Industry Leaders Rush to Embrace SITEOPS(R) Multi Pad CAD Software

Wednesday 23. January 2008 - Set to launch in April 2008, SITEOPS(R) Multi Pad will forever change the way that shopping centers are designed and built. It's no wonder that the country's top civil engineering firms are eager to test drive the new release.

“The demand we’re seeing for SITEOPS Multi Pad is mindblowing,” says President and CEO Mike Detwiler. “Our beta testing program is full to capacity. We literally had to turn people away.”

SITEOPS is poised to become the new industry standard for designing commercial and industrial centers. SITEOPS web-based site planning software exceeds the power of other CAD drawing tools exponentially, delivering accurate cost estimates and preliminary site designs in 24 hours or less. Even more stunning are the savings generated by the software’s powerful optimization engine – hundreds of thousands of dollars on grading costs alone.

Many land developers and retailers require engineers to run SITEOPS on their projects. That’s because SITEOPS delivers superior site design and cost information earlier in the land development process, giving a strategic edge in property evaluation and negotiation.

The SITEOPS Multi Pad beta program launched January 11. It includes leaders from the civil engineering industry such as:

— Atwell-Hicks
— Buescher Frankenberg Associates, Inc. (BFA)
— The John R. McAdams Company
— Woolpert, Inc.

Multi Pad 1.0 builds on the success of SITEOPS Single Pad, released by BLUERIDGE Analytics, Inc. in May 2007. Multi Pad includes all Single Pad 2.0 functionality – including collaboration features and layout, grading, and piping optimization – plus support for properties with multiple building footprints like shopping centers and office parks.

“SITEOPS Multi Pad is revolutionary,” says Heather Palmer-Palavido, VP of Product Development. “With this level of performance and power, our customers can’t wait to take it for a spin.”
