Business Objectives

Architecture Drawing is fundamentally the pictorial representation of any construction, including every bit of detail such as wall color, floor space, material details, outlets, lighting, equipment, etc. It is used as a final drawing based on which engineers proceed further development. Earlier, Architecture Drawings were created manually using paper which was very strenuous and time-consuming. But from the 20th century, this trend started to change with the advent of software such as Auto-CAD. Even though this technology has made the work of engineers easier, the challenge was that software could only be used by those who are well versed with it. Keeping those challenges in mind Softnotions came up with a new solution where people can draw architecture plans without knowing the software; thus developed Modular Building Designer Application. 

This software is self-explanatory and can be handled by any person without having prior knowledge. This software is fundamentally used to create drawings for newly constructed modular buildings or the renovation of existing buildings. The drawings created using this software can be used as a document that specifies all necessary information and requirements such as:

  • Full view of construction including all dimensions
  • Elevation view and the sectional view from all sides
  • The sectional view of each wall
  • Space Plan
  • Material details of each part, such as Materials of window and door can be of steel, plastic, wood, iron, etc. roof can be of asbestos, wood, concrete materials (cement), etc

Business Challenges

Softnotions believed that this application will benefit the commercial industry in several ways: Standardization of diagrams will greatly reduce the cost of construction, and increase the quality of construction. A more accurate understanding can be obtained by all parties involved in building a building: Architects, Landscape Architects, Construction Companies, Construction Personnel, etc. Since the application was very complex, domain knowledge was essential for the development process. Business entities was lacking domain knowledge in this area. The technology expertise needed for developing the application was also difficult. Keen understanding of the solution architecture and technology awareness was essential. The quality of the application has to be pinpointed. Since it is a web application, it should only take fewer resources. The code has to be rigorous and error-free. It should be scalable. The application has to be compatible with any device or device in any part of the world.

Solutions

Softnotions worked with the clients to get domain knowledge for the development process. The application was created with the 3D view which improved the quality beyond customer expectations. The application was found to be workable and compatible with any device or device in any part of the world. Since basic knowledge of 3D had been acquired, the application was easy to handle, workable, and portable. Business Objectives Architecture drawings have evolved from individual drawings to a computerized drawing plan that can be used to make detailed decisions on construction during the real-time design stage. Save time by reducing manual work present during the process of creating drawings. This helps save time and money as well.

Summary

Earlier, Construction drawings were created manually using paper which was very strenuous and time-consuming. Nowadays, it is made on the computer. Off late, many new software versions are also being launched in the market to simplify the process of Construction Drawing. As we all know, it is impossible to do any work without any plan. The same theory applies to the creation of buildings, amazing architectures, or any machine design. We need a perfect plan/blueprint to create those things. Now a day’s technology is growing day by day, so to stay with the time we have to run with technology. The Modular Building Designer Application is a web-based application developed for the construction of modular building plans. This application is developed using the technologies such as Flex, PHP, and MYSQL.
