Ideate Software Tools Help DIALOG Focus on Collaborative Design and Planning Process

Founded in 1960 as an architecture and engineering studio in Calgary, Alberta Canada, Cohos Evamy expanded across the country as it expanded its service offerings. Today, under the name of DIALOG, it provides architecture, electrical engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, mechanical engineering, planning and urban design, and structural engineering services. 


The firm changed its name from the founders’ names to DIALOG in 2010, because the new name represents their vision of bringing unique perspectives together, bridging traditional boundaries, and engaging clients and communities to effectively design and plan for an increasing complex world.


The multidisciplinary teams of DIALOG architects, engineers, interior designers, planners, and graphic artists follow an interactive planning and design process that has earned the firm recognition for outstanding contributions to the public realm and the design of cities, including three Awards of Excellence presented in 2020 by The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects:

DIALOG and Ideate Software


To help their multi-disciplinary teams leverage their diverse perspectives to tackle complex challenges together, DIALOG uses top technology tools, including all five Revit applications developed by Ideate Software.


When talking about Ideate Software products, Ross Salikhov, Technologist, Mechanical Engineering, said, “I mainly use Ideate BIMLink and Ideate Explorer, and both are a must for me as a serious Revit user.”


He continued, “Ideate BIMLink is irreplaceable for finding/reviewing/revising parameters. It has saved me days if not weeks of work. I use Ideate Explorer as a more sophisticated Revit filter, because the native Revit filter is very limited. Even my shortcut for it is FIL, suggesting that I treat it as a Revit filter.”
