Technology:
VIA has adopted innovative drafting and 3-D modelling software
to produce accurate, useable, and beautiful drawings and images.
SketchUp is a 3-dimensional modelling program that we use at
the early stages of our projects. Features include: • fast, accurate 3-dimensional models
• real-time analysis from any view point
• precise shadow analysis
• animations and €œwalk-throughs€? for presentation
Revit is a revolutionary program that integrates production of
high-quality drawings with 3-dimensional modelling. Unlike
traditional CADD software, Revit constructs a 3-dimensional
model of the building from which coordinated plans, sections,
elevations and renderings can be generated. Features include: • High-quality permit and construction drawings
• unprecedented levels of drawing coordination
• €œreal-time€? changes to entire drawing set
• compatibility with consultant software
• shadow analysis
• photorealistic colour elevations
• precise, up-to-date scheduling
With these tools at our fingertips, we provide extremely high-
quality products, maximize efficient design and problem solving
time, and minimize technical and computer management time, all
of which adds value to the project.
