Visual of school site for a site planning, civil design, and extensive energy modeling project

THOMAS & HUTTON

Sustainable site design

“Being able to quickly iterate and analyze multiple design scenarios, develop preliminary permitting documents, and collaborate both internally and externally—the Autodesk applications brought all those things together.” —Charles D’Errico, IT Systems Analyst, Thomas & Hutton.
