With offices in Boise, Denver and Sacramento, CSHQA designs retail, healthcare, commercial, aviation, education, hospitality, multi-family, civic and government facilities for companies across the United States and in Alberta and British Columbia. Its staff of more than 100 professionals includes electrical, communication, mechanical, plumbing, civil and structural engineers as well as landscape architects and interior designers. They work together to create smarter and better performing environments that enhance the way people live, work and play.
CSHQA is a full-service, award-winning design firm known for its quality designs and its support of energy efficiency and sustainability. It achieved this solid reputation by focusing on people: its employees and its clients.
“People at all levels—AITs, EITs, support staff and senior management—work together on project development and execution,” said Evelyn Peterson, Architecture - Revit Facilitator, CSHQA.
“We listen to our clients and to each other, so we can deliver high-value solutions to our clients.”
CSHQA professionals work with powerful technologies to design with greater accuracy and flexibility. One of those technologies is Autodesk Revit Software, another is Ideate Sticky.
Ideate Sticky is a Revit add-in solution that combines the ease of editing in Microsoft Excel, Word or Adobe PDF with the convenience of a sticky note. It enables users to link an Excel spreadsheet, Word document or PDF file with non-BIM data such as code checklists, design data, consultant’s data, general notes, and matrix style data directly into Revit.
"Ideate Sticky is a great add-in for Revit. Our engineers love it," said Evelyn. “Sometimes the architecture team use it as well.”
“Collaboration is key to our teams’ ability to develop better concepts, stronger designs, and more efficient systems,” said Evelyn. “Ideate Sticky enhances collaboration by streamlining the process of disseminating non-BIM data. What used to be a tedious, time-consuming task is now done in just minutes.”
Ideate Software allows Revit users to have unprecedented control over their data and solve persistent problems in architecture, engineering, construction, and owner (AECO) workflows. Ideate Software solutions enable Revit users to save time, increase accuracy, improve project deliverables, and elevate design.
