About Us¶

Our Story¶

Founded in 2023, LACES has provided consulting and software development services to a number of international and domestic clients.

Our founder followed a traditional educational path of undergrad studies and co-op work. This lead to a rewarding career in design and project delivery of road and bridge projects, primarily those involving added capacity and interchange reconstruction.

Along the way, he found that the roadway design work was really a means to an end - the fun stuff was in automating manual updates to CAD drawings and finding ways to make Software Product A talk to Software Product B.

LandXML was the original cheat code that enabled this "magic". Now, Industry Foundation Classes are enabling information sharing and collaborative digital project delivery like never before.

Our Values¶

Civil Engineers serve the public, whose safety shall be held paramount.

Open, well-documented data formats serve taxpayers best.

Users should pick the tools and systems that they like best, not ones that are dictated by others.

API access is preferred to manual file-based transfers.
