Case Study: Lawson-Fisher Associates achieves faster, more efficient design workflows with Trimble Tekla Tedds

Lawson-Fisher Associates P.C. - Streamlining design process using Tekla Tedds

Lawson-Fisher Associates P.C., a civil and structural engineering firm with a 40-year history, was spending too much time on hand calculations, spreadsheets, and multiple software tools, which made its outputs inconsistent and revisions slow. The firm needed a faster, more professional way to produce calculations and reports, and it adopted Trimble’s Tekla Tedds after a demonstration from CSC.

Trimble’s Tekla Tedds streamlined Lawson-Fisher Associates’ design process by automating day-to-day calculations, centralizing changes in one system, and generating consistent branded reports. The firm used Tedds for a medical office building project covering loading, foundation design, steel frame analysis, and masonry shear wall design, and despite late changes, it finished on time. The result was significantly less revision time, improved workflow and efficiency, stronger competitiveness in proposals, and the ability to take on larger projects.
