Most Common Challenges of Designing a Building

Designing a building is not exactly an easy project to take on. From the process of designing the layout to determining which materials are going to be the best fit, it’s a time consuming job that requires a significant amount of time and money to complete. Whether you’re in the process of working on a new design for a building or you are wanting to start designing a new building, the team at Drafter Max wants to ensure that your process goes smoothly.

In today’s blog post, our team of professional drafters is going to go over a few of the most common challenges associated with designing a building.

Budget

Designing and constructing a building is not only time consuming, it’s expensive! Between materials and labor, you can eat through a budget incredibly quickly. With that being said, figuring out a budget is a huge challenge that needs to be faced when designing a building. Figuring out what types of materials you’d like to use, which features must be implemented, the amount of crews and professionals needed to tackle the job, and much more, will all contribute to the budget that you work with.

Communicating with All Teams

A building requires the expertise and knowledge of various teams of professionals. From the architect that will work on creating the structure to the electrician and plumber that will bring a new level of functionality to the building, it’s important that all teams are on the same page. While this is a must, it’s not always easy getting everyone on the same page. This can lead to some miscommunications, frustrations, and mishaps.

Hiring a professional that understands the jargon of various industries as well as how this project unfolds in each of them is one of the most beneficial things that you can do. A drafter is the most common example of a professional who will be able to break down the elements of a design and understand what every industry needs to know, making them an incredibly valuable asset to these types of projects.

Beauty vs. Functionality

While the appearance of a building is important, it’s definitely not all that matters in regards to a design. In order for a building to come to life, it needs to be equal parts functional and beautiful. This is something that often gets overlooked in the design process, which can leave buildings with pieces that aren’t cohesive or effective — not exactly an ideal scenario for a building.

Though we understand it’s exciting to think up the unique touches that will separate your building from the rest, you absolutely want to ensure the building you’re working on is going to take care of your needs. To avoid having a building that is beautiful but offers no functionality, hire a professional that can break down the needs and figure out a way, from there, to make them beautiful.
