Why Small Architecture Firms Need BIM to Boost Competitiveness and Quality

In the competitive world of architecture, small and medium-sized firms often feel pressured to keep up with larger competitors. Many mistakenly believe that Building Information Modeling (BIM) is only for big players. But in reality, BIM offers game-changing advantages for small firms too, empowering them to streamline workflows, enhance collaboration, and deliver top-quality projects with […]
Hand Sketching in Architecture: Where Tradition Meets Tech Innovation

Despite advanced digital tools reshaping the industry, hand sketching remains a cornerstone of architectural design. Software like CAD, BIM and 3D modeling has brought unmatched precision, yet the personal, intuitive qualities of a hand-drawn sketch still hold power. Architects rely on sketches to brainstorm, share ideas, and bring a uniquely human touch that digital models […]
Generative AI in Architecture: Unlocking Creativity and Efficiency

The combination of AI and BIM is changing the game for architects and engineers. With generative AI, design becomes faster, more efficient and more creative. Architects can input specific parameters—such as design goals, constraints and preferences—and the AI generates thousands of design iterations in a fraction of the time. This opens up a whole new […]
Redlines: The Backbone of Successful Project Execution

At Smart Knock, details are everything. Redlining isn’t just about catching errors—it’s a crucial process that refines each design, ensuring precision and quality. When a design shifts from concept to construction, it undergoes several revisions, each noted by redlines. These redlines, created either by hand or digitally (like using BlueBeam’s revcloud), highlight the adjustments needed […]
