Among its standout capabilities, OpenSite+ offers AI-assisted drawing production and a Copilot design assistant that enhances productivity through automating routine tasks, streamlining workflows, and improving data and design quality. Another compelling aspect of OpenSite+ is its use of generative AI, a first in the industry, which significantly boosts the efficiency of site design by making real-time design changes with ease and precision. With the ability to address complex design challenges in a fraction of the time traditionally required, OpenSite+ is elevating project execution capabilities.

"Being an integral part of this beta testing gives us a front-row seat to pioneering technology,” said Adam Smith, VHB Orlando Assistant Director of Land Development and Southeast LD Service Lead. “We're shaping OpenSite+ to meet real-world needs and look forward to the eventual advancements in our workflows and project outcomes."

VHB’s involvement highlights the firm’s dedication to adopting innovative solutions and underscores its proactive approach to embracing technological advancements in civil engineering. As VHB continues to test and provide feedback on OpenSite+, the integration of this transformative tool will set new benchmarks in the industry, solidifying VHB’s role as a forward-thinking leader in site design.
