BIM for virtual design and construction
Construction is a high-risk industry. Complex, manual processes are prone to errors that result in budget and schedule overruns. Learn how using BIM-based VDC workflows in preconstruction leads to more precise and predictable outcomes.
Benefits of BIM for trade contractors
The industry is changing quickly and speciality trade contractors have the added pressure to deliver high-quality work faster. Learn the top reasons why mechanical and HVAC contractors say BIM is an essential part of adapting to new expectations.
What our customers say
FORTIS CONSTRUCTION
Eliminating stakeholder uncertainty
“One of the biggest advantages of BIM is that it takes away the ambiguity that owners often experience during the design and construction phase.” — Monica Emmons, BIM Manager, Fortis Construction.
