Pyramid Engineering utilizes modern technology at all phases of a project.  All work is carried out using CAD software, including preliminary design and presentation work.  It is more cost effective, quicker and more accurate than traditional methods.  We also use specialty design software as well as internet transfer of information between ourselves, other consultants and our clients.

Pyramid maintains comprehensive, Windows based analysis tools for design.

Pyramid maintains an Internet website complete with file transfer and e-mail capabilities.
