SITEOPS is conceptual site design software that allows civil engineers, architects, landscape architects and land developers to evaluate more information in the early stages of a project, design more efficiently and minimize site development costs. The software gives users the ability to conduct rapid site evaluations and "what-if" scenarios by generating thousands of layout, grading and storm water drainage combinations in a matter of minutes.

"SITEOPS gives us a unique tool to rapidly assess multiple options for our clients' sites," said Alec Tadman, MEng MIEAust, an Associate with the Land Development Services group at Aurecon. "On recent projects, we have been able to utilize the conceptualization and optimization features of SITEOPS during the initial phases. Ultimately we expect that this will allow us to become more involved with projects earlier and, in return, build better relationships with our clients."
