Christopher Ducote Email & Phone Number

20 years experience in the electric utility design world. I started my career working for an electric utility where I was exposed to all aspects of utility operations. From substation, distribution and transmission design, I garnered great knowledge of how everything ties in together. Within the utility, I also was given the opportunity to work within their real estate group where I gained experience in land management, used GIS software and performed civil survey CAD work. Within this group, I also performed duties necessary to obtain property and rights of way to construct power lines, substations, etc.From there, my journey continued in utility design, specifically substation design with Dis-Tran. I've always had a love for 3D/BIM design and was able to leverage this to bring our traditional 2D design groups into 3D. Many efficiencies were gained and quality of work improved. This even opened the door to additional product offerings.My love for design software and processes have taken me from there to working for a software company where I had the pleasure of consulting with many large utilities and EPC's to map out their design processes and implement CAD standards. Most recently, I'm Lead in the BIM group at Power Engineers developing BIM design and workflow standards.Beyond all this, for the past 15 years I have also been designing custom homes as a side business. Lately specializing in bardominium design.
