Hi everyone! My name is David Settlemyer, PE and I’ve been invited to be part of this group. My posts will mainly focus on issues around SITEOPS software. I joined the SITEOPS team around two years ago, after seeing the software in action. To my joy I found out that the headquarters was mere miles from where I was working.  As an engineer in the business for the last 18 years, doing everything from being a company owner to working for a national developer, I was pleased to see a software dedicated to helping solve the risk and pain in land development for engineers and land developers.

As civil engineering technology requirements expand and evolve, so does the software needed to support this growth. Today’s design tools are getting smarter and helping us as engineers to be more creative.

I wanted to share some recent articles with you that explain why SITEOPS is getting so much attention in such a short time. In the latest CE News, Bob Drake writes about the future of design software, as seen by some of the leading software companies.  In this week’s ENR, Tom Sawyer talks about how Little Diversified (based in Charlotte, NC) was able to use SITEOPS to save Siemens about $100,000 in site cost, and to help them identify optimal placement for a building.  These are the kind of results that users of SITEOPS see every day and why they are winning projects.  If you would like to read these articles, I have attached shortlinks below.
