Design Master had been nominated for the Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2024 Product of the Year in the software category for our ElectroBIM version 2.1.

We received Silver in this category last year, but we'd like to take the top spot in 2024. We encourage all our users who are CSE subscribers to go online and vote for ElectroBIM before the voting deadline on April 12.

As always, we thank you for your continued use and support of our products!

We're happy to share our most recent customer story. This month we talked with Bill Ross of Lake Shore Electric about him, what they've been doing, and all things ElectroBIM and Revit.

Bill has been a loyal Design Master and ElectroBIM user since not long after switching over to Revit around 2017.

“Design Master took us to a level way above the AutoCAD side. It definitely pushed us to make Revit our full-time use.” 

The level of work they can design with Revit and ElectroBIM sets themselves above their competitors in how they serve and produce for their customers.

See the full customer story on the Design Master website.

We'd love to share your story. Email beau@designmaster.biz if you and your company would like to be featured.

Connecting with others in the engineering industry helps with professional growth and networking. At Design Master, we frequently have customers ask us for ways to engage with peers and others in this field. There are a few ways we can help:

1. Follow us on LinkedIn. We continually post new content to LinkedIn to drive information and communication within our community. Engaging with others through our page is a good way to meet new colleagues.
2. We proudly sponsor a monthly Electrical Mastermind group specifically tailored to our industry. This exclusive community provides a platform for members to exchange ideas, share insights, and collaborate on various projects.
3. For those seeking more immediate and interactive connections, we recommend joining and exploring this Discord server. This channel is a hub for professionals to engage in real-time discussions, seek advice, and stay updated on industry trends and events. The Discord server owner also has a YouTube channel where he posts helpful and informative videos to a large group of subscribers.

We invite you to take advantage of all these sources of community development and look forward to seeing you there.

Plan to attend our regular monthly online training webinar for Design Master ElectroBIM for Revit. The training is held on the third Thursday of each month.
