Civil
AutoCAD for Civil Architects
AutoCAD-Civil/Architects is by far the most popular programme for converting architectural and civil engineering concepts and specifications into blueprints, drawings, and models.
SketchUp
SketchUp is a 3D design software developed by Google. It makes 3D modelling possible for everyone. SketchUp is used for a wide range of 3D modelling projects, like architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, and video game design. It has a set of robust toolsets and also supports third-party plugins. This means one can create visuals, animations, and models using images and architectural drawings from AutoCAD, PDF, Revit, and so on.
V-Ray
V-Ray is a plug-in for third-party 3D software such as 3ds Max and Maya. In architectural and civil engineering, it is used for visualisation and graphics. V-Ray works seamlessly with SketchUp and Revit. It has an extensive material library and resources. Hence, it is widely used to create photo-realistic presentations of buildings, interiors, and other civil structures.
Max for Engineers
Autodesk 3ds Max is a professional 3D computer graphics program. It is used for making 3D animations and images and has a whole host of modelling capabilities. Though 3ds Max is highly popular for developing entertainment content and video games, it is also an excellent software for architectural visualisation and building design. It has the necessary capabilities to create complex 3D models with a very fast workflow.
Revit Architecture
Autodesk Revit is a building information modelling software for architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers, designers, and contractors. It is widely used to create a unified model that all disciplines and trades can use to complete their work. At the heart of Revit’s parametric capabilities are the ensure that changes made are reflected instantly and appropriately throughout the design.
ETABS
ETABS is a building analysis and design software. It is an integrated software package widely used for the structural analysis and design of buildings. ETABS offers a wide range of code-based design features for steel frames, concrete frames, cold-formed steel, and aluminium frames. The software uses modelling tools and templates, code-based load prescriptions, analysis methods, and solution techniques for structural analysis and design.
Microsoft Office With PPM
MSP is a project, program, and portfolio management software. It belongs to Microsoft. Microsoft Project(MSP) is widely used for planning, managing, and executing projects of all kinds. In architectural and civil engineering, it is used to handle large and small construction projects. Some of its main applications are in planning and scheduling, resource management, and cost management.
Primavera with PPM
Primavera is a project, program, and portfolio management software. It belongs to Oracle Corporation. Primavera is widely used for planning, managing, and executing projects of all kinds. In architectural and civil engineering, it is used to handle large and small construction projects. Some of its main applications are in planning and scheduling, resource management, and risk and issue management.
