Featured Projects

Fortran to Blazor Migration

Fortran to .NET/Blazor Migration

We modernized a critical Lab Information Management System (LIMS) for a large-scale steel industry client. The project involved migrating a legacy OpenVMS/Fortran monolith to a modern, scalable .NET architecture with a Blazor WebAssembly frontend.

The new system preserved decades of complex metallurgical algorithms while providing a secure, web-accessible interface for lab technicians and engineers.

Impact:
  • Zero downtime transition for critical quality control labs
  • Eliminated dependency on obsolete VMS hardware
  • Real-time data access across the manufacturing plant

MEPF Connection Automation

MEPF Connection Automation

MEPF Connection Automation is a Revit API–based add-in developed for residential and commercial concrete buildings. The tool automatically identifies ducting and piping scenarios and places the correct hangers, supports, and connection systems based on predefined engineering rules.

This automation eliminated repetitive manual modelling tasks, reduced modelling errors, and significantly accelerated MEPF coordination workflows.

Impact:
  • 80% reduction in ducting and piping support modelling time
  • 30% reduction in overall project modelling lead time

Revit to ETABS Conversion

Revit Analytical Modeling for ETABS

This project involved building a Revit add-in to automate analytical model preparation for concrete commercial buildings. The tool adjusts analytical members, defines load cases, and prepares the model for seamless conversion to ETABS using CSIxRevit.

The solution removed data silos between BIM and structural analysis teams and enabled a reliable, code-compliant structural workflow.

Impact:
  • Eliminated rework caused by manual analytical model setup
  • Improved alignment between BIM and structural analysis teams
  • Enabled faster downstream structural analysis and design

2D DWG to 3D Model

2D DWG to 3D Model Tool

The 2D DWG to 3D Model Conversion Tool automates the transformation of 2D CAD drawings into full 3D Revit models with a single click. The add-in reads DWG geometry and intelligently generates floors, walls, rooms, ceilings, doors, and windows.

This tool dramatically reduced manual modelling effort for residential concrete buildings while improving accuracy and consistency.

Impact:
  • Up to 60% reduction in manual apartment modelling time
  • Fewer modelling errors
  • Faster project turnaround
Revit API C# ACadSharp
Underfloor Heating AutoCAD Automation

Underfloor Heating AutoCAD Automation

Modernized a legacy AutoCAD VBA tool used for underfloor heating (UFH) design, addressing 64-bit compatibility and high manual effort. Rewrote the codebase using late binding and VBA7-safe architecture.

Automated UFH layout tasks including group text placement, roll length/circuit calculations, and layer-wise measurement.

Impact:
  • 70%+ reduction in manual drafting time
  • Stable operation across AutoCAD 2020+ and 64-bit Windows
  • Consistent, repeatable outputs with minimal runtime errors
AutoCAD VBA Automation
Excel to Revit Schedules Automation

Excel to Revit Schedules Automation

Problem: Revit users spend hours manually placing Excel schedules onto sheets with inconsistent naming and alignment.

Solution: TableToSheetWriter is a Revit plugin that automates Excel-to-sheet conversion. It detects naming patterns, applies smart layouts with customizable margins, and converts sheets to high-quality images. One-click updates ensure data freshness without losing formatting.

Impact:
  • Reduced schedule placement time from hours to minutes
  • Eliminated manual alignment errors
  • Standardized naming conventions across projects
