of design collaboration can be challenging due to factors such as distance, time, communication barriers, and differing opinions.e In recent years, cloud-based design collaboration platforms have emerged as a solution to
Optimizing Design Collaboration: 5 Ways Architects Can Minimize Errors
Reading Time: 4 minutesArchitecture is a field that requires a great deal of collaboration between different parties involved in a project, including architects, engineers, contractors, and clients. With the increasing complexity of building designs, collaboration errors have become more common, resulting in delays, cost overruns, and even legal disputes. To address these challenges, architects are turning to cloud-based
Building Together: Why Architects Need Design Collaboration Platforms in Preconstruction
Reading Time: 7 minutesArchitecture is a collaborative process that involves a multitude of stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, clients, and building owners. The preconstruction phase is an essential part of the building process, where architects and their teams conceptualize, plan, and design the project before construction begins. This phase sets the foundation for the entire project and requires
Top 5 reasons construction management software is so important
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe construction sector is highly competitive and subject to a myriad of dynamic parameters. The survival and success of AEC firms depend on the adoption and adaptation of custom-built construction management software and construction technology. Deploying construction management tech early on in the project lifecycle improves planning and resource allocation, reduces errors and risks, boosts
Top 5 reasons rework is witnessed during construction
Reading Time: 4 minutesRework is a process that no team or stakeholder would want to discover during construction. It means a small or major portion of the earlier design or layout needs to be redone to resolve the issue. Clashes or issues showing up on the field result in delays and unnecessary costs. Rework can damage proposed costs

Why annotations and markups within drawings are important for Architects.
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnnotations and markups within drawings are essential tools for architects, allowing them to communicate ideas, highlight important information, and collaborate effectively with other stakeholders throughout a project’s lifecycle. Annotations and markups refer to notes, symbols, and other visual indicators added to drawings, plans, or blueprints. There are several reasons why annotations and markups are crucial
Why Design Coordination is an integral part of modern-day construction
Reading Time: 3 minutesInaccurate design coordination in the preconstruction stage can lead to rework, delays, and cost overruns. Inability to resolve interferences between various trades viz. Architecture, Structure, and MEPF equipment lead to onsite clashes. Coordination issues arise when the Architectural and structural layout and MEPF components do not align with each other. Design coordination is an essential
