As an organization with contributing members on the National CAD Standard (NCS) Committee, SMACNA is committed to improving electronic communication between members of the architect/engineer/contractor (AEC) community, and the overall quality of construction.
The “SMACNA CAD Standard,” second edition, 2001, articulates in greater detail the CAD standards that will enable SMACNA Contractors, and other members of the AEC community to apply CAD effectively to mechanical, fire protection, and plumbing design and construction.
Additionally, the CAD Project Protocol and checklist included as appendices help contractors work in greater harmony with all members of the construction project team and avoid some of the pitfalls that can surprise even the experienced CAD user.
