How Computer-Aided Design Improves the Workplace

Article Abstract:

The use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) is yielding similar benefits to architects that word processing has given to automated offices. CAD allows processing of numerous design drafts, saving time and permitting a higher level of control over the accuracy and completeness of architectural sketches. CAD may yield benefits in the administration of an architectural firm through better definition of responsibilities, more efficient delivery of design documents, and budget control advantages of computerized inventories and cost summations. The use of CAD in interior design by an architectural firm presents advantages to a client after construction by facilitating renovation, occupancy, management and remodeling operations.
