Architectural Design and Construction Process for Building using 3D Modelling Software

Introduction
Building architecture design was the set of activities involved in the construction of the
building. This process was carried out in the design stage. This process consists of the
ergonomic design as well as the outline of the building design. This design was developed by the
architecture. This process was the very important process in the construction. This process
converts the structural parts into the final construction part. Here the aesthetic design was
considered as the important factor. In this report, we are going to develop the design as well as
the constructional outline for the building using the 3D modelling software. This process first
starts with the site selection as well as site measuring process. Here all the steps involved in the
architectural design was explained.
UK Design Standards
The building design and construction process involved in the life of many humans beings.
So this process needs some set of rules and conditions. Many countries in the world follow the
different set of standards. These standards are developed by the government agencies. They are
the acts as the guidelines for the architectures and engineers. Among those standards, UK
standards are well-known standard. These standards are followed by many countries. This
standard brings the guidelines for the each and every element in the construction. It considers the
structural requirements as well as the ergonomic design requirements of the building. In this
project, UK standards are considered as a guideline. Based on this standard the various elements
are selected.
Design Procedures
Designing of the building means the splitting the bulk work into the small works. The
architectural design of the building involves in the following three stages. These are considered
as a major stage in the design process. And these three stages are explained in the below context.
Site Evaluation
pg. 1

The site evaluation was the first stage of the architectural design evaluation process. Here
we need to assess the site completely. In this stage, we need to collect the details about the site
and its parameters like length, area, breadth, and buildings near the site. These parameters are
needed to assess before the design development. That brings the guidelines for the design. Also,
that avoids the problems in the construction. For our problem, the site assessment was
completed. The site has the area of 0.08867 hectares. And the more details about the site was
measured, these details are used during the design and construction stage.
Software Selection
For developing the architectural design for the building we need to use the 3D modelling
software tools. For that purpose there are many software tools are available in the market. We
need select the software based on our requirement. For our design ‘Autodesk Revit 2019’
software was selected. This software contains the bunch of features for the architectural design
of the building.
Outline Design Development
The schematic overview of the design was developed by using the Autodesk Revit 2019
software. This process started with the choosing the architectural template. Because the Revit
software has the preloaded templates for the building we need to select the design type. In our
case, the architectural Design template was selected. That has the basic stages involved in the
architectural design. Here we need to make some changes based on the requirement.
First, we need to add the levels in the elevation. That helps to make the design based on
the floor we need. In our case, we need to design the ground floor as well as the first floor. So
here three levels are selected. The distance between each level was selected as 10 foot. That was
shown in the below figure.

Then we need to develop the outer walls of the construction. For the wall selection, we
need to follow the UK standards. Then we need to draw the outline drawing for our requirement.
Then we need to develop the internal rooms and features of the building. This process was done
in the following two stages.
 Ground Floor
 First Floor
Ground floor
Based on the requirement we need to create the following buildings. And they are listed
below.
Reception - 1 Nos.
Meeting Room - 3 Nos.
Private Office rooms - 2 Nos.
Water closets - 4 Nos.
For developing these rooms we need to create the boundary walls. They are created to
spilt the each rooms. And the developed design of the first floor was illustrated in the below
figure.
