Case Study: DeLuca-Hoffman Associates improves site lighting design and turnaround with Design Master Software

DeLuca-Hoffman Associates, Inc. - Customer Case Study

DeLuca-Hoffman Associates, Inc., a civil and environmental engineering firm, was facing significant project delays because they had to outsource the photometric design for outdoor site lighting. Relying on external lighting representatives led to slow turnaround times for designs and revisions, which hindered their ability to keep pace with evolving project plans. To regain control and efficiency, they turned to Design Master Software and implemented its Electrical product.

Using Design Master Electrical, which runs directly within AutoCAD, the firm gained the ability to perform photometric analysis in-house. This allowed them to update lighting plans instantaneously, compare fixture types for cost and efficiency, and create higher quality, more informative plans for clients. The solution benefited all five of their engineering teams, enabling them to keep projects on track and provide valuable energy analysis. The principals at DeLuca-Hoffman are very satisfied, finding the software well worth its annual cost.
