Problem

EPCs, AECs, and Consultants

The transformation of the critical infrastructure design industry is drastically increasing the amount of “free” engineering required during the pursuit of new business. These non-billable hours are a significant burden, eating into margins and demotivating key staff with extra hours that tilt the work-life balance scale in the wrong direction.

Solution

TDG significantly reduces resources spent during pursuits and early project stages by letting software do the monotonous aspects of design – increasing margins and freeing up engineers for more innovative, cost recoverable work.
