BIM Building Information Modeling 1 - (Page 16)

It’s a New Age… BIM While many companies talk about Building Information Modeling, we've spent the last five years integrating BIM technology into our construction process systems. Today, we're Chicago's BIM-capable leader in successful pre-planning, design, prefabrication, purchasing/inventory control, construction management, commissioning and building operations. Through innovation we've become Illinois' largest mechanical contractor. Now, each day, we save clients time and resources with modern solutions to age-old problems … using applied BIM technology.
