The design solutions market in the Middle East is expected to rise by 5 per cent in 2009, according to Promedia, a leading systems integrator and part of UAE based Omnix International.

ProMedia has announced that it will be hosting a high impact seminar focusing on the revolutionary Revit and Civil 3D 2009 range of design solutions by Autodesk, the world leader in 2D and 3D design software for the manufacturing, building, and media and entertainment markets.

The seminar, which will be held in Doha on January 26, will also highlight the Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept upon which these revolutionary Autodesk solutions are based.

With Qatar’s economic standing expected to remain stable amidst the global credit crunch, ProMedia aims to leverage the growing demand for robust design applications within the country to support a wide range of projects within the oil and gas, construction, and media sectors.

In line with this, the company has teamed up leading architects, interior designers, structural and MEP consultants to highlight the immediate impact of Revit and Civil 3D 2009 solutions, as well as the BIM concept on Qatar’s architecture and construction industry.

“The entire global business community has shown a strong willingness to make prompt realignments in terms of adopting new systems and technologies, which can help them manage their operations amidst the challenges posed by the present economic situation,” said Jayant M Deshpande, director, CAD Division, Omnix International.

Autodesk solutions are the ideal tools for the current economic condition in the Middle East, with companies struggling to retain manpower and complete projects within the deadline.

Revit solutions keeps information coordinated, up-to-date and accessible in an integrated digital environment, giving project teams a clear overall vision of their designs, the capacity to test and visualise in a digital environment, improve efficiencies, and reduce errors by streamlining the decision-making process.

The Civil 3D software provides project teams with a comprehensive surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution to deliver land development, transportation, and environmental projects faster and with improved accuracy.-TradeArabia News Service
