Capability
The software our engineers work in.
Outsourced design only works if the output lands in your workflow without translation. These are the platforms our team works in every day — and where you already have a standard, we work in yours.
All licences commercially held and maintained.
How we work with your stack
We work in your CAD standard, not ours.
Send your template, layer list, title block and plot styles and the output is indistinguishable from work produced in-house. Where you have a published CAD standards document, we follow it.
We work in your environment where you have one.
If you run Autodesk Construction Cloud, SharePoint, Egnyte or Procore, we work inside it. Version control stays in one place and file transfer disappears entirely.
We deliver in native and neutral formats.
Every package ships in both the working file format and a review format — DWG and PDF, RVT and IFC, XLSX and CSV, native GIS and shapefile or KMZ. You never receive a deliverable you can only open with the software we happen to use.
Where you use something we don't, we'll say so.
If a project needs a platform outside this list, we'll tell you at scoping rather than after. Sometimes the answer is that we're not the right team for that piece.
