Land Developers Win Big with SITEOPS(R) SCOR Reports

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Civil engineers and their clients
now have a powerful new way to compare and analyze the cost implications of
different site designs. Last week, BLUERIDGE Analytics added Site Cost
Optimization (SCOR) Reports to its revolutionary web-based land development
software suite, as part of the SITEOPS(R) Online Tools 3.1 release.

With the click of a button, SCOR reports present data from different
cost-optimized design solutions side-by-side. Engineers can instantly provide
their clients with superior layout and cost options during the conceptual site
design phase, months earlier in the land development process.
"Imagine that every time a client asked about a possible design change,
you had an answer ready, showing exactly what that change would cost. A
SITEOPS SCOR report lets you do exactly that," explains Heather
Palmer-Palavido, VP of Product Development.
SCOR reports can be accessed via email or from the SITEOPS web
application. For each design solution, the report includes:
-- Cost comparisons
-- 2D site designs
-- 3D site images from NE, NW, SE, and SW viewpoints

This allows engineers to show clients the level of savings they are able
to achieve from SITEOPS optimization in various 'what-if' scenarios.
"SITEOPS routinely saves hundreds of thousands of dollars on grading and
other site development costs. SCOR reports put that cost savings information
directly in front of decision makers at the time when they can use it most,"
says CEO Mike Detwiler. "Our clients tell us that in a tight market, this tool
gives them the competitive edge in winning new business."
This month's releases are loaded with enhancements, including improvements
to triangulation, storm water drainage, piping, and 3D viewing. For details,
