For an increasing number of them, this transition entails moving from two-dimensional (2D) drawings to three-dimensional (3D) digital modeling. Invariably, this saves our [builder] clients thousands of dollars on each project,” he says, by essentially building their structure before they do. Tech Tools for Builders: Mobile Apps.

Construction of wall, floor, and roof systems offsite has multiple advantages, including compressing the project schedules, reducing site labor and waste, improving consistency and quality control, and increasing safety for workers. Multiple materials can be pre-panelized to provide the best efficiencies and results.

It''s a fairly common practice to create separate floors for structure and finishes. The structural "layer" of a floor may actually be modeled by the structural consultant, assuming the structural engineer we are working with uses Revit and isn''t working directly in the same model with us (architecture bias in this post).

Other common causes of structural failure are: (5) lack of appropriate professional design and construction experience, especially when novel structures are needed.

I particularly like how he separates "Architectural" drawing into three distinct categories. However, as an example, of where "electronic" is taking over for physical last year when I was the project architect and I had to send "sketches" to our structural engineer, what did I do?
