2. Building Planning With All The Vastu Compliance

Here we discuss some really helpful Vastu Shastra tips one should be aware of while building a new home:

Direction of Bedroom: Bedroom, playing the host to your much needed rest, should be setup according to the directions discussed in Vastu Shastra so as to bring peace and serenity in your life.  The bedroom should be located either in the South West or in the West direction, as per Vastu Shastra. The ideal location of the entrance is in the North or East Direction.
Ideal Sleeping Position:
According to Vastu Shastra, one must always sleep with head towards the South and legs stretching north. This helps individual to have a sound and peaceful sleep. Sleeping with the head in the East direction is most effective as the east direction is the power-house for all positive energy.
Prayer Hall:
While arranging the prayer hall, always keep the idols of deities in the Eastern direction, so that while worshipping, you are facing the east direction. Also, Vastu Shastra prohibits one to build prayer room under the staircase as it is considered inauspicious.
Ideal Location to place Tulsi plant:
Tulsi, one of the most significant medicinal herb, is also worshipped in Hindu homes. Tulsi, with its fragrance and healing power, adds positive energies to the ambience. It is considered auspicious to have a Tulsi plant in front of your house. It wards off negative influences from your house. The ideal place is East.
Kitchen:
The kitchen, according to the Vastu Shastra, should be located in the North-Eastern direction of the house. Careful planning should be done so that the kitchen is not located above pooja room, bedroom or toilet.
Ideal place for Bathroom:
Vastu Shastra suggests to not build the Bathroom in any of the corners of the house. For a house to be Vastu Shastra compliant, the bathroom should be located in the eastern part of the house. Moreover, build the toilet in the western or north western part of the house.
Well:
Vastu Shastra recommends digging a well to build a new house. Also, it is auspicious to use well water for construction of the house. The well should be round in shape with ample exposure to sunlight. The Vastu rule suggests building a well in the north or north eastern side of the house.
Ideal place for Stairs:
Vastu Shastra suggests building stairs in the West/South direction as it will block all the negative energy coming in the house. When the stairs are built, it should always rise from the East direction to land on West or start from North to land on South. One should avoid building a staircase in the northeast direction and the centre of the house.
Placing Lamps in the correct direction:
Vastu Shastra believes placing an oil lamp in the eastern direction wards off all the negative energies. However, avoid placing the lamp in the southern direction. Also, never lit a lamp with one wick only. Where to plant trees: Plant trees in south or west and they shouldn’t be too close to the house. Avoid contact with branches of trees with that of the house. Moreover, avoid planting creepers as it will use house walls for support.

3. Architecture 3D Animation Model

How We Create 3D Video Animations for Real Estate Professionals 
The process to creating a stunning 3D animation for the real estate industry has multiple steps that require both the client and visualization company working together the entire time.
1: Story
This stage starts with a conversation and storyboard session. We listen to your story and incorporate the key points that you are describing. We then sketch out each scene by hand so we can quickly confirm we are on the right path. Once the storyboard is approved, our team of visualization designers begin to build the 3D environment and apply materials throughout the scenes.
2: Modeling
After the story is approved, we model the scenes we both agreed to showcase. The modeling portion is important to ensure that the base environment is being built accurately to the design and vision of the client. It is important to review screenshots of the model at this stage.
3: Materials
This is when our clients start to seeing the final product come together. The purpose of this phase is to confirm the materials and staging we are creating is accurate. Every addition to each scene must go back to the story. Our team begins to map the materials taking into account texture, shadow, bump, and lighting.
4. Rough Cut
A rough cut is a feature length video in a 3D computer wireframe, as shown above. This is an efficient way to showcase camera movements and overall path through the environment. Accompanying the rough cut is a photorealistic rendering of that scene to confirm all the materials and staging were inserted correctly. We can still make minor modifications to the scene without losing too much time

This phase will not have any textures applied to the surfaces. It is only for confirming the movement through the environment or around the objects. After the 3D mock animation has been completed and approved, we cannot go back and change the camera placement without additional cost.
5. Rendering
Our in-house rendering farm helps our renderings come out at lightning speed. This doesn’t change the price we charge clients, but it allows us to view our visuals quicker and make minor adjustments, so the finals look that much better. We have to render out our scenes individually, which means we will not send through an entire 1 minute animation. We may send it through in 8 second increments. This gives us more flexibility during video editing.
6. Post-Production
After the 3D clips are completed rendering, we add in final text, music, and voiceover if requested.
3D animations get the conversation started, but architectural animations show the specific details that one would expect in a finished building. The ability to create custom 3D environments allows us to model those details in a fast and high-quality fashion. So in the end, you are experiencing a to-scale digital model of the project exactly per the architectural drawings.

4. Structural Analysis & Design Model

Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components. Structures subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as buildings, bridges, aircraft and ships. Structural analysis employs the fields of applied mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to compute a structure’s deformations, internal forces, stresses, support reactions, accelerations, and stability. The results of the analysis are used to verify a structure’s fitness for use, often precluding physical tests. Structural analysis is thus a key part of the engineering design of structures.

6. Investment vs Return Comparison

Return on investment – sometimes called the rate of return (ROR) – is the percentage increase or decrease in an investment over a set period. It is calculated by taking the difference between the current or expected value and the original value divided by the original value and multiplied by 100.

For example, suppose an investment was initially made at $200 and is now worth $300. The ROI for this investment is 50% [((300 – 200) / 200) * 100].
This calculation works for any period, but there is a risk in evaluating long-term investment returns with ROI—an ROI of 80% sounds impressive for a five-year investment but less impressive for a 35-year investment.

7. Measurement Of Work

Work measurement is the process of establishing the time that a given task would take when performed by a qualified worker working at a defined level of performance.
There are various ways in which work may be measured and a variety of techniques have been established. The basic procedure, irrespective of the particular
measurement technique being used, consists of three stages ;

  • an analysis phase in which the job is divided into convenient, discrete components, commonly known as elements
  • a measurement phase in which the specific measurement technique is used to establish the time required (by a qualified worker working at a defined level of performance) to complete each element of work
  • a synthesis phase in which the various elemental times are added, together with appropriate allowances (see below), to construct the standard time for the complete job.

8. Proper Site Scheduling & Management

Scheduling in project management is the listing of activities, deliverables, and milestones within a project. A schedule also usually includes a planned start and finish date, duration, and resources assigned to each activity. Effective project scheduling is a critical component of successful time management.
When people discuss the processes for building a schedule, they are usually referring to the first six processes of time management:

  1. Plan schedule management
  2. Define project activities
  3. Sequence activities
  4. Estimate resources
  5. Estimate durations
  6. Develop the project schedule
