IntroductionWhen it comes to creating extraordinary spaces, the art of Architecture Drafting Melbourne plays a crucial role. From residential homes to commercial structures, drafting is the bridge between creative designs and practical construction. If you’re planning to build, renovate, or explore architectural projects in Melbourne, understanding the nuances of this service is essential. This…

By 2027, the market for architectural services is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.5%. To cope with that there is a fast adoption of architectural BIM services.

Creating building information models from sketches and CAD drawings, it includes 2D & 3D Modeling, shop drawings, CAD , construction documents, as-built drawings with cost estimation.

Top BIM Company delivers Revit architectural services for different sectors including educational, infrastructure, commercial, mixed-use, and industrial. We work with our clients through the design process from schematic design to design development and construction documentation and are responsible for complete BIM modeling.

Every industry benefits from revolutionary trends in technology. For the architectural industry, CAD Design and Drafting came as a godsend to make designing and presentation of construction sketches easier. Through this innovative technology, architectural could save time in the initial design process and present more professional sketches to clients. Architectural CAD Drafting also helped operational costs in this industry as fewer resources were needed at the designing and drafting stages of construction.

Leveraging this technology ensured better dimensional accuracy, improved efficiencies, and cost-savings. 3D CAD Drafting enhanced productivity among designers and ultimately improved client relationships in the industry. It is one of the ground-breaking technologies in the architectural industry.

The entry of CAD Drafting has revolutionized the architectural world for the last four decades. CAD has revolutionized the intricate process of planning, design, and evaluation. Take a look:

  I am currently studying in the TVL track under the strand Technical Drafting. 

And to spread knowledge, I will be giving out information about the top 5 most commonly used words in TVL- Technical Drafting course,. Who knows.you might use or encounter this in the future if you are an aspiring Architect or Engineer of our industry. 

 1) T square :

For me this is the most used word in our course. Especially if you’re a grade 11 student.  A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used by draftsmen primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal lines on a drafting table. It may also guide a set square to draw vertical or diagonal lines. ( United States War Department (1940). Topographic Drafting. U..S. Government Printing Office. pp. 27–28.) 

2) Dimension: 

Dimensions are very important.  Based on Meriam it is a measurement of something in a particular direction, esp. its height,length, or width. 

It is commonly used when we are making floor plans. Dimensions are always present. For they are one of the essentials in creasing a design and they must be accurate because they provide the measurements of the rooms and walls. 

 3) CAD:

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.[1] CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for  manufacturing.(  Narayan, K. Lalit, 2008). 

 CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. The term CADD (for Computer Aided Design and Drafting) is also used. ( Duggal, Vijay (2000) ) 

4) FLOOR PLAN:

In architecture and building engineering, a floor plan is a drawing to scale, showing a view from above, of the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other physical features at one level of a structure.

Dimensions are usually drawn between the walls to specify room sizes and wall lengths. Floor plans may also include details of fixtures like sinks, water heaters, furnaces, etc. Floor plans may include notes for construction to specify finishes, construction methods, or symbols for electrical items.

( A Community Guide San Jose. Accessed 11 February 2009.) 

5) ELEVATION: 

An elevation is a view of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a vertical plane beside an object. In other words, an elevation is a side-view as viewed from the front, back, left or right (and referred to as a front elevation, [left/ right] side elevation, and a rear elevation).  

To simplify, elevation is the right, left, front, rear view of the floorplan, or any design. 

That’s all. I hope you learned something. I will be posting a video related to it, but I will choose only three words to discuss it deeper, for you to understand it further. 

Thank you guys!
