BUILDING SYSTEMS >> Autodesk® Building Systems 2006

Product Information

It is an AutoCAD®-based building design and construction documentation solution for Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing engineers, designers, and drafters - improving productivity, accuracy, and coordination.

Overview

Connect it all-from conceptual design through construction documentation. Autodesk® Building Systems provides integrated AutoCAD®-based building systems design and analysis for increased productivity, accuracy, and coordination.

"With Autodesk Building Systems, everybody has a higher level of confidence because everything is better coordinated. With coordinated shop drawings, we've eliminated cost overruns by as much as 65 percent by reducing conflicts in the field." - Bill Hashman, CAD/IT Manager, Total Mechanical

Improve Workflow Efficiencies with Increased Productivity
Flexibly implement Autodesk Building Systems, adapting it to existing workflows to improve the design process. Move from schematic design to documentation faster through automated construction documents with an object-based model. Reduce drafting time by working in an intuitive design environment with intelligent engineering objects.

Streamline the Design Process Through Greater Accuracy
Incorporate actual industry-based parts and equipment into design layouts for more efficient design development and construction documentation. Automatically exchange engineering data among model and third-party analysis, fabrication, and estimating applications. Reduce requests for information (RFIs) and costly design changes in the field with construction documents that are dynamically linked to the design model.

Work Effectively with the Extended Design Team for Increased Coordination
Help ensure coordination with architectural and structural designs prior to construction with instant feedback from the object-based model. Clearly communicate design intent with a realistic representation of building systems directly from the model. Collaborate seamlessly with the extended team using the industry-leading DWG file format.
