The Management of Computer Aided Design for Construction

Computer aided design is increasingly appealing to architects and engineers as a design tool. No longer does it merely provide fast, repetitive production of design details. Now, thanks to interactive graphics, designers can visualise the design in three dimensions, can canvass alternatives and amend the design on screen. However, the problem now is not one of hardware or software, but the management and operation of technology. This book looks at the design process and how it can be accomplished more effectively with the aid of computers. It has been commissioned by Tw2 Solutions, one of the UK's leading suppliers of computer systems.
