The 7 most important requirements for CAD software

As a building services engineer, one of your tasks is to create models that accurately reflect what your company has planned. You need to confirm dimensional accuracy, ensure quality and produce usable and reliable results for downstream work, while also staying on schedule. Your efficient and high quality work is critical to your supervisor, the project manager and the business owner. Your services can ensure a steady flow of projects, secure profits and win new business for your company. However, planning and detailing building services projects is technically complex and challenging even in the best of circumstances. Modeling software is therefore often an absolutely essential tool to support you in your work. But with simpler modeling software, there is often only a limited range of options - with no technical data or calculations required for accurate, real-time design.
