BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – February 28, 2008 – Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: AVSO.OB), the nationwide technology experts for design, engineering, and facilities management, announced today that Ledy Design Group has hired Avatech to help keep their firm at the forefront of architectural excellence while reducing time and money throughout the design process.  Avatech will generate a detailed technology roadmap and perform implementation and training services for the firm.

“Our company has always leveraged technology to stay out in front, and today we are making a firm-wide commitment to maintaining industry leadership through innovative technology planning and implementation,” says Tom Reder, Principal at Ledy Design Group.  “Avatech’s industry expertise enables us to leapfrog some of our competitors by adopting dynamic 3D modeling technology and efficient business practices.”

Avatech will implement Autodesk Revit Architecture and Revit Structure along with AutoCAD Civil 3D applications across the organization’s multiple disciplines: architectural, structural, civil and survey.  The contract also includes one week of offsite immersion training to ensure that Ledy’s team is prepared for the dramatic shift in design and business processes.  While ensuring that best-in-class work processes are implemented, Avatech will make certain that Ledy continues to meet current project deadlines.  These new systems and processes will significantly decrease the time from conceptual design to construction documentation.

“In our industry, streamlined processes and higher productivity equals profitability, because we are able to achieve more with fewer or the same resources,” says Reder.  “Implementing this innovative technology will strengthen our partnerships with other engineering disciplines and construction companies that demand the same standards.  It will also ensure that we can participate in more projects as owners start to require information models.  The changes we make today will give us a significant competitive advantage tomorrow.”

“Forward-thinking firms like Ledy Design Group gain the advantages of speed to completion, as well as higher-quality designs that result in fewer on-the-ground errors,” says Bruce White, Senior Vice President of Sales at Avatech.  “Combining new technology with focused education enables firms to rapidly incorporate new processes and standards that optimize the use of technology.”
