TEMPER

ENGINEERING

Assumptions Reversed.

Nearly three decades of AEC software development — brought to bear on problems that live at the frontier of what great teams can solve.

The Temper
Principle

When steel is tempered, it is heated past its assumptions — past what it was — and cooled with precision into something harder, stronger and more reliable than before.

That is the method here. Every engagement begins by reversing the assumptions that made the problem unsolvable in the first place. We trace causes, not symptoms. We finish what others abandon.

With deep roots in engineering and nearly thirty years developing CAD, BIM and digital twin software for the AEC industry, Temper Engineering works at the precise intersection where engineering judgment meets technical execution.

"The problem was never unsolvable.
The assumptions were just wrong."

What We Do

01 ——

BIM Consulting

Fractional BIM management for firms without dedicated technical staff. Workflow design, standards development, software implementation and troubleshooting — from the inside out.

02 ——

Custom Software Development

Bespoke tools, automation pipelines and integrations built specifically for AEC workflows. If your team has the need but not the bandwidth or background, this is where we start.

03 ——

Digital Twins

Infrastructure digital twin development combining engineering rigor with modern data modeling. From concept through implementation and ongoing refinement.

04 ——

Seismic Load Calculator

Purpose-built software for calculating seismic loads and enforcing building code compliance. Developed by a licensed civil engineer who understands the code at its root.

05 ——

Forensic Problem Solving

Root cause investigation of failed implementations, broken workflows and unsolved technical problems. We follow the problem back to its origin and do not stop until it is resolved.

06 ——

2D Drafting & 3D Modeling

2D construction documents, floor plans and patent application drawings produced with precision. 3D models built for CNC fabrication, 3D printing and photorealistic rendering. A 3D model resolved before the first cut eliminates dimensional conflicts, reduces material waste and produces better outcomes at every scale.

What Sets Us Apart

Engineer First

Licensed civil engineer with deep first-principles training. Not a consultant who learned engineering — an engineer who builds software. That distinction matters when the problem is hard.

Root Cause Methodology

Every engagement begins by reversing the assumptions that created the problem. Symptoms are treated last. Causes are found first. Nothing is declared unsolvable until the source has been identified.

We Finish the Job

The problems that wear other consultants down are precisely the ones Temper Engineering is built for. Long hours, hard work and relentless follow-through until the problem is resolved — not managed.

Our Clients

Small & Mid-Size AE Firms

Firms without a dedicated CAD manager, BIM manager or in-house software developer gain a trusted technical partner who understands their workflows from the inside — with the depth of a senior engineer and the skills of a developer.

Large Architecture & Engineering Firms

Large firms bring us in for the work that demands specialization — custom automation, software integration, bespoke tool development and the forensic investigation of systems that never performed as promised.
