Services
BIM Coordination
Our BIM coordination service integrates architectural, structural, and mechanical systems to identify and resolve conflicts before construction begins. Using Revit and NavisWorks, we create pre-construction models that streamline fabrication and installation for sheet metal contractors. This ensures reduced rework, cost savings, and adherence to project timelines.
Shop Drawings
We produce detailed shop drawings that translate design intent into actionable fabrication instructions. Our CAD experts ensure precision in documenting sheet metal components, supporting accurate manufacturing and installation. These drawings comply with industry standards and project-specific requirements for healthcare, education, and government facilities.
3D Modeling
Our 3D modeling service leverages advanced software like BIM 360 Glue to visualize complex construction systems. This allows contractors to validate designs, optimize spatial relationships, and improve collaboration across disciplines. The models serve as a foundation for clash detection and project planning in large-scale projects.
CAD Design
We provide CAD-based design solutions tailored to sheet metal contractors' needs. Our team uses AutoCAD and Trimble tools to create precise digital plans that guide fabrication and field installation. These designs enhance efficiency and accuracy while adapting to both small and large project demands.
Project Coordination
Our coordination service ensures all project stakeholders align on timelines and deliverables. We act as a liaison between contractors, project managers, and field teams to maintain schedule adherence. This includes managing documentation, resolving technical issues, and facilitating communication throughout the construction lifecycle.
