Blueprinting
" Every well built house started in the form of a definite purpose plus a definite plan in the nature of a set of blueprints."
- Napoleon Hill.
Blueprinting in structural engineering is a process used to create detailed technical drawings and plans for buildings and other structures. These blueprints serve as essential communication tools between structural engineers, architects, contractors, and other professionals involved in the construction process. The blueprints provide a comprehensive representation of the structure's design, dimensions, materials, and construction details. During the blueprinting process, structural engineers use specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software to create precise and accurate drawings. These drawings that can incoporated as a service in our organization are given below.
