Land Development East
Posted by Tess Gadwa
Just got back from this year's Land Development East conference in Atlanta. What a great event! It was really helpful to interact with our end-user community and hear their questions, as well as their frustrations with the existing technology and accompanying land design process.
The room was packed when Steve Thomas and Steve Narducci of MESH Consulting gave a presentation on their experiences with SITEOPS. You could hear the "oohs" and "aaahs" when the demo started redrawing the parking spaces. We had a lot of traffic at the booth, too.
The folks at Zweig-White put together a good program. I would definitely recommend their events to anyone in the land development/planning/civil engineering community.

Can we talk about savings?

Just wanted to share a few recent SITEOPS optimization results:
Just wanted to share a few recent SITEOPS optimization results:
- Eliminated a $1.25 million underground basin on a $3-4 million retail project
- $800,000 grading savings on a 35-acre retail site
- $60,000 savings from moving driveway and building on an institutional site <>
- $120,000 sitework cost savings by moving food store location slightly
- Caught $600,000 paving error
- $ 2.9 million savings on a 210-acre site, from changing the Finished Floor Elevation from 892 to 890
People grasp right way how SITEOPS will save them time. What's interesting is how often the non-obvious changes save real money, too. Whether it's moving the layout a few hundred feet or determining the optimal Finished Floor Elevation for grading, optimization examines design possibilities that human beings may not ordinarily think of. The time required to explore those extra options would have been prohibitive--until now.
