The decision to introduce it 15 years ago was correct! DRA-CAD is a partner in design work.
Kataoka Design Co., Ltd. is an architectural design office established in 1982. Their design projects primarily focus on single-family homes, but they also handle multi-family residences, stores, factories, offices, and hot spring inns, covering a wide area across the Kanto region. "When I became independent, I strongly felt that the future of design was in the CAD era, so I introduced computers and CAD software. After consulting with industry professionals and visiting various places to decide which CAD to use, I chose DRA-CAD, which had been adopted by major design firms and general contractors, had a large user base, and was highly regarded for its ease of use. Since it was my first experience with computers, I took foundational courses to learn, but DRA-CAD's operation felt very close to hand-drawing, which was a great help. I started using CAD at the age of 45 after purchasing a computer, and even after turning 60, I am still actively drawing plans, which makes me feel that my way of thinking and my choice of DRA-CAD were indeed the right decisions."
