Case Study: Proficient Engineering achieves 10x faster MEP design with Design Master Software

Proficient Engineering Gets the Job Done Ten Times Faster with Design Master HVAC & Electrical

Proficient Engineering, Inc., an Atlanta-based MEP engineering firm, sought to improve the efficiency and accuracy of its design process to remain competitive and manage costs. The company was using a time-consuming, multi-step method that involved manual takeoffs from AutoCAD and external programs for calculations. They implemented Design Master HVAC and Design Master Electrical software to streamline their workflow directly within AutoCAD.

The solution from Design Master Software automated critical calculations for heating, cooling loads, and ductwork, integrating them directly into the design environment. This resulted in a 90% reduction in design time, with one project's load calculation time dropping from a week to under four hours. The efficiency gains eliminated the need to hire four or five additional staff, significantly reduced errors, and provided a competitive edge through higher-quality, more accurate designs that saved clients money.
