Changes for construction industry a BIM Update

The adoption and use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility that creates a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility to form a reliable basis for decisions from conception to the end of its life-cycle, has skyrocketed over the past few years. Some of the benefits of BIM include faster delivery time, improved collaboration among stakeholders, reduced costs for construction and facility operations and a reduction in change orders. more here

Real benefits of using CAD design software

Going Paperless In The Construction Industry
Envision the day coming where you no longer use paper in your daily activities? We’re talking no more hard copies of plans and specs, invoices, contracts, time sheets, punch lists, contracts or bids.
Storage, If you’ve been in business for any length of time you probably have filing cabinets or file boxes full of project documents, invoices, time-sheets, tax documents, etc. With paper storage your documents are susceptible to fire and flood damage as well as theft of confidential information. A secure cloud computing storage solution is probably best.
Plans & Specs, 2D paper plans are good, but they pale in comparison to when you look at all the additional information that can be provided with BIM models. Augmented reality, tablets, digital plan tables, SMART Boards and wearables like smart hard hats and Microsoft’s HoloLens will make paper plans and specs obsolete...
Employee Time sheets, Keeping up with your employees paper time sheets can be a real hassle. Not only do you have to make sure they’ve all been filled out and completed properly, you also have to get them safely back to the office so your HR or accounting folks can get them entered and processed to pay your employees...
Project Management & Documentation, There are all sorts of software solutions and mobile apps that have been developed for the construction industry manage and document both your projects and your entire construction business. For further review click the link  (source: constructiondatacompany)

CAD design software,important tool for design

CAD Design Software The days of drawing architecture plans by hand is not yet history or gone. However, today most are using some type of cad design software. It speeds the process makes checking, developing plans more accurate and easier than ever to work with. Software from Autodesk

Computer aided design software is used in almost every industry, in projects as wide ranging as landscape design, bridge construction, office building design, and movie animation. With 2D or 3D CAD programs, you can perform a variety of tasks: you can create a 3D model of a design, apply material and light effects, and document the design with dimensions and other annotations. Since the introduction of AutoCAD software in 1982, Autodesk has been a leader in developing CAD design software. We have helped define what CAD can do through Digital Prototyping and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, which enable extended teams to explore their projects’ key physical and functional characteristics digitally, before the projects are built. Find the right CAD design tool for your needs. Here's the link

Useful CAD Tools

Useful and helpful CAD Tools. 
Good software and a great computer is always a plus. Computer aided design software can vary for each user. Computer hardware and machines are very important, depending upon the use can dictate how much power in a machine one should get. the following are good examples of what a good company may use, a little pricey but worth it.
