Taylor Wiseman & Taylor Attains SITEOPS(R) Provider Certification

CHARLOTTE, N.C - BLUERIDGE Analytics(R), provider of patented land development software that delivers cost-optimized preliminary site designs and estimates, today announced that Taylor Wiseman & Taylor (TWT), a professional services firm based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, has joined the elite list of SITEOPS Certified Providers.

SITEOPS Certified Providers are civil engineering firms that have created "SITEOPS Certified Centers of Excellence" with at least five individuals certified in SITEOPS. Certification distinguishes engineers who have mastered conceptual site design and what-if analysis using SITEOPS (www.siteops.com). They are skilled in information delivery and presentation using this collaborative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) system.

"Taylor Wiseman & Taylor has a solid century of providing Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern clients with professional, efficient engineering services," says BLUERIDGE Analytics President/CEO Mike Detwiler. "By mastering SITEOPS, they can deliver even more cost effective site design options to their land development clients."

SITEOPS is "CAD with a Brain((R))," revolutionary technology that can automatically generate line work for a conceptual site plan using sophisticated algorithms. The SITEOPS 3D auto-draw tool creates site layouts, grading plans, storm water drainage designs, and related cost estimates in minutes to hours. SITEOPS users are saving an average of $15,000 per acre in site costs. Engineering firms skilled in SITEOPS can produce dozens of preliminary plans for a single site, along with cost estimates, in less than a week. This tool enables firms to give clients significantly more information at the start of a project, a critical time for key financial decisions that can mean the edge in a tightening construction market.

"Our firm is built on a tradition of quality and innovation," says James Stevens, PE, President of TWT. "SITEOPS is next-generation CAD technology that will enable us to provide clients with better information and options for decision making. Our design team is excited about SITEOPS, and we look forward to sharing its benefits with our customers."
