Standardization at Scale
A consistent CAD environment was rolled out across multiple project teams rather than a single-site deployment.

Standardizing CAD Design and Documentation for a Leading Construction Company in Oman

Autodesk License Types
AutoCAD for full drafting and design, and AutoCAD LT for cost-efficient 2D drafting.

Standard CAD Platform
Engineering and construction teams now work from a single, industry-standard platform for drafting, design and documentation.
The Challenge
One of the leading construction companies in Oman delivers infrastructure and building projects across the Sultanate, relying on accurate engineering drawings, construction layouts and project documentation to keep work on schedule.
Without a standardized CAD platform, it faced design inconsistencies between engineering and construction teams, coordination challenges when sharing drawings, delays caused by rework and version-control issues, and difficulty maintaining consistent documentation standards across concurrent projects.
As project volumes grew, every project team needed one consistent CAD platform rather than a patchwork of tools and file formats.
The Solution
4i delivered a standardized Autodesk licensing solution built around AutoCAD, for full-featured drafting and design by engineering teams producing detailed construction documentation, and AutoCAD LT, a cost-efficient 2D drafting option for teams that need consistent drawing standards without the full 3D toolset.
Together, the two licenses gave engineering and construction teams a single, industry-standard platform for drafting, design and project documentation.
- AutoCAD for Engineering Teams
- AutoCAD LT for 2D Drafting
- Consistent CAD Standards Across Project Teams
Business Impact
Right-Sized Licensing
AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT were matched to different roles’ actual needs, rather than over-licensing every seat.
Easier Collaboration
Industry-standard drafting tools familiar to Oman’s construction and engineering ecosystem eased onboarding and collaboration with external partners.
COLLABORATION
Improved Design Accuracy
Standardizing on AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT improved design accuracy and streamlined collaboration across project teams.
