ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS LIBRARY

Have you ever wanted to know how to wire a house in a flood prone area?      Ever wanted to make provision for future installation of photo voltaic panels?

Do you want to improve your firms’ professional standing, and reduce your risk, by including exact construction details?

Want to save time but produce higher quality plans? …. then look no further ….. 600+ construction details are ready for you in the ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS LIBRARY.

The library covers most areas of construction.   These details cover a broad range of construction types and methods and materials ... Brick veneer, Concrete Masonry block, Clad frame, Monolithic slab, Built up slab on ground or Timber framed floor - Usually you will find the exact detail that you need ready to simply copy and paste into your drawings.

For architecture that is unique or one off… save your valuable time by selecting a detail that is close to your requirements and use it as the basis to make a new one. Save it to your own library and you are on your way to impressing clients and demonstrating your professional skills to builders.

Details can be imported directly into your drawings in any of the following formats:

·         ArchiCAD Module files (.MOD)                       

·         AutoCAD drawing files (.DWG)

·         Drawing Exchange files (.DXF)

·         Drawing viewer files (.DWF)

·         Image files (JPEG)

·         Adobe Acrobat (.PDF).

Standard notes in obligatory drawings (plans, elevations, sections etc) need no longer be repetitive leaving risk of errors. Simply reference the unique detail No. in the note and there is no risk of redundancy. For example : (Note on elevations – 4.5mm Hardieflex soffit sheeting, Note on sections – 4.5mm Verselux soffit sheeting.) Unless you check both notes carefully there is risk of an error. The solution (Both notes – Soffit framing and sheeting in accordance with detail GM-03) Now all you have to do is check the detail drawing for your needs. 

No more un-billable hours spent searching the internet for manufacturers details, paying yearly subscriptions to other CAD detail web sites and ending up with a hodge- podge of details that have different fonts, different dimension styles and hatch patterns that are not uniform over all details and have been produced by 100 different offices. Now all your details are uniform in look, with almost 40% of the Architectural Details Library having an axonometric view that even a complete novice can understand. The client and the builder are impressed that you have gone to extraordinary lengths.

If you are a competent CAD operator or designer you can probably develop these details yourself, However consider the time,….. even if you research, detail, convert and file 10 drawings per day, it will take you 60+ days of work.

At just $225 per disc, the Architectural Details Library gets you up and running for less than $0.38c per detail.
