Software & Standards Implementation

Autodesk Gold PartnerDeveloper NetworkBuilding Architecture

Most CAD problems are process problems. The software works; the issue is that every user has a different setup, standards are informal or unenforced, and nobody has time to fix it mid-project.

We work with engineering and architecture firms on every layer of the problem: hardware and network configuration, software deployment, CAD standard development, workflow design, and staff training. We understand how these pieces interact because we work in all of them; we're not just IT, and we're not just trainers.

We've resolved thousands of technical issues across hundreds of client engagements. When a problem can't be solved off the shelf, we find a workaround and report it upstream to Autodesk. Here's what that looks like in practice:

CAD Standards and Document Management: We establish written CAD standards, layer conventions, and file-naming structures, then build a document management plan your team will actually use.

Project Workflow and Procedures: We map your current process, identify the bottlenecks, and design workflows with quality checkpoints built in, not bolted on afterward.

Software Deployment & Configuration: We deploy, configure, and profile Autodesk software across your workstations so every seat is set up the same way from day one.

Curriculum Development: We write training materials around your standards, your templates, and your project types, not generic exercises from a textbook.

Project Management and Consulting: We can serve as embedded project managers, technical leads, or consultants: on-site or remote, for a single project or an ongoing engagement.

Ongoing Project Support: We stay available through the life of a project, not just the kickoff. When a problem surfaces mid-deadline, you have someone to call.

Software Update Training & Technical Support: When Autodesk ships a major update, we help your team understand what changed and what it breaks, before it causes problems in production.

Administrative Support: License management, seat assignments, and asset tracking: we handle the administrative overhead so your IT and project staff don't have to.

CAD Standards Manager

We develop and support CAD Standards Manager, software that deploys and enforces your layer names, linetypes, text styles, and plot settings across every seat in your office. Push updates to all users instantly, with no manual file distribution. Available in User and Admin Module editions for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and related Autodesk products.

Success stories

Real projects we've delivered with this service.

Civil Engineering

Design-tool standardization & efficiency for 400+ staff

BKF

Challenge: BKF has more than 400 staff using Autodesk software with Civil 3D at the core. Skills and practices varied widely across teams — Civil 3D best practices, peripheral tools (InfraWorks, Vehicle Tracking, Raster Design), and customizations — creating duplicated effort and inconsistent results.

What we did: We standardized their design tools and workflows — Civil 3D best practices, peripheral software, custom programming, and templates — to improve information sharing and produce consistent results more efficiently.

Water, Wastewater & Process

BIM implementation & a custom tool for water/wastewater

Parametrix

Challenge: Parametrix wanted to deliver data-rich BIM models for their water, wastewater, and process projects — communicating design intent clearly with accessible 3D models at every stage. That meant implementing Autodesk Revit, with training and support.

What we did: We implemented Revit for their BIM deliverables, built a custom tool to fit their workflow, and provided the training and support to make it stick.
