Why Offshore Resources Are Ideal for High-rise Architectural & Interior Design

Towers have fascinated man since buildings were first created. They symbolised status, wealth and power. Today’s high-rise structures are more functional. Sometimes combining residential, hospitality and commercial needs as mixed-use buildings, modern high-rises serve complex purposes and therefore need comprehensive planning that is best supported by computer-aided design (CAD) services. The technical nature of architectural CAD services makes it imperative to find well qualified resources. Increasingly popular, outsourced CAD services handled by technically qualified offshore CAD teams offer several benefits.
Here’s why . . .
High-rise buildings have a variety of design requirements in terms of floor layouts, door and window placements, electrical wiring and plumbing, but some of the more vital requirements are related to emergencies and safety. Key design requirements for high-rise buildings include emergency systems, egress points and structural integrity. These may differ for different countries or even different regions.
Typically, the following guidelines are followed in most cases:
Also, design requirements can focus on prefabrication, so that architectural, engineering elements and structural systems are designed and made in a factory for on-site installations using flanges and high-strength bolts to join construction elements. Integrated, installable floor slabs, light wallboard and other prefabricated materials are also used in this increasingly popular process. In China, a 30-storey hotel building was constructed in 15 days using pre-assembled components. Prefabricated design drawings and models are additional services that can be outsourced.
Interior Design for High-rises
High-rise hotels and commercial buildings may have repetitive interior design details and elements. However, they still need to be detailed individually. This detailing may include the layout of rooms and may need to factor in lighting and temperature. Interior designers work closely with architects for safety issues, so that the finished interiors are both safe and aesthetically pleasing.
A niche segment, many companies hire a team of designers, using a variety of software, including AutoCAD and ArchiCAD, to work on their interior designing needs, such as:
Outsourcing these services, both for architectural design and interior design, result in a slew of benefits.
Benefits of Outsourcing Architectural & Interior Design Resources
For architectural design firms with a large number of ongoing or future projects and limited technically qualified human resources, outsourcing provides an ideal solution. Some of the benefits of outsourcing architectural design drafting and 3D modeling services are:
With the arrival of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology to support architectural design drafting, many Western firms have found that architectural CAD outsourcing services fit into their work schedules with ease. The only challenge is to find architectural CAD services and BIM outsourcing partners that are reliable, experienced and knowledgeable.
XS CAD has valuable experience providing BIM outsourcing services and architectural design drafting services for general contractors and design consultants. Our range of services for building design firms across the world include architectural CAD outsourcing services and we offer retained offshore CAD teams when required. We create these models, drawings and renderings by using Revit, AutoCAD, Illustrator and BIM 360 Design for cloud collaboration.
