Chapter -1 Introduction to Company

1.1 GENERAL
Steel Build is a consulting company founded in 2018 by group of engineers who have strong
academic background with decades of management experience while working in companies
all across the globe.
Steel Build is a pioneer organization to fulfil the current generation needs of students and
companies. Company offers engineering and management consultancy services for
infrastructure projects.
Substantial technological advances, modern engineering approach, improved building codes
and standards, and computer aided programming modules allow engineers to assess, define and
engineer to prolong an existing structure’s lifespan through retrofitting.
A major part of the project planning activity is to produce a qualitative and quantitative analysis
of the proposed undertaking. For any projects, or projects of keen interest and heavy
investment, developers seek professional opinions on the numerous costs involved, material
indents, scope of work, etc. These analyses are then used to determine the tender amounts
through which the various constriction and execution activities would be contracted to the
respective agencies.
Working with budget-minded clients, we perform Value Engineering on our own projects at
each major design milestone, constantly thinking of ways to reduce cost while achieving the
project goals.

Chapter -2 Introduction to AutoCAD

Figure.1 AutoCAD symbol.

AutoCAD is a commercial software application for 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design

(CAD) and drafting available since 1982 as a Desktop application and since 2010 as a mobile
web and cloud based App marketed as AutoCAD 360. Developed and marketed by AutoCAD
was first released in December 1982, running on micro computer with internal graphics
controllers. Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, most commercial CAD programs ran
mainframe computer minicomputers with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate
graphics terminal.
AutoCAD is used across a wide range of industries by architects, project manager,
engineers, designers and other professionals. It is supported by 750 training canters worldwide
as of in 1994. As Autodesk’s flagship product, by March 1986 AutoCAD is Become the most
ubiquitous CAD program worldwide. As of 2014, AutoCAD is in its twenty-ninth generation,
and collectively with all its variants, continues to be the most widely used CAD program a
throughout most of the world.
AutoCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide. The 2022 release
marked the 36th major release of AutoCAD for Windows and the 12th consecutive year of
AutoCAD for Mac. Autodesk has developed a few vertical programs:

• AutoCAD Architecture

• Low wastage in drawing.
• Minimized transcription errors in drawing.
• Improved accuracy of drawing.
• Assistance in preparation of documentation.
• Better designs can be evolved.
• Revisions are possible.
• Colures can be used to customize the product.
• Hatching of all sections with different filling patterns.
• Preparation of assembly or sub-assembly drawings.
• Preparation of part list.
• Machining and tolerance symbols at the required surfaces.
• Hydraulic and pneumatic circuit diagrams with symbols.

• Isometric views.
• Production of orthographic projections with dimensions and tolerances.

2.3 Auto CAD windows

They 2D and 3D drawings are created on the given screen. The display contains all the tools
and icons which make the process to create any drawing. There are particular short cuts for
icons. The drafting is a technology for the design, which replaced the manual drafting with the
automated process. Some of the icons are different on the 3D display than the 2Ddisplay. The
icons of Auto CAD are present on the Ribbon Panel and the Status bar. The display of
AutoCAD 2D is shown in the image below.

Chapter-3 Methodology and Commands

3.1 Methodology
The methodology for planning a residential building using AutoCAD involves a systematic
approach to creating accurate and detailed drawings. Here’s a step-by-step methodology:
1. Preliminary Planning
• Project Requirements: Gather and define the requirements and objectives for the
residential building, including client needs, site conditions, and regulatory constraints.

• Site Analysis: Conduct a thorough analysis of the site, including

topography, existing structures, and local zoning regulations.
2. Conceptual Design
• Initial Sketches: Create rough sketches or conceptual designs to outline the basic
layout and spatial organization of the building.
• Design Criteria: Define key design criteria, such as room sizes, flow, and functional
areas, based on the project requirements.
3. Creating AutoCAD Drawings
• Setup: Start a new project in AutoCAD, setting up the drawing environment with
appropriate units, scales, and layers.
• Site Plan: Draw the site plan, including property boundaries, existing conditions, and
any relevant topographical features.
• Floor Plans: Develop detailed floor plans for each level of the building, including
walls, doors, windows, and room labels.
• Elevations and Sections: Create elevation drawings showing exterior views and
sections to illustrate vertical relationships and internal structure.
• Details: Add detailed drawings for specific architectural elements, such as staircases,
door frames, and window details.
4. Design Review and Refinement
• Internal Review: Conduct internal reviews of the drawings to check for accuracy and
completeness.
• Client Feedback: Present the drawings to the client for feedback and make necessary
revisions based on their input.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that the design complies with local building codes
and zoning regulations, making adjustments as needed.

 GROUP ID: 598416 [PLANNING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING USING AUTOCAD]

5. Finalization and Documentation

• Finalize Drawings: Make final adjustments to the drawings based on feedback and
regulatory requirements.
• Documentation: Prepare supporting documentation, including schedules, material
lists, and construction notes.
• Export and Printing: Export the AutoCAD drawings to appropriate formats for
submission or printing, ensuring that they are clear and well-organized.
6. Construction Preparation
• Construction Drawings: Create detailed construction drawings and specifications for
use by contractors and builders.
• Coordination: Coordinate with construction teams and other professionals to ensure
the design is understood and implemented correctly.
7. Post-Design Support
• Revisions and Updates: Make any necessary revisions during the construction phase
based on site conditions or client changes.
• As-Built Drawings: Update drawings to reflect any changes made during construction
and produce as-built drawings.

AutoCAD.
7. Ellipse (EL): As the name suggests, this command can be used to make an ellipse with
the major and minor axis.
8. Copy (CO): This command is used to copy object(s) in AutoCAD.
9. Trim (TR): This command is used for trimming a geometry.
10. Scale (SC): This command is used to change the scale of an object.
11. Block (B): This command is used for creating a block; the properties of the block can

13. Test style (ST): Using this command you can open text style window which controls
properties of the default AutoCAD text style.
14. Explode (X): This command can be used to explode objects like Polyline to simple lines,
an array or a block to a simple geometry etc.
15. Fillet (F): This command can be used to add rounded corners to the sharp edges of the
geometry; these round corners are also called fillets.
16. Layer (LA): This command can be used to open layer properties manage palette which
is a tool for creating and managing layers in a drawing.
17. STRETCH (S) : This command will allow you to stretch points of an object. To stretch
points, you will be required to use the “select crossing” window to select the points.
After the points have been selected, move them in the desired direction, and specify a
distance.
18. ERASE(E) : This command will allow you to erase selected objects. The DEL key will
also allow you to delete selected objects.
19. MIRROR(MI): This command will allow you to mirror selected objects. You will be
