INNOVATION

Project Atlas is a software program that creates a digital mapping engine that uses geo-location instead of traditional folder structures to organize and visualize 2D plans and construction data. It is a mapping engine for construction. Using location, it helps management teams piece together project information by converting drawings into highly detailed zoomable layers. This program was created and developed by RO employees (Todd Wynne and Joe Williams) back in 2014 as one of the custom applications used on past projects. They wanted to improve and simplify the construction industry. In June of 2018, it was acquired by Bluebeam. Bluebeam is a multinational technology company that currently has saturated 98% of the construction market. They took the app and incorporated it into their suite of solutions and has been used on notable projects across the country, such as La Guardia Airport and multiple NFL stadiums.

Project Atlas won the CETI (Celebration of Engineering & Technology Innovation) Award in 2015 from Fiatech
