and creating revised design drawings to reflect changes in elevation plans, aesthetic design,
design updates and changes in plans to meet local building code requirements.
2. Use database-driven applications to facilitate accuracy – To facilitate greater accuracy
and control when creating 3D models, floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and
material and quantity take-off information, using database-driven applications such as Revit
would help.
3. Utilise skilled and experienced resources – To incorporate home design options
effectively, using an experienced and skilled team that specialise for instance in traditional
build homes, steel frame residential construction or wood/timber frame construction would
be beneficial. A team that is aware of the latest building requirements will provide an added
benefit when creating home design options.
4. Employ a team that is knowledgeable about local building codes and standards – To
ensure home designs and design options adhere to local building codes and standards, it is
advisable to have a team that is updated and knowledgeable about local building codes and
global standards such as American AIA, British RIBA, Canadian RAIC and Australian AIA.
5. Involve all key project stakeholders - When working on design options, all key
stakeholders of the project must be involved to facilitate better coordination, identify
limitations, understand expectations, and make the project management process efficient
and effective.
As the demand for housing continues to increase and given the challenges to be dealt with
when providing home design options, homebuilders must stay competitive. To increase
operational efficiency, required support is necessary, in terms of utilising technology-based
systems, using the latest software, employing a skilled and experienced design team and
adopting innovative project management methods.
At XS CAD, we provide Revit BIM models & customised construction drawings for houses
based on the design options selected by buyers. All design options are added to the base
plans to provide a consolidated construction drawing set for the chosen design option. We
also create 3D interactive plans allowing users to view different design options for a chosen
house type. Our design team work seamlessly with local project teams to provide
documentation and production drawing services for new home designs and new plan updates
for timber-frame, traditional and steel-frame homes. To find out how you can cost
effectively utilise a dedicated team of experienced designers to get customised designs and
residential construction drawings for each design option variation, contact us.
