Challenges of industrial design in construction

When it comes to the construction of commercial estate, price negotiation, hard bid, contracting and risk factors are not the only things to be taken in consideration. Industrial design is also an important factor that has to be dealt with seriously. All other factors other than the design depend on the type of project, but the terms for design is similar for all industrial constructions. 

When we talk about industrial design, things become more complex. This is because in contrast to this term, it is less related to the design and more associated with finance and legal issues. If not directly, design overlaps and interrelates financial matters and legal matters. If commercial estate construction is compared with residential domain, laws are really much stricter. 

This is important that architecture engineers act carefully while constructing industrial design and create one that fit into the legal frames. In case, it doesn’t fit into legal framework, it would not be possible to execute. To ensure that the design plan follows set regulations, architecture engineers must be aware of them. This might include, government regulations for using property, obligations to be employed, zoning and building code requirement.

Laws for industrial design are not set to burden engineers or owners, but to allow them have a property that will benefit all – owner and the people around. Many cases of projects failures are recorded every year. Many buildings either collapse before its age or have to be destroyed in different means that obviously is the loss of property owner. Therefore, it should be our self-obligation and not a duty to follow these laws.
