Providing design assistance to Heavy Civil Engineers and Contractors.

If you are a contractor or engineer who needs assistance getting your projects designed and built, then we can help. We provide Engineers and General Engineering Contractors with Construction Visualization Integration (CVI) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) services with 2D, 3D, and 4D design assistance for Large Heavy Civil Construction projects. We pride ourselves on our highly customized design software which has been tailored towards Heavy Civil Construction.  This allows us to work in a more efficient and effective manner.  We have purposely pursued a market niche that sets us apart from our competition providing a much needed service; good construction design aimed towards the Heavy Civil Engineer and Contractor, delivered on time and at a cost that can’t be beat if done in house.

Our office provides design services that go beyond the traditional 2D drawing on paper methods.   Yes, we still provide 2D working drawings, but we also use an integrated Building Information Model, or BIM, to provide a “Virtual Construction” service.   This allows us to build your project before the construction phase, allowing us to identify conflicts and errors and discover better ways to build the project before the work begins.  Using BIM also allows us to collaborate and coordinate with other consultants, trades and disciplines, and allows us to get the design drawings completed faster and with no errors.

Using an intelligent 3D model to plan construction phase activities has several advantages over traditional approaches.  Plans and uniformed spreadsheets not only take longer to produce but expose the opportunity for errors and misinterpretation.  A model based approach can support such activities as creating virtual mockups, planning for site safety, and work staging.

Advanced visualization based on accurate modeling techniques can detect potential design conflicts before they can adversely affect the on-site team.  Such discrepancies are usually remedied by the modeler and reflected in the lift drawings for little or no cost.  If such questions occur in the field during the installation of the formwork or during a concrete pour, the cost in lost time would be substantial and would more than likely cause a much greater expense.
