Communications/Documentation

 

All project files and correspondence are recorded using our Risk Management software.  Projects are carried out using a fully documented process.  In this way we can deliver consistent results from project to project.

 

Design Centre (NQ) is a member of Building Industry Online website service.  Through Building Industry Online we can coordinate project documents with all consultants on each project as well as manage tendering services.

 

Design sketches and working drawings are made available to clients via email in the standard PDF format.  Drawing revisions and updates are instantly available, reducing meeting times and saving paper.  Out of town clients can stay in-touch with their project and be fully connected in the design process.

 

Computer hardware and cad/bim software

 

Design Centre (NQ) staff use latest available hardware and software technologies for their daily tasks.  All of our projects are draw using  the latest Autodesk Revit building information modeling software and Autocad software.  Drafting workstations run dual Xeon processors and twin 19inch LCD displays.

 

Autodesk Revit
Drafting and design work is produced using Autodesk Revit Building Software.  Revit is a BIM (Building Information Modeling) program.  The database nature of a Revit drawing ensures that changes are updated throughout the entire documentation set, so designs stay coordinated, consistent and complete.
