I am Jeff Martin, PE, I have been using, supporting, training, and developing Bentley Civil Software (and its Intergraph precursors) for over 30 years. I started on AutoCAD, spent 18 months on CAiCE and another six months on Civil3D.
I have been developing training, delivering training, supporting and implementing the OpenRoads Designer software platform continuously since before its release in June 2013.
My professional mission is to provide the unique high-level integration and extension services my 30+ years experience allows me to do:
- Integrate: Optimizing the processes and flows of the services you already sell
- Extend: leverage and extend the capabilities of the individuals, the teams, and the organization to expand their scope of profitable service
- Develop/Share Civil Infrastructure Insight
The Civil XLr8 Mission is to Maximize the Efficiency and Excellence of your Civil Engineering Office through:
- Minimizing Software-related Risk
- Speed
- Quality
- Integration

- {tip title="Fun is important" content="Fun is a metric I do not overlook. It is a measure of quality. Good, quality processes are fun processes." class="bg-success-subtle"}Fun{/tip}
I have three "professional" websites, each with their own scope (with some overlap):
- CivilXLr8.com is the business/services-focused site.
- The {tip title="Original Site: HTML!" content="one big advantage of the old 'plain-HTML' sites is that they're extremely stable. Twenty years with zero maintenance and they still work fine. They're just not smart or dynamic." class="bg-success-subtle"}original site {/tip} from twenty years ago is here: the "Legacy" site
- CivilHelp.com is OpenRoads support content. I'll be sharing detailed tips, training and other content there.
- JeffMartinPE.com is an overly detailed history of my professional career. It's kind of my ongoing memoir/blog. It also hosts some thought leadership ideas like The Six-Ball Juggle
I am responsible for the content and layout of my sites. {tip title="I would hope that I pick better words than AI at this point" content="(It looks like AI content is the next Big Disruption (I should sacrifice precision to get ahead of that revolution, but I still think expert deliberation matters)). I definitely need to proofread more (sorry)." class="bg-success-subtle"}I type every word{/tip}. I build sites with Joomla!
My "fun" public sites include:
- GoOutLookUp.net - a guide for beginning stargazers
- UCVolley.com - My {tip content="UCVolley.com/dash"}son{/tip} played volleyball. I enjoy photograqphy. I am compelled to share. 30,000 pictures later...
