CHARLOTTE, NC – January 27, 2009 – BLUERIDGE Analytics®, provider of patented land development software that delivers cost-optimized preliminary site designs and estimates, today announced that McIntosh & Associates, a U.S. diversified civil engineering consulting firm based in California, is proud to join the elite list of SITEOPS Certified Providers.

SITEOPS Certified Providers are civil engineering firms that have created “SITEOPS Certified Centers of Excellence” with at least five individuals certified in SITEOPS. Certification distinguishes engineers who have mastered conceptual site design and what-if analysis using SITEOPS. They are skilled in information delivery and presentation using this collaborative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) system.

“McIntosh & Associates is dedicated to providing their clients with the best engineering technology possible,” says BLUERIDGE Analytics President/CEO Mike Detwiler. “By mastering SITEOPS, they have expanded the wide range of services they offer to their land development clients and can produce more cost effective options in much less time.”

SITEOPS is “CAD with a Brain™,” revolutionary technology that can automatically generate line work for a conceptual site plan using sophisticated algorithms. The SITEOPS 3D auto-draw tool creates site layouts, grading plans, storm water drainage designs, and related cost estimates in minutes to hours. SITEOPS users are saving an average of $15,000 per acre in site costs. Engineering firms skilled in SITEOPS can produce dozens of preliminary plans for a single site, along with cost estimates, in less than a week. This tool enables firms to give clients significantly more information and options at the start of a project, a critical time for key financial decisions that can mean the edge in a tightening construction market.

“We are intensely focused on the individual needs of our clients,” says Roger McIntosh, Principal of McIntosh & Associates. “SITEOPS gives us a powerful tool to discover project savings options never before economically feasible. The client is the winner.”
