Bracing plans determine where to place the components of a bracing system to withstand wind loads and seismic pressure. Qualified, experienced and accurate partners are needed to provide architectural design drafting, with high quality and more detailed architectural CAD services, to ensure that bracing plans are beyond reproach.

Designing HVAC for Modern Offices
We spend a considerable part of our day within modern offices. It’s important that we are comfortable during this time so that we can be both productive and at peace. The quality, temperature and humidity levels of inside air must be optimised to suit the majority of the occupants. The design of the HVAC system in offices plays a major role in maintaining the right quality of air. Here’s how: Read More Designing HVAC for Modern Offices
How Future HVAC Systems Must Adapt to Climate Change . . .
The winter of 2017 saw Ras Al Khaimah, an emirate in the desert country of the United Arab Emirates, experience unprecedented snowfall and Dubai, normally home to blistering heat, endure hailstorms and arctic winds. Unusually hot weather in Europe in 2018 produced drought, wildfires, crop failures and a heat wave of record-breaking temperatures. Researchers estimate that the likelihood of a heat wave was doubled by global warming. Polar temperatures are rising faster than those at mid latitudes, a development known as polar amplification.

Common UK and US Architectural Home Design Styles
Speaking English isn’t the only thing the United Kingdom and the United States of America have in common. Both countries also feature aesthetically appealing houses constructed according to regulated and modernised residential design. The highly urbanised population centres of both nations are host to an array of diverse home styles that have a number of common features, though they are miles away. An ocean may separate them, but fine design does not.
Hierarchy of Revit Family Creation
Just as every great building begins with a single brick or plank, designing with Revit begins with a Revit family. Revit family creation is a specialised multi-layered field of expertise in design modelling and drafting. Read More Hierarchy of Revit Family Creation
UK, US Houses – Similarities and Differences
Besides a common language, the United Kingdom and the United States have another common trait. They include urbanised population centres that require efficient, precise home design. Residents of the UK and the US live in homes designed primarily according to available space and climate. Read More UK, US Houses – Similarities and Differences
Widening Opportunities with Revit Family Models
Construction design practices have come a long way. Tasks enabled by updated software have contributed significantly to the progress of design practices. Increasingly seen as best suited for construction design, Revit presents several useful features, such as the use of Revit family models. Read More Widening Opportunities with Revit Family Models
Key Features of Sustainable Architecture
Green design is also known as sustainable development, eco-design, eco-friendly architecture, and some even throw the term ‘arcology’ around. Whatever it’s called, sustainable architecture promotes nature and organic practices in architecture. Read More Key Features of Sustainable Architecture

Adding the Right Design Resource for Australian Housing Design
Think of Australia and you think of the outdoors, the ‘bush’, the ‘outback’, open land and open skies. Love of the outdoors and entertaining is entrenched in the Australian identity and reflected in the basic features of Australian architectural design for homes.
