Lerch Bates's Suite of Apps Delivers Total Building Performance

Simulation, Data & Digital Tools That Power Better Outcomes

At Lerch Bates, technology isn’t an add-on—it’s embedded into how we solve complex building challenges. From advanced simulations to real-time onsite data capture, our digital tools enable smarter decision-making, reduce risk, and improve project performance at every stage of the lifecycle.


Turning Data Into Decisions

Modern buildings generate enormous amounts of data. We help you make sense of it.

Our suite of tech tools brings together simulation modeling, field data collection and analytics to provide clear, actionable insights. Whether you’re designing a new system or optimizing an existing asset, we deliver the visibility you need to make confident decisions.

What you gain:

  • Data-backed design validation
  • Improved project predictability
  • Reduced lifecycle costs
  • Enhanced performance and safety

Advanced Simulation Capabilities

We use sophisticated simulation tools to evaluate system behavior before implementation—minimizing uncertainty and optimizing results.

Vertical Transportation Simulation

Model elevator and escalator performance under real-world conditions:

  • Traffic analysis and passenger flow modeling
  • Capacity planning and wait-time optimization
  • Scenario testing for peak usage and future growth

Parking and Pedestrian Flow Simulation

Predict bottlenecks, optimize retail opportunities and ensure user satisfaction from sidewalk to seat with:

  • Levels of Service modeling
  • Entry and exit peak traffic performance
