Ledy Design Contracts Avatech to Supply Autodesk Apps
 BALTIMORE,
MD, Feb 29, 2008 - Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: AVSO.OB), the nationwide
technology experts for design, engineering, and facilities management,
announced today that Ledy Design Group has hired Avatech to help keep their
firm at the forefront of architectural excellence while reducing time and
money throughout the design process. Avatech will generate a detailed
technology roadmap and perform implementation and training services for the
firm.
Licensed in 25 states, Lansing-based Ledy Design Group provides
Architectural, Structural, Civil and Survey services for a diverse range of
construction projects across the U.S. and around the world. Projects include
luxury automobile dealerships, office buildings, manufacturing facilities,
retail centers, and multifamily developments.
“Our company has always leveraged technology to stay out in front, and
today we are making a firm-wide commitment to maintaining industry
leadership through innovative technology planning and implementation,” says
Tom Reder, Principal at Ledy Design Group. “Avatech’s industry expertise
enables us to leapfrog some of our competitors by adopting dynamic 3D
modeling technology and efficient business practices.”
Avatech will implement Autodesk Revit Architecture and Revit Structure
along with AutoCAD Civil 3D applications across the organization’s multiple
disciplines: architectural, structural, civil and survey. The contract also
includes one week of offsite immersion training to ensure that Ledy’s team
is prepared for the dramatic shift in design and business processes. While
ensuring that best-in-class work processes are implemented, Avatech will
make certain that Ledy continues to meet current project deadlines. These
new systems and processes will significantly decrease the time from
conceptual design to construction documentation.
“In our industry, streamlined processes and higher productivity equals
profitability, because we are able to achieve more with fewer or the same
resources,” says Reder. “Implementing this innovative technology will
strengthen our partnerships with other engineering disciplines and
construction companies that demand the same standards. It will also ensure
that we can participate in more projects as owners start to require
information models. The changes we make today will give us a significant
competitive advantage tomorrow.”
“Forward-thinking firms like Ledy Design Group gain the advantages of
speed to completion, as well as higher-quality designs that result in fewer
on-the-ground errors,” says Bruce White, Senior Vice President of Sales at
Avatech. “Combining new technology with focused education enables firms to
rapidly incorporate new processes and standards that optimize the use of
technology.”
