How Architecture, Engineering, And Construction Can Improve Quality Through Reliability

Rock solid accuracy and quality are essential for any business to convey its plans and ideas because our world is always changing. But what kind of world will replace the one we used to know? Let’s work towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and secure one: a higher quality world.

Quality is a paradox in business–it’s a notion that everyone understands but few can adequately define. But it’s the idea that pervades the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector because quality buildings not only last, but also leave a legacy.

And a legacy building is the best possible publicity for your career and your firm–a testament to your ideas and dedication.

In 2018, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) suggested that a ‘golden thread’ should flow from designs to consultants to contractors to increase overall quality and safety, in the sector.

Such a move will increase the chances of buildings being completed on time and on budget, with reduced wastage and fewer defects. This is an ambition of every firm–to produce quality more reliably.

These successful and lasting projects will be the gold standard that businesses like yours want to work on because they will carry a powerful legacy for the firms involved and for the careers of those working on them.

According to the RIBA report,construction projects today need three things to endure–build, function, and impact. But even that is too narrow a definition–to achieve great work it’s essential to embed the right information at every stage of the project–to harness data effectively. This can be a problem if you cannot print and understand plans effectively and without error. Mistakes cost time, money, and prestige.

When sharing or appraising documents, effective review is a crucial consideration and of particular concern because it is where errors and misunderstandings can take place and feed into final plans. Printed plans that synchronize seamlessly with modern Building


Information Modelling (BIM) software are one way to be certain that the designs translate accurately and effectively on the ground and on site.

Make sure every member of your team, and significant stakeholders, can see every detail. Print reduces errors and mistakes because plans, drawings, and renderings can be produced and read quickly, easily, and in vibrant quality and in a large format.


HP large format plotters give
31%
more line accuracy.
65%
more color representation (gamut) than competitors for unparalleled accuracy, while synchronizing with modern BIM software.

All architects, engineers, and contractors are instrumental in rede­signing and rebuilding the schools, hospitals, homes, offices, and public spaces we need for a more sustainable and equitable world.

HP plotters are an essential part of this journey, designed for quality, so you can design, print, make changes, and upload those changes easily.
