Value Delivered

We provided design-assist services and worked closely with the architect and engineer  to clear up scope and design gaps that would not have been realized until installation.

Our building information modeling (BIM) efforts provided insight into these scope and design gaps, and our collective efforts provided Pacira with the manufacturing suite and system upgrades they desired.
