Civil XLR8 is back!
after an almost twenty year magical mystery tour, including stops at
- CalTrans District 11 (18-months embedded on-site designing roads, ramps, and drainage)
- Bentley (13+ years developing Bentley Civil Training, designing the training portfolio, and a stint as Civil Training Content Development Manager)
- Parsons (three words: Multidisciplinary ProjectWise-based MegaProjects!)
- City of San Diego
Civil XLr8 is my primary focus again. OpenRoads Designer is the ecosystem this time.
The Mission from all those years ago is the same:
| Good | Accelerate | increase your speed | |
| Better | Excel-erate | increase your Excellence (speed without quality just increases risk) | |
| Best | XLr8 | MAXIMIZE your Efficiency and Excellence |
Civil XLr8 is dedicated to Maximizing the Efficiency and Excellence of the Civil Engineering Office.
We offer these Services
- Consulting
- Training
- Custom Training Development
- Implementation Planning and Execution
- OpenRoads Workspace Development and Administration
- Risk Awareness and Mitigation
- Website Development / Internal Support Hubs
Why we're back:
The biggest impediment to success in OpenRoads is its complexity. A BIM/Digital Twin platform - with Design Intent (memory) - is dramatically more complex than a plans production program. The Vendor Support/Training system is arguably better, but not significantly. The gap is huge. How do you bridge it?
Extraordinary Complexity Requires Extraordinary Support.
