Swedish Library Furniture Design Knowledge Increased

The furniture drafting specialists who went to Sweden are back. They now have firsthand knowledge of libraries in Sweden and Denmark. They visited around a dozen libraries and studied the furniture layouts in detail, took photographs and took photographs of the counters, shelves, stacks, book display racks and book return kiosks.

An interesting observation was that Swedish library design style is different from  Danish library design style (the exact difference in detail will be the subject of another post). But the important thing is that The Magnum Group can now design library layouts in either style. Our customers can outsource library layout design to us by giving us just summary specifications.

More power to them!

CAD Drafting Services from India Follow Sub Prime Debacle

Did you know that when the housing industry in the US is in a slump, there is a huge backlash felt by architectural drawing providers in India?

We experienced this firsthand two months ago during the sub prime crisis. Several architect customers of ours in the midwest US were down for the count, and therefore there was a large decrease in the demand for AutoCAD drawings of plans, elevations and sections.

Interestingly enough, as soon as the Feds cut the interest rates by five points, we experienced a huge resurgence of construction-related drafting work.

Fortunately we’ve hedged our revenues by also having very large customers in Europe, for whom we do engineering drafting, and it is very rare that Europe and the US experience equally bad (or good) economic conditions simultaneously!

The Magnum Group Goes to Sweden

As I write this, two of our top specialists, R. Kamalthasan and N. Inayathullah Khan, are in Frankfurt airport waiting to connect to Sweden.

We have a wonderful CAD customer in Sweden who sells library furniture ensembles, and he was very particular that the TMG people working on his project come to Sweden to see what the libraries there are like.

This is their first trip overseas, and their minds are going to expand maybe 400%. One can also imagine how bonded to the project and the customer they are going to be. This was also one of the explicit objectives of the customer. If ever there was an outsourcing project made in heaven, this must be it!!!
