Success Story
Specializing in the successful execution of engineering projects throughout Indiana and across the United States, DES Engineering’s proficient team of Civil and Environmental Engineers is dedicated to achieving excellence. At DES, the focus on solving client's challenges and guiding them through a project step-by-step is top priority. In order to help their clients excel, they need to make sure their staff is well trained and always ready to assist their clients.
DES values are centered on understanding their clients' goals and promptly delivering practical solutions that adhere to all design and regulation requirements. A program that helps facilitate these projects is Autodesk Civil 3D. Autodesk Civil 3D is a comprehensive detailed design and documentation software for civil infrastructure that assists civil engineers in a 3D model-based environment.
To enhance her expertise in the field, Erin Azar, CEO of DES Engineering, sought a training class to expand her knowledge of Autodesk Civil 3D., Stating it was difficult to find a live instructor led class anywhere in the country, she spoke with Topcon Solutions about her options. Topcon Solutions was able to provide her with a live Autodesk Civil 3D class to help facilitate her training.
After traveling from Indiana to Seattle, Topcon Solutions held the training class, originally designated as a public Autodesk Civil 3D class, the session transitioned into an exclusive one-on-one training opportunity for Erin, facilitated by Technical Specialist Manager, Kevin Closson. This tailored approach, conducted outside the standard course outline, created a more customized and personal customer experience. Azar stated that she was pleased with “the personalized attention that Topcon gave.”
This partnership between DES Engineering and Topcon Solutions highlights the importance of providing hands on training solutions for the industry to continue to grow on a foundation of collaboration and innovation.

To Expand BIM and VDC Integration, R&H Construction Uses the 'Buddy System'
R&H Construction in Oregon is a full-service general contractor, specializing in vertical construction, renovations and tenant improvements projects. Already an early adopter of BIM and virtual design and construction (VDC) tools and processes, R&H seeks to expand these capabilities enterprise-wide, and to all projects. Rather than going-it-alone in the integration of new and updated software and solutions, R&H has formed a strong relationship with their local Topcon Solutions Store (TSS), an Autodesk Platinum Partner, for training, support, and business transformation consulting.
For Construction Coordination, Lease Crutcher Lewis Goes 'Single Source'
Lease Crutcher Lewis has been providing construction services in the Pacific Northwest and beyond for over 130 years. The scale and complexity of recent and ongoing projects have brought with them an imperative to up their game in digital construction and project coordination—with award winning results. While an early adopter of BIM and virtual design construction (VDC), Lewis continually expands their digital collaboration capabilities with the help of their local Topcon Solutions Store (TSS) as a single source for applicable product online training, support, and business transformation consulting.
VDC Specialists Provides Client Cost and Time Savings Through Leverage of Collaborative Model Sharing Workflow
Located in Lawrence, KS, VDC Specialists provides virtual construction and BIM services to a large variety of projects across the nation such as airports, commercial buildings, industrial factories and more. The VDC Specialists’ team was recently tasked with providing constructable Revit models for prefabrication of a series of datacenters, each one million square feet in size – a challenging project of working ‘hand in hand’ with those in the field across large distances and time zones.
