Outsourcing Architectural Engineering and Design Services to India

Outsourcing architectural services like architectural drawings, cost estimations, layering, and 3d modelling, to India is a cost effective option which gives you great quality results.

Which Architectural Services Can Be Outsourced to India?

Drafting

All drawings like construction details from architectural plans, working drawings from raw data, technical drawings and comprehensive specification sheets can be drafted by Indian firms, at cheaper rates and better standards of detailing. Firms in India widely offer AutoCAD Drawings from hand drawn sketches or blueprints. Complete construction drawings can be created from general layout sketches, with details like furniture plans, telephone and electrical plans, reflected ceiling plans, floor finish plans, partition and door hardware schedule plans. Elevations and perspectives are also offered.

Estimations

Indian firms offer quantity survey estimations as well as cost estimations from the initial working drawings or construction plans. The volumes of different types of material required could be provided if the quality specifications and rates (which need to be furnished from the location of the building) are given to the firm. The preparation of Tenders with detailed specifications and quantities can also be outsourced. Cost estimations are usually conveyed through Microsoft Excel reports with graphics and files. The software used for building quantities is MathCAD Professional. The estimation of structural steel including sections, quantities and sizes are also offered.

Structural Engineering

Drafting and Design - Services like 3D Structural modeling, structural drafting and analyses using software like STAAD-III and Stardyne are readily available in India, for both dynamic and non-linear analysis.

Other structural engineering services also include 3D Finite Element Models that predict the behavior of the proposed structure under different kinds of loads and stresses. Being aware of structural weaknesses before building a prototype can greatly reduce overhead costs and facilitate a more functional and resilient design.

Connection design facilities and calculations based on ASD or LRFD standards are also available, using software like DesconWin or X- Steel.

Electrical and Plumbing Plans

Both drawings and 3D models of the electrical wiring plans and structure can be made using software like Architectural Desktop. The same representations can be done for plumbing plans as well.

Layering

Refers to a stack of drawings showing different details as part of the same document. For instance, a document showing electrical plans, plumbing structures, and air conditioning called layering. Each layer can either be viewed independently or in combination with the other layers. This gives the builder all the information about electrical and other details in the building.

Conversion Services

Conversions from one format to another, be it from paper to digital formats or from the FPS system to the metric system can be outsourced. The conversion services most commonly offered are digitization services, which involve conversion of blueprints and terrain maps to the CAD format. Conversions from front elevations to side and back are also offered.
