SOFTWARE AutoCad, by Autodesk is used both as a drafting tool and a design program utilizing the capabilities of three dimensional modeling. Adobe, a PDF editor that interfaces with AutoCad, is used to print drawings in a digital format. Through the use of Adobe we also create digital documents such as invoices, letters and other presentations. We use Bluebeam as a “graphic markup” tool to aid in electronic communication. Specifications are generated in Corel WordPerfect, or Microsoft Word, utilizing the Master Spec format. This provides an industry standard base and maximum flexibility. Estimating is done utilizing Excel or Quatro Pro spreadsheet production software and other technology for architects.
