Offshoring architecture and design
A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable to offshore services in an industry such as design and architecture. After all, with hand-drawn drawings and renderings, physical presence mattered. But with each passing year as technology developed more and more, and various tools were designed to ease the process of drawings, a lot of architectural processes became digital. With digitization came the much-needed option of outsourcing. For decades several industries have been using this cost-reducing business model for their company’s benefit. Now even the architecture and design sector can and does outsource services in their field to improve and grow. Let’s see how offshoring in architecture is possible and why you should do it too.
Technological developments have been made in the field of architecture that allows the industry to hire offshore employees miles away. Telecommunication allows companies to interact with their offshore team regularly. With software like CAD available in the market, builders, construction companies, and real estate developers can hire offshore employees to work on the time consuming and detail-oriented building drawings. There are a plethora of services offered by offshore vendors such as architectural design, CAD drawings, and conversion, interior design drawings, animation and presentation, 3D renderings, etc. They offer you design solutions that are tailored as per your needs and budget. Even engineers from various specializations can be hired to provide their expertise. Like any other industry, it works only through the collaboration between an in-house team and an offshore team. Your employees on the site can provide detailed information about the project at work, along with the instructions about the work expected from them. Then allow them to use their skills to and provide you with quality results. Below we list you the reasons why offshoring architectural services work in your favor.
Get the best technology
Quality works require the use of the latest and most advanced tools available in the field. But this technology is expensive, not to mention requires proper maintenance and regular upgrades. But when you outsource drafting services to another country, you no longer need to invest in it. Your employees come equipped with the industry’s best tools and software, along with all the necessary infrastructure, at no extra cost to you. It gives you an edge over your competitors.
Get experienced employees
This technology needs some of the best-skilled individuals at work on them. You no longer need to look for technical expertise locally that would charge you big bucks. Instead, you get access to some of the most experienced professionals in the field who understand the technology at a much lesser price. Countries like India have some of the best experts in architecture and design whom you can bank upon for quality work and exceptional work ethic. They can offer you insights into your project, help you improve your design, incorporate changes, and overall develop it for the better. They can provide accurate 3D architectural renderings as well as animation for easy visualization for your clients as well as workers.
Get better turnaround time
As you let an offshore team deal with the elaborate designs and drawings in a different country, you get to work on other aspects of the project, or other projects. This ensures that more work is getting done in less time. Furthermore, as the working hours vary, your company makes progress even when your in-house team is not working. It allows for better turnaround time resulting in meeting the project deadline well in time.
Cut down on costs
As stated already, CAD software and technical staff required to operate it is highly expensive. For a small business, it is a significant sum to spend. Yet, in this competitive business, it is essential to utilize these technologies. So a viable solution for such companies is to hire an offshore staff of drafters at a reasonable price and avoid having to pay for the digital tools, IT systems, their administration, and upkeep. You get experienced professionals working on your project with the latest software in the market at a significantly lesser price.
Going global to fill in certain roles and needs in your company can really help your company be more productive. The time saved by delegating these intricate tasks to drafters and architects in an offshore country lets you focus on your core business; you can spend your time coming up with new designs, marketing your services, and building client relationships. It allows you to remain competitive and on top of your game, growing your company.
