Eliminating architectural barriers: the integrated system that allows you to plan and manage interventions in the best possible way<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Does your project involve having to eliminate architectural barriers (ramps, lifts, toilets, etc.)? Are you looking for a tool that allows you to manage all the necessary operations in the best possible way?<\/p>\n

In this article I will provide you with some useful information on how to manage your project for eliminating architectural barriers, using a free online platform that\u00a0 simplifies your work<\/a> and helps you planning interventions.<\/p>\n

Collaborative project to remove architectural barriers<\/h2>\n

Working on a project for eliminating architectural barriers is a collaborative process as it combines several disciplines involving various professionals. This way of working necessarily entails exchanging files and information, organising tasks and managing communication within the team.<\/p>\n

As team collaboration software is on the rise, there are digital platforms like usBIM<\/a> that facilitate processes of collaboration, communication and coordination, while helping professionals to identify interferences between the various models (architectural and structural, for example) and control all the choices made by the team.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the steps involved and what features these tools should have in order to make teamwork easy and efficient, without wasting time and minimising the possibility of error.<\/p>\n

Step 1: The architectural plan<\/h3>\n

The first thing to do is to draw up an architectural plan of the works that you have identified: check its feasibility according to the client’s needs, comply with current legislation, assess the available space, etc.<\/p>\n

\"Removing

Furthermore, you can download my design plans for free<\/a> and use them as a refernce for your project. Specifically, you can use the 3D models of a ramp and a lift projects together with the project for removing architectural barriers in a residential building (bathroom, kitchen, etc.).<\/p>\n

\"architectural

Step 2: Structural and MEP design<\/h3>\n

The second step consists in drawing up the structural and MEP design of the project. In this case, designers will have to start from the architectural model and properly position the structural elements (with relative calculations) and the technical installation systems.<\/p>\n

\"lift

At this stage, all data, project drawings and information are exchanged among the designers involved.<\/p>\n

To better manage this type of work, we suggest you using an integrated system of applications online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With usBIM, simply upload your architectural project file to a folder in the usBIM cloud and immediately start collaborating with your entire team.<\/p>\n

You can work online, simultaneously and in real time on the same file, exchange feedback and guidance using the integrated chat service (usBIM.chat<\/a>), start video conferences with usBIM.meet<\/a>, view, share and manage large projects with any device (PC, tablet, smartphone) and anywhere, view and manage BIM files created with other software and much more.<\/p>\n

All these features will help you save time and improve workflow and quality. All you need is an internet connection.<\/p>\n

Let’s now take a closer look at a practical example.<\/p>\n

Imagine a rather ordinary scenario: after you have completed the architectural part of the project \u00a0eliminating the architectural barriers that includes an access ramp to the entrance hall and a lift, now you need to transfer the 3D model to the structural engineer for calculations and seismic approvals.<\/p>\n

Let’s move on seeing how to manage all project activities using the free applications within the usBIM integrated system.<\/p>\n
