With a group exceeding 30+ detailers, utilizing the industry's two most sophisticated software SDS/2 Tekla, we can tackle many varied types of projects and complexities. These assets allow us to also maintain tight control over quality, schedules, and workflow. When it comes to BIM, well that’s old hat to us. We’ve been at BIM since 1999. We consistently use BIM to aide during preconstruction activities, flowing into estimating and right into the detailing process. We understand BIM is a vital tool in construction today and are fully capable of helping on your next project.
