I'm Christian Barrett, and New Roots Development is my company. Twenty-five years in civil engineering, from CAD draftsman to VDC coordinator, and I still produce plan sets, run plan review, and fly the sites underneath both.
As an Autodesk Authorized Instructor I've spent years teaching Civil 3D software to people who have to use it on real deadlines, which is a fast way to learn where the software stops helping. The tools and review systems I build start at those places.
Plan review, quantities, production, drone capture. All of it comes from work I do on live projects, which is the only reason any of it is worth buying.
Former Director of the AUGI Civil 3D Community, building a 10,000+ member network for professional collaboration.
Published Civil 3D author and Autodesk Authorized Instructor, delivering technical training to the global engineering community.
Five enterprise-level Civil 3D implementations, providing custom automation and plan review systems at scale.
25 years in civil engineering, specializing in the intersection of field data capture and digital plan production.
FAA Part 107 certified drone operator, delivering high-precision reality capture and topographic data for Civil 3D workflows.
I produce the plans, review them, and capture the field data underneath both. Technology that isn't grounded in that ends up solving problems nobody has. Everything New Roots builds is aimed at the standards and the agency requirements you are actually working against.
