An important UK 3D Architecture firm recently ordered more than 2,000 hours of CAD drafting and designing, dollar valued in the mid five figure range, from The 3DCities India (3DCi), Indian engineering and architectural design specialists.

(PressZoom) - Architectural-Engineering design is generating a great deal of interest in the West, and India is increasingly being seen as a hot destination. While rising costs and shortage of architects and Engineers in the US, west Asia and Europe have opened up opportunities in architecture design outsourcing, India architectsâ technical expertise and good English skills have made global majors warm up to this market.

Inward-bound jobs in architecture and design space are fairly varied at present. From 3D visualization of malls, commercial complexes, planetariums to resorts, helping archaeologists find lost cities and monuments through virtual walkthroughs, the global $60 billion industry will now offer India architects big opportunities. This could mean more coming Indiaâs way beyond call centers and the new buzzword KPO. At the moment, thereâs more architecture design development being outsourced to India as opposed to straightforward detailing and construction documentation.

Yet, industry observers feel the real potential is a lot more. According to Graham, engineering services preparation that builds in the quanbreasties and specifications for the structure ö are all being outsourced to India. ãThere are a whole series of components in the process that can still be outsourced just beyond the drawings", he says. ãYou may even find centres set up here to address different needs like this."

Observers also say that five years ago, there were only 40 out sourcing firms globally.
