Prevention of Disaster in Buildings #006

Prevention of Disasters in Buildings is very important

Prevention of Disasters in Buildings is very important. As humans, we cannot control natural disasters but efforts can be made to reduce the damage caused due to natural disasters, Individuals need to make an effort for their safety. It requires caution & awareness, for which the governments also run campaigns from time to time.

Often all of you must have seen and heard that fires due to a short-circuit in the building, cracks in the building, building collapses in the rain, building collapses suddenly, etc., why does this happen? Whenever such an accident happens, there is noise, the news is made, and an investigation is done but still, people are victims of accidents. Why does this happen again and again?

When there is a provision for building bylaws to avoid this, It seems that either the building bylaws are completely ignored at the time of construction or it is unnecessary to follow the building bylaws.

The criteria for building bylaws are also different at the time of building construction. When a person constructs a building for himself, then all the building bylaws are completely followed, but when a person constructs a building for others (business), then all the rules are not followed. Because there is pressure on the builder to construct the building at a low cost, the pressure to sell the building at a low cost, and the pressure to find people who can buy the building at a low cost, and in the end profit margin also matters.

In such a situation, the person gets caught in the temptation given by the builder and buys the building. He forgets to take the structural stability certificate, no objection certificate, and completion certificate of the building. Sometimes he relies on the builder’s tempting verbal conversations which are nowhere to be found in any written document. Prevention of Disasters in Buildings is very important.

We did not mention anything new; this is to make you aware that the safety of a building is also important. And to prevent any mishap avoid taking any such step and follow your Architect’s instructions.

Why Design Consultant Architect? #016

  The architect renders his services by making the building’s design and drawings and, based on that, helping you with the on-site execution. But when architects start their services with Architectural, Interior, Structural, MEP, Lifestyle Design and drawings with coordination, project estimation and Costing, Product and material management with Research Work, etc., then the architect is called an architect design consultant. The Design Consultant must deeply understand all the services and experience in Design Co-ordination. Coordination with the on-site construction team is also part of the design consultant’s service. It all depends on following the instructions given by the Design Consultant. When an architect starts providing his services with an architectural design consultancy, then his responsibility becomes even more. Then he is also a Business Consultant with a Design Consultant, which is a huge responsibility. This directly benefits the Patron (client). When a patron ...

Inquiry by a potential patron on call #023

  Inquiry by potential patron (client) on call On a phone call, people make inquiries in various ways like 1. I want to make a naksha (popular but wrong way) 2. I want to make 3D (wrong) 3. I want to make a map (popular but wrong way) 4. I want to make a drawing (little right way) 5. I want to make a design (the right way) etc. etc. etc The word Naksha, or Map, is used to map the world, country, region, city, village, etc. Since it has been used in our colloquial language since independence, we use these words anywhere at our convenience. The word used in or for a building is design or drawing. When someone asks on a phone call, how much money will it take to get a map made? We understand that some less educated people are familiar with the word engineer but not with the word architect. Today a call came from a person, who was describing himself as a retired government officer and a well-educated person. He introduced himself and then explained the reason for calling. He sai...

Often the clients' budgets and requirements do not match, forcing them to compromise on their dreams in the name of modernity. Practicing professional architects understand your feelings very well. They know your hesitation very well, so architects collect your project budget and project details before the project starts. Complete project information with approx. budget ensures that your dream project will be completed simultaneously or in phases. The decision of which depends on the budget of the client.
