Indian CAD Sector plays major role in world Architecture and Engineering
field.
An important UK 3D Architecture firm recently ordered more than 2,000
hours of CAD drafting and designing, dollar valued in the mid five
figure range, from The 3DCities India (3DCi), Indian engineering and
architectural design specialists.
(PressZoom) - Architectural/Engineering design is generating a great
deal of interest in the West, and India is increasingly being seen as a
hot destination. While rising costs and shortage of architects and
Engineers in the US, west Asia and Europe have opened up opportunities
in architecture design outsourcing, India architects’ technical
expertise and good English skills have made global majors warm up to
this market.
“There is a lot of work coming form US/EU clients today, the buildings
are conceptualized in the US, designed in India." says Peter
Ch.Architect 3Dcities India, an India based company executing
architecture design and drafting assignments for 7 years.(

Inward-bound jobs in architecture and design space are fairly varied at
present. From 3D visualization of malls, commercial complexes,
planetariums to resorts, helping archaeologists find lost cities and
monuments through virtual walkthroughs, the global $60 billion industry
will now offer India architects big opportunities.
This could mean more coming India’s way beyond call centers and the new
buzzword KPO. At the moment, there’s more architecture design
development being outsourced to India as opposed to straightforward
detailing and construction documentation.
Yet, industry observers feel the real potential is a lot more. According
to Graham, engineering services preparation that builds in the
quantities and specifications for the structure – are all being
outsourced to India. “There are a whole series of components in the
process that can still be outsourced just beyond the drawings", he says.
“You may even find centres set up here to address different needs like
this."
Observers also say that five years ago, there were only 40 out sourcing
firms globally. The number has now risen close to 750. India alone
accounts for more than 100 big and small companies in the sphere.
Industry estimates that design and architecture outsourcing could add
thousands of new jobs in the next few years. “From a shop of three
architects, we are now a company of over 30 people in just over a year,"
says 3Dcities India managing partner Shaj, an India-based firm that has
executed projects ranging from the Oxford University in the UK to
sprawling commercial complexes and residential projects in the US,UK &
EU. (
