Following a highly successful partnership with SSOE on their first U.S. facility — a greenfield high-pressure aluminum castings plant — KSM Castings again called on SSOE to provide design and engineering expertise for a second U.S. facility, a 53,000 SF state-of-the-art counter pressure casting (CPC) facility. The new facility expands KSM’s U.S. operations and provides a novel cutting-edge casting technology for automotive components manufacturing.
SSOE provided civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical design services for the CPC facility, incorporating efficiencies developed during the design and carrying those through construction of the aluminum castings plant.
Acting as Owner’s Representative, SSOE planned and coordinated construction activities for the new CPC facility to meet KSM’s facility milestones. To streamline progress, SSOE leveraged proven communication strategies based on Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) tenets and used clash coordination within the model to avoid delays during construction.
Early and ongoing communication with all involved parties, including construction contractors, created a fluid workflow with fewer interruptions, early buy-in, proactive solutions to potential schedule or construction conflicts, and a more successful project overall. KSM is positioned to easily expand in the future.
“SSOE knows us as a company, so they meet our technical needs. It’s very uncomplicated to work with SSOE. They offer us a whole scope, from site selection to architecture and engineering, into construction management. Dealing with only one consultant is very lean and straight forward.”

SSOE is currently piloting software that puts a copilot engine in Revit. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) we can prompt Revit activities such as cleaning up parameter data, annotation, dimensions, sheets and then can share and deploy automations to co-workers in different workspaces within a project. Transforms traditional process of scripts >> write the code, execute command upon an SME directing. (see transcript)…
We helped our client visualize and optimize façade design for occupant comfort—long before breaking ground through the use of the Autodesk Forma tool. It allows the designer to rapidly experiment with the building’s geometry and façade design to discover the most suitable form, prioritizing quality of spaces and comfort for end uses, especially in extreme climates (daylighting and …
SSOE is utilizing Microsoft Copilot to significantly enhance work efficiency and accuracy across various departments. Copilot is accessible to all staff after training. Key areas of application include using it as a writing assistant, for idea generation, document summarization and generation, research assistant, excel assistant, programming code assistant, language translations, product comparison and data analysis. Use of Copilot has…
We found ourselves in need of a more robust tool to enhance resource forecasting and staff assignment capabilities. Instead of waiting for the perfect tool, we’re building it. SSOE’s in-house technology team has developed and piloted a tool that aims to forecast optimal staff mix and duration for new projects against existing workload to better understand capacity and manage…
