Success Story
Timberline Buildings, located here in central PA, is a company that designs and builds pole buildings of all varieties. The company is small but mighty with three drafters, one of which has 2-3 years of self-taught experience in AutoCAD. The second drafter works in a remote capacity with years of software experience, and the third was brand new to the software. The goal for the team was to ensure that all three drafters were using the software in the most efficient manner, while also still being able to stay productive. Some of the examples of their work include fire stations, storage barns, agricultural structures, light commercial buildings, manufacturing shops, equestrian buildings, buildings for public parks and spaces, and buildings for townships, county, and other agencies.
With the range of learners Print O Stat opted to present a face-to-face on-site approach to best support each person’s skills while also working to ensure the main objectives where being met. The group at Timberline is quite unique as the design staff was all very well versed with their level of hands-on construction knowledge, which directly relates to the team’s growth, quality of work, and steady workload. The knowledge of the group translated easily to the production of their drawings and made the instructional and learning process quite easy. The team was focused and dedicated to getting as much as possible from the class to ensure additional company growth.
The solution provided was a weeklong class at their facility. Which allowed for daily work to continue, while still allowing the group to focus on new and refreshed learning of the software. The class also afforded the experienced drafter to develop some additional template information and procedures to increase consistency, quality, and overall production. With the added knowledge, existing knowledge, and having a new set of eyes the group will continue to look for ways to enhance their business with a solid understanding of the value of partner support and Autodesk software.
Ultimately, the team at Timberline benefitted from the class, and have progressed in their individual skills in AutoCAD in ways that have helped Timberline become more efficient and more productive.
We at Print O Stat understand the value of small business, as we are a family-owned business ourselves, and we truly look forward to the opportunity to provide the same level of expertise, value, and on-site support to all our customers.

Contractors Making the Transition to BIM
The biggest challenge for Reedy Electrical Services was not having the expertise needed to handle the increasing number of bids that require a BIM deliverable. This requirement limits the number of opportunities the customer can bid on. In addition, the secondary challenge was to keep their production levels up and continue to bid on new projects while implementing the transition from producing 2D drawings to 3D Revit models.
Food Service Equipment meets the BIM World
The key challenges were adoption of Revit as a valid design software solution and creation of custom families and schedules that would autofill schedules. Clark Food Service Equipment was currently doing everything in AutoCAD and had to make all of their schedules with Mtext. Food service equipment is not readily available in the Autodesk library so all families had to be custom made, along with parameters and shared parameters to meet a successful deployment of Revit.
