Engineering CAD Solutions (ECS) is an Australian engineering CAD solutions company. Since 1997, it has provided products and services related to engineering data production, management, and distribution for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure assets. It is Australia’s largest Bentley Systems Gold Channel Partner, with a core focus on tools such as MicroStation, ProjectWise, CADconform, and iTwin Capture Modeler. Its main customers include engineering design teams, asset owners, contractors, and GIS/mapping teams.
ECS’s value lies not in a single piece of software, but in the combination of “software licensing + implementation configuration + training + technical support + data services.” CADconform is one of its key compliance tools. It runs on MicroStation and AutoCAD, offering standardized drafting menus, standards checking and correction, and tamper-resistant electronic sealing, making it suitable for projects that need to submit drawings according to corporate or asset-owner standards. ECS also provides MicroStation 2D/3D training, CAD programming, custom tools, workspace management, data cleansing, format conversion for DGN/DWG/DXF/SAT/STL and other formats, as well as reality modeling services that generate 3D meshes from photos or LiDAR.
The website discloses some pricing: a 12-month named-user subscription for MicroStation is Aust $3,967, while a perpetual license is Aust $13,660. A single-workstation CADconform license starts at $2,669 ex GST and includes 12 months of support; the annual upgrade subscription is $499 ex GST. CADconforming services can be quoted per drawing or per project, while most other products and services require contacting the company for a quote.
The advantages are its clear industry focus, deep experience in the Bentley ecosystem, and ability to cover the full workflow from procurement, licensing, implementation, training, compliance checking, drafting, and conversion. It also has local experience with standards-compliance scenarios such as BHP Olympic Dam and BHP Iron Ore. The drawbacks are that its website is more service-oriented, with limited developer APIs/SDKs, systematic documentation, or online self-service configuration capabilities. Its core tools are mostly closed-source commercial software, and its service coverage is clearly oriented toward the Australian engineering market.
It is suitable for engineering firms, asset owners, and contractors using MicroStation, AutoCAD, ProjectWise, or the Bentley/iTwin ecosystem, especially teams that need CAD standards consistency, drawing certification, legacy drawing digitization, outsourced drafting, or reality modeling.
