siliconindia | | December 20184For thousands of years, the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry has responded to the issues of its day with innovation after innovation. While Architecture industry is more than just selecting a building or a home from a catalogue, its current challenges are centered on saving energy, minimizing operating costs, and improving safety and occupant comfort. For most, architecture is a signifi cant form of investment in terms of time and money with an expectation of serving a design life of over 50 years, at least from a physical perspective. Digital technology adoption in architectural industry being still in its nascent stages, it is only just waking up to the potential of technology. So, for the most part, technology is currently used in its simplest form to complete specifi c repetitive tasks, rather than being applied to the entire architectural design. While digital technology is new and is charting its way into the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry, at the same time it is also transforming the relationships between design and construction - with computer models, CAD/CAM, and prototyping which allows designers the direct control of building and construction processes. Technology is also changing how infrastructure, real estate and other built assets are designed, constructed, operated and maintained. With technology comes quality which brings along the reproducibility of a process, leading to automation, which ultimately can give you a better and higher-quality product. To stay ahead of the competition, the most innovative companies in the industry are adopting digital methods to understand the impact of their design decisions, ranging from site selection to architectural details. With a number of companies contributing towards the rising Architectural Engineering domain, siliconindia magazine has carefully curated a list of `20 Most Promising Architectural Engineering Service Providers - 2018', a unique list of companies which are making appropriate use of technology to address the complex tasks within this domain.
