Today’s Collaboration

Company Profile

The Reputation

Riverstone has used BIM technology in the most progressive way. Their integrated BIM workflows enable the different AEC disciplines to work seamlessly together on any type or size of project from initial concepts to project completion. Projects delivered in this way are finished sooner and on budget. That is why Patrick Bird and his team at Riverstone have become so sought after by both clients and fellow building professionals to help develop their projects. We greatly respect Riverstone Structural Concepts for always pushing the limits. Thank you, Patrick, for your business!

From the very first projects Riverstone Structural Concepts produced using ArchiCAD, it was obvious they were leveraging this new BIM paradigm to fundamentally transform the working relationship between the architect and the structural engineer into a more collaborative partnership. Using the Graphisoft BIM Server and Teamwork environments, Riverstone has revolutionized the structural engineer’s business model. Today, without exception, they continue to innovate using ArchiCAD and other open BIM solutions. They are simply leading the profession forward through process change and new collaboration methodologies that will affect all stakeholders in the AEC industry.

I have known Pat for over six years and have been fortunate to see his company grow and evolve into a leader of structural firms using BIM. From the first day we met, he had a clear vision on what BIM could do for his company. His entire team understands the value of ArchiCAD, BIM, and collaboration and takes advantage of the technology. It is exciting to see their passion for working in collaborative teams throughout the US. Unlike many, they do not try and emulate the old workflow. Instead, they utilize the tools and workflows as they are intended to create building models with fewer errors and ultimately saving the building owner time and money.

McCall Design & Planning has been working with Riverstone Structural Concepts since its inception, and with Patrick Bird prior to that. There are several reasons we continually go back. RSC has proven their ability to work with us as a team both in the design phase, as well as through the nuts and bolts of engineering. An even more important one is in their follow up after the drawings have gone out the door. They understand that when you call during a project, there are people standing around a job site waiting for an answer, and they work hard to find that answer as quickly as possible. An additional bonus is our ability to work with them in a BIM system. Instead of having to send drawings back and forth, since we are all working with ArchiCAD, we work in the same drawing file together, streamlining the process.
