Built Different bridges mechanical engineering, software, and the systems specialty manufacturers actually run on. The work spans automating product specs, fitting CAD and ERP into the workflow your team already uses, and replacing tribal knowledge with tools the floor will actually open.
Cross-domain work for the seam between disciplines — the kind of problem that doesn't fit cleanly into "hire a dev shop" or "hire an engineer."
Lightweight web apps tailored to your existing processes, wrapping cumbersome ERP and CAD systems (Epicor Kinetic, SOLIDWORKS PDM) into role-specific tools your floor will actually use.
IES files, Revit families, and submittal data produced automatically from product configuration. Faster quotes, fewer hand-built deliverables, no more tribal knowledge buried in spreadsheets.
Configuration tools, operator interfaces, in-context production apps — software that doesn't justify a vendor purchase but pays back the day it ships.
Parametric Revit family generation and Autodesk Platform Services pipelines that turn product configuration into specifier-ready BIM content — no manual rebuilds when a product line changes.
When a specifier configures a fixture on the manufacturer's website, a complete Revit BIM family is generated automatically and delivered inside the spec package — no manual file generation by engineering, no email request to the catalog team. Pipeline built on Autodesk Platform Services, MEP shared parameters, and IES photometric files.
Read case study →A configurator that lets sales or engineering pick a target output for a luminaire and computes — end to end — exactly which board and driver combination produces it, then ships the full spec package: programming instructions, IES file, and Revit family. Replaces engineering judgment buried in spreadsheets with a tool anyone can run.
