  Modern business is run with adaptability and efficiency. Among all the strategic imperatives, outsourcing allows them to reallocate capital expenditures (CAPEX) towards operational expenditures (OPEX). This transformative empowers businesses to enhance their operational agility, responding swiftly to changing market dynamics, technological advancements, and evolving customer demands. Moving CAD drafts and design requirements from CAPEX to OPEX, i.e., outsourcing these services, represents a strategic pivot that holds transformative potential for businesses. Traditionally, organizations have invested substantial capital expenditures (CAPEX) in establishing and maintaining in-house design and drafting departments. However, as the business landscape evolves, the benefits of reallocating these capital-intensive functions to operational expenditures (OPEX) through outsourcing become increasingly apparent. Reallocating CAPEX to OPEX by Outsourcing CAD By partnering with a CAD out...

Look around you, your habitat, your workplace. It's safe to say you live in a well-lit, relatively safe, warm, and comfortable environment. But was this the case, say, 500 years ago? No. Things changed for the better, and they will even so in the future.  Technology and overall living standards have improved. Going forward, the place we live and work in will become even better, smarter, and greener. The built environment today is responsible for over 39% global CO2 emissions. To address this, the construction industry has some interesting solutions like building a house out of air! Housing of the Future Construction today is characterized by digitization, efficiency, safety, climate-resilience, and sustainability. We want to use the best tools, locally available materials, and reduce carbon footprint from operations, all the while being future-ready. Meaning, we want our houses to be able to withstand climate change. Here are a few methods that fit in these criteria- Prefab / Modu...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a booming field. Today, AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools are comprehending, interpreting, and responding to queries with new efficiency and speed. Such tools are also available specifically for AEC professionals. Today, we will look at few models which have been developed to solve different AEC related queries. Since the industry is grappling with material and labor shortages, bringing sustainability in operations, and dealing with tight budgets and deadlines, these tools are these tools are instrumental in streamlining processes, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing efficiency. 3 Tools that Serve Specific AEC queries These tools are intended to be the know-it-all's of specific subjects. We have Hilti's BIM-powered Integrated Project Solutions (IPS), Bluon's MasterMechanic which is a smart tools for HVAC profesisonals, and Slate's fenerative AI-tool for analysis and decision making in construction. Let's lear...

Outsourcing has its advantages – it removes the necessity of maintaining an in-house team, negates the requirement to purchase costly software for specific tasks, and enables businesses to concentrate on their core work. Ultimately, this results in significant reduction in overhead costs . Budgeting is important if you’re an AEC firm. It's the linchpin for financial planning and resource allocation, ensuring alignment among timelines, resources, and client expectations in projects. When an AEC firm outsources tasks, like CAD drafting and designs , it streamlines processes, enhances efficiency, and often reduces costs, bolstering the firm's overall financial strategy . Outsourcing to Cut Overheads Firstly, let’s understand what overhead costs are. Overhead costs are the expenses that aren't directly tied to producing a specific product or delivering a service. They include various operational expenditures such as rent, utilities, administrative salaries, insurance, and...

  The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is digitizing rapidly. Technological innovations are reshaping the way we design, build, and manage operations. From sophisticated CAD software to 3D printing and generative AI (Artificial Intelligence), advanced technologies are bringing new levels of efficiency, accuracy, and speed into AEC operations. Furthermore, these technologies are helping the industry reach its net zero targets. Taking cognizance of the need for sustainability and environmental responsibility, the sector is using these tools to reduce its carbon footprint and minimize resource wastage. Let’s take a glance at these technologies. 5 technologies revolutionizing AEC For something to qualify as a good or useful technology, we must quantify its effectiveness and impact. This means assessing its ability to meet specific objectives, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall quality of life or work. The following technologies are making huge ...
