Any engineer, whether you are a mechanical, electrical, or plumbing engineer, can create extremely efficient systems for your project with confidence when uising BIM (Building Information Modelling.) Using Building Information Modeling (MEP), engineers can advance their design to a 3D model directly from the Architect’s model. Information about the size of rooms, real-time ceiling elevations, and…

Any architect, contractor and engineer can save time and headache by using our 3D scanning service, because the scanners quickly & accurately detail and document a space to get a virtual instance of any structure. 3D laser scanning is a high definition-surveying tool for construction, design, facility management and structural & mechanical engineering.  This is a…
