Leading on Digital Delivery
The civil engineering industry is in the middle of its biggest shift since the move from hand drafting to CAD. BIM, IFC, and digital twins aren’t buzzwords—they’re the future of how infrastructure gets designed, built, and maintained.
We’re not waiting for that future. We’re actively building it.
Saikei Civil is open-source IFC 4.3 infrastructure design software that we develop. It’s 30,000+ lines of production code, 107+ tests passing, and proof that we understand where the industry is headed.
When you work with Desert Springs, you’re working with engineers who don’t just use the tools—we build them. That depth of technical understanding shows up in every project.
