About Excel Engineering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Excel Engineering<\/a> is a full-service engineering and design firm based in Wisconsin and born from the values instilled upon them from the community in which they live, work and thrive. \u201cAlways a Better Plan\u201d is their mission, and it\u2019s the driving force behind everything they do; it\u2019s a commitment not only to their diverse and wide-reaching customer base, but to each other as well. Their commitment to exceeding their customers\u2019 expectations is only surpassed by their commitment to simply do things better. Smarter. More efficiently. And it\u2019s a principle applied to their architectural design, coordination, communication, customer service as well as managing time and budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puget Systems is proud to call Excel Engineering a customer. But the relationship is more than that. Excel Engineering is a valued partner. That partnership began in the early days of the pandemic, and at first seemed to arise from what appeared at first to be a simple need. \u201cWe need a better plan, better performance, better solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently caught up with Mike Franke, Network Administrator for Excel Engineering. A seasoned IT professional who, we quickly learned, wears many hats within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExcel Engineering is indeed an engineering firm, but we\u2019re unique in that we\u2019re a multidisciplinary organization – we are in many ways a one-stop shop for our customers. And our customers come from multiple industries; if they want to build a food factory, an office building or even a Taco Bell, we can design it all from the ground up – all of the mechanicals needed for an effective build, from electrical, to plumbing – everything. And we\u2019re proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in the early 90s with a handful of architects and engineers, Excel Engineering has grown to over 300 employees, with 60 new people joining in the last year alone. But amidst all of this growth, Mike works closely with a team of just four IT professionals to manage the entire organization\u2019s tech requirements. And as an architectural and design engineering firm, they rely heavily on systems and software that enable their teams to deliver highly-complex, intricately designed specs, drawings, and renderings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, Excel relies on Revit BIM software, a powerful software platform from Autodesk that helps architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams create high-quality buildings and infrastructure. The design teams rely on Revit to model shapes, structures, and systems in 3D with parametric accuracy, precision, and ease. They also use Revit to streamline documentation work, with instant revisions to plans, elevations, schedules, and sections as projects change. It\u2019s the ideal tool for empowering multidisciplinary teams like Excel with the specialty toolsets and a unified project environment they need to exceed their client’s expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
