Consulting Services

Have you been looking for a software solution to a specific business need but just can’t find it? BSD has over 24 years of experience in developing unique database-driven software applications for the construction industry.

Most of our consulting work involves the modification of our proprietary software for use in other situations. For example, The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) wanted to provide convenient access to their standardized contract forms that allows customization of the language for specific project conditions, but they also wanted to control unauthorized use of their copyrighted forms. BSD modified the software developed for its BSD SpecLink® product and paired it with AGC’s unique database to produce AGC DocuBuilder®, which is now named ConsensusDocs®. BSD also provides fulfillment and technical support services for the product, which is now available through AGC’s on-line e-store and at www.consensusdocs.com. ConsensusDocs® allows users to buy unlimited access to all or a designated subset of the AGC contract forms through an annual subscription, or they can access any of the documents but pay only for those they actually print, using a unique Meter Mode approach developed by BSD. Learn more about ConsensusDocs®.

Prior to moving into commercial software development, BSD developed software products for the Federal government for over 15 years. BSD developed the highly successful MCACES software which is still used by the Corps of Engineers and the Department of Defense for detailed estimating. We also developed the original Historical Analysis Generator software for the Corps, as well as the Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCC) system, and our BSD CostLink/CM still supports data exchange with DOD and Corps of Engineers MCACES Gold formatted projects.

In addition to modifying its own software for related uses, BSD considers contract development of new products that are closely aligned with its own needs and those of the construction software marketplace. If you find BSD’s unique background and perspective to be potentially relevant to your unique software needs, give us a call for a no-cost, no-obligation discussion of the possibilities.
