Shiraz Ansari, Ceo, Grid Design Solutions
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries have long sought techniques to decrease project cost, increase productivity and quality, and reduce project delivery time. Enlightened companies in the industry are moving towards collaborative working practices, where all design team members are engaged at an earlier stage in the design process, aided by building information modeling (BIM) tools. BIM represents a new paradigm within AEC, one that encourages the integration of the roles of all stakeholders on a project. It has the potential to bring about great efficiency as well as harmony among players who all too often in the past saw themselves as adversaries. One of India’s leading Structural Design, Structural Drafting, and Architectural Design solution provider, Grid Design Solutions offers expert service in Structural engineering and Building Design. It is a certified engineering consultancy expertise in structural, architectural, and BIM services.
The company was founded in 2007 to provide distinctive, high-quality solutions to its clients. Over the past five years GDS has stepped up its strategy by integrating the drafting and design process to a 3D model conversion. Since its inception, it has been catering to the requirements of a variety of customers ranging from Construction companies, General Contractors, Structural and Architectural firms around the globe.

GDS has already set a benchmark in the industry known for its unsurpassed excellence in Structural Drawing Services; perhaps it is one among the innovators in the field. Focusing more on sustainable solutions for a better tomorrow, the company strives to go green in every project that it undertakes. The efficient use of sophisticated software like BIM Modeling Software, AutoCAD add-ins, and Revit add-ins allow GDS to intelligently integrate the Architecture and Engineering teams to maximize the cost efficiency of projects without comprising on the design standards. So far, GDS has engaged in several projects including Metro-rail projects in Chennai, Delhi, Doha, Singapore, Riyadh, and Qatar.
