An idea that would take sometimes 60 hours to complete, we would do that same design in 4 hours and show that back to our client

–Wayne Dunkelberger, Chief Design Officer, Baker Barrios Architects

“When it came to Forma Site Design, the fact that we could bring in other tools, whether it was Revit or Civil 3D, but also Rhino and SketchUp as well, and bring them all together in one place, it’s more than just connecting the tools – it’s connecting people and connecting data together.”

–Gary Furphy, Director of digital engineering Jacobs, Middle East

“There was downtime previously when different software we used were not connected and we had to remodel everything–so by avoiding that rework with the Forma Site Design and Revit connection, this helps us to save 1-2 days on average.”

Andrew Shields, Managing principal at Scott Shields Architects.
