Framers use hammers, painters use brushes and masons use trowels. It’s a fact of life: for each job in construction, there’s a tool for the work. Designers are no different.

 

In the Design Resources category of Design Tools, Blue Collar Labs explores the technology products that are helping construction companies (and their design leads) stay up-to-date with the latest design-related information, resources and tools.

 

The 2 sub-categories of Design Resources include:

1. Design Calculators: Tools that help architects and engineers perform design-related calculations;

2. Design Files (BIM/CAD): BIM or CAD files available for download that are used with design and modeling software.
