The firm employs state-of-the-art three-dimensional and finite element analysis software, alongside AutoCAD and Sketch-Up, and has developed a custom Revit detail library that supports modeling of concrete, steel, wood, masonry, light gauge steel, post-tensioned concrete, glulam beams, and heavy timber trusses. Deliverables are produced in AutoCAD and coordinated through BIM workflows to reduce RFIs and change orders during construction.

The firm operates on a project-based professional services revenue model, billing for consulting engagements directly to clients without disclosed pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is direct relationship-driven sales, with referral and repeat business from architectural firms and developers as the primary pipeline, supported by a minimal web and Facebook presence.
