Unlike other applications which promise an integrated approach to plumbing and heating design, DDS-CAD truly delivers. Integrated calculations for building heat load, full pipe sizing and pressure loss calculation including valve settings, pipe system sizing and a highly configurable bill of quantity which is an efficient single-click process. All integrated calculations deliver clear, comprehensive and editable printed output of the design and results, which is essential for professional organisations. When we say DDS-CAD is a design and documentation solution, we really mean it!

Reduce errors and virtually eliminate time and budget consuming design failures with DDS-CAD's integrated, multi-disciplinary collision detection. Since you are working with a full intelligent 3D model, many automatic functions, such as dimensioning, quantity calculation, heating requirement and pressure loss calculation, 2D, 3D and cross-section drawings, clash detection offer you productive and efficient tools with which costly mistakes and misunderstandings are greatly reduced.

Comprehensive Project Documentation
With DDS-CAD you can create both 2D drawings and 3D visualisations, schematic pipe diagrams, equipment schedules, quantities and a host of project management documents such as revision lists, drawing lists and distribution lists, directly from the program.

Intelligent layer grouping allows you to create multiple, discipline specific drawings from the model, for example heating systems, sewage and domestic water services. A change to the project can affect many of these drawings; with DDS-CAD you make the change once, and all the documentation can be re-created without having to alter many separate drawings.

Low Hardware Requirements
Some building services applications will not run on anything but the most powerful PC's and need gigabytes of memory. DDS-CAD will run comfortably on standard office PC with Windows operating system installed.
