New Delhi, India (September 21, 2010) -- Satellier, a world leader in providing CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) outsourced services to the architecture, engineering and construction industry, announces a strategic minority investment from India-based top engineering firm Potential + Semac, ushering in the next evolution of the global architecture support industry.
“We’re recognizing a paradigm shift in the building industry worldwide, as public and private infrastructure investment is returning, stimulating latent demand for projects executed in BIM at more competitive rates,” says Satellier Founder and Executive Chairman Michael Jansen. “By coupling Satellier’s core BIM expertise with Potential + Semac’s cross-discipline engineering expertise, we will meet this demand and provide comprehensive higher value-added services worldwide. Now we can do it all, and we can do it everywhere. ”
The strategic partnership will enable Satellier to provide its clientele, which includes 20 of the top 40 architecture, engineering, and construction firms in the world, with a wider menu of services. Building on its historical core focus of technology-enabled architecture design and production support in the United States, Europe, and Australia, Satellier will now be able to provide this new expertise in integrated Architecture/SMEPF services across all major markets.
“We welcome the addition of Potential + Semac to the Satellier global family and look forward to collaborating with their team in India and the Middle East to provide “best in class” end-to-end services worldwide,” says Satellier CEO Darren Rizza (former CIO at Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill LLP). “We are poised and ready to partner with all segments of the global AECO community, increasing our depth of involvement in India-based projects and collaborating with our design firm clients worldwide to execute their projects according to the world class standards they have come to expect from Satellier.”
