Who We Are
Microdesk was founded in 1994 as an Autodesk Reseller with a simple mission – to assist Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner/Operators and GIS firms with improving workflows and integrating project delivery technologies. 25 years later and that mission still holds true.
Our consulting team is the nation’s largest and most experienced group of AECO technology consulting professionals. We help clients to realize the business benefits of BIM quickly and economically by facilitating the use of innovative technologies and processes.

Our Vision
Our vision is to reduce the environmental impact of urbanization by helping the AECO industry to design, construct and operate better projects more efficiently by leveraging the full potential of BIM, VDC and Asset Management. We partner with world leaders, such as Autodesk and IBM, to utilize innovative technologies and methodologies to empower sustainable design and overcome local challenges.
