UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURAL

SOLUTIONS

Today is the time of the modern age where we all set our priorities, complemented by our
ambition to fulfill the same. Such demands have become strong by many people who work
towards achieving their goal and one of the main aims that most of the people have is having one
owner’s home.

Having a home is a big necessity as well as a luxury in today’s time. It falls in the category of
what Indians rightly call “ roti, kapda aur makaan”. But what is kind of house does one look for.
Well, it all depends on the individual, his needs, and his budget. All three work in sync to
determine the final yield of a housing project. While it is certainly not as easy as black and white,
it is also not a grey area. If there is one factor that will play a constant role in all kinds of works,
projects, and the client’s need and deal is the time factor. Time is ought to be given to realize the
potential of one space to turn into an envisioned reality.

By medium size projects, it means that there are still many building projects that are done less
than bigger scale but above the lower scale projects whereas by individual projects, it means
when a person takes the responsibility to undertake the renovation of his or her house or any
other structure. There could be a lot of gaps in the working system in the medium projects for
which he wishes to extend his technical expertise of Architectural Design, Building Information
Modelling, Project Management, and Earned Value Management.
In the following paragraphs, we will be discussing the different architectural solutions to an
individual, a company, an organization, or an institution that can use the services provided by
architecture firms in Gurgaon:

Architectural Designs;

Many firms will always be there to assist when it comes to designing all kinds of spaces.
Generally, people are hesitant to approach architectural firms when the space is small but the
need to transform the space into an exemplary one. They follow the philosophy of ‘form, follow,
function’ by which they design catering to their client’s needs and demands without any
compromise. Even at the smallest level, they are ever ready to deal with every aspect of the
complexity of designing, construction, and architecture.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process that
involves a process of “generating, storing, managing, exchanging, and sharing building
information in a reusable and interoperable manner” by using software that aids in building’s
design, construction, and maintenance. According to architects, “BIM is not a technology, it is an
environment. BIM is an environment where collaborators or different teams use a single software
system to create, review, share and maintain the entire project. BIM allows better collaboration
and communication between the clients and all the teams involved in the project.” BIM is a digital
version of the blueprints that are designed by the architects in Gurgaon for their projects. It is
skillful work that is performed by the various professionals formulating the whole structure or area
along with the dimensions that are designed very precisely. It is pre-planning to enable the
architects, professionals, and the client to understand how the structure will look like in its final
stage where every detail about the building is shared. The client is also at an advantage to share
his or her opinion on the same singular software from where all the other pconcerningNumerous
firms will would be updated about the changes demanded by a client. Proper pre-planning can
lead to a successful project with risks being foreseen and mitigated.
Project Management

Completing the construction work is most of the time a challenge in India’s scenario where the
construction process goes beyond the date and the construction cost often goes beyond the
budget wherein the end the client loses patience and at times confidence too in the construction
process.

The top architecture firms in Gurgaon ensures the project control of the work at every stage of
the building process by tracking the performance against the approved and agreed plans by
compiling the data of every stage, analyzing the whole construction process, and constructively
influencing the time and cost outcomes of the project through the effective communication of
information.

Earned Value Management (EVM)

EVM is the extension of the previous module of Project Management where it involves a fully
integrated cost and schedule control system for the evaluation of the whole progress and the
current status of the work. If there is any lapse on the schedule or exceeding budget expenses,
EVM helps measure the same.

Some benefits are gained from adopting the EVM approach such as Verifiable Status Report,
Trend Analysis, Decision Accountability, Current Status, Clear Objectives, Alternate Approaches,
Visibility in Results.
Now presenting the process by which we work through our design phase. This is one of the most
important stages because it is this stage that requires a lot of maneuvering of demands of the
client and the skills of the architect together. There is a lot of thought process that is put behind
every design and away is always worked out to implement the same.

There are multiple stages through which the designing process goes through before the outcome
which will be discussed below to understand the detailed introspection that is required at every
stage of designing:

The Discussion Phaseconcerning Numerous firms will

This is the first phrase that comes up between the architect’s team and the client. It is like a
formal conversation grabbing insights on what each side has to say. On one hand, the client
states his or her requirement of the project, the location where a structure would be made, and
lastly a broad idea of what the client desire to do with the design of the building or structure or
space.

The Conceptual Stage - Creation

After finalizing to go ahead with the project and some rudimentary thoughts on the kind of
designs preferred by the client, a very basic idea of design is formed which more or less serves
as the foundation which can be improvised later as needed.

The Conceptual Stage - Discussion

At this stage, we start working on the design templates that we show to our clients. We provide
some choices of design that are distinct numerous firms will, yet we are cautious that we do not
end up over-showing too many designs. The client should not feel perplexed by seeing
numerous designs.

Forming the Concept

This is the phase where the actual detailing starts with the design. It becomes more intricate as
detailing is undertaken to the core of the planning. The studio prepares a 3D model of a building
that encompasses all the preliminary building elements which throw light on the vision of the
building that will be structured, hence making the idea of the building formation comprehensive to
the client as well.

Formulating the Elevation of the Building

In this phase, the elevation of the building is discussed and designed according to the needs of
the client. There are endless options for the element of elevation for the building and the client is
taken through those options to choose the facade for each horizontal side of the building. They
work with different kinds of architecture ensuring that the interiors and exteriors of the building
complement each other.

Detailed Architectural 3D Model

Finally at this step, though not the end of the design process, a detailed architecture 3D model is
formulated and all the necessary layouts, elevations, and sections are incorporated in the 3D
model for better precision and details to work upon when it comes to the implementation phase.

Formulating Detailed Structural 3D Model

At this step, there is a strong collaboration between the top architects in Gurgaon and the
structural engineers who work in sync when it comes to rendering structural 3D models where
elements such as column beams, foundation, framing details are created with a lot of planning
and accuracy. The objective of the detailed structural 3D model is to ensure that the design is not
hundred by the structural faults of the building.

From the above approaches that are adopted by the multinational architecture firms, it is quite
clear that they value professional accountability and efficiency which they implement in medium
and individual projects. The visible advantage of implementing these modules is that proper
planning along with updated technology in the work process can also be implemented in medium
and individual-scale projects as well without any compromise in the quality and hence delivering
the best that they deserve irrespective of the level and budget of the project.
