The Computer Aided Design Department of Joseph Barbato Associates utilizes AutoCAD 2014 in conjunction with a host of other software packages to produce the highest quality drawings in the most efficient manner possible. We accomplish this by the implementation of the latest productivity tools available. The use of AutoCAD's Sheet Set Manager insures our projects maintain a high level of organization and reliability. Our CAD models rely heavily on external references to make adjusting to the design changes simple and precise. We have refined our AutoCAD environment by creating custom Tool Paletts, LISp routines and Pull-Down Menus to simplify the design process and achieve consistency. We are committed to developing innovative methods to service our client's ever expanding needs and providing drawing packages that are both clear and concise.

We also utilize high quality structural design software for engineering of building design projects. Our various software provides solutions for general analysis, frames, trusses, shear wall systems, foundations, retaining walls, floor systems utilizing materials such as steel, wood, concrete, aluminum, cold-formed light gage metal, and masonry. All analysis results are first verified and then implemented into the final structural design.

Joseph Barbato Associates utilizes Autodesk's Revit Structure for modelling of building systems. This program allows for utilization of the latest technology to optimize design and maximize efficiency in design. By modeling projects in a three dimensional enviroment, real-time decisions can be made regarding the simplest and most cost-effective solutions to even the most complex conditions. Joseph Barbato Associates can leverage the parametric capabilities of Revit Structure to keep plans, sections and details always in accordance with the evolving specifics of any design. The embedded information and parameters of modeled objects ensures fast and accurate schedules and quantities. When partnered with a team that is also working with Revit Structure, Joseph Barbato Associates can ensure absolute and immediate coordination thus reducing revisions and cross-discipline conflicts.
