Services
BIM Modeling
Our Building Information Modeling (BIM) services create detailed 3D project visualizations that identify potential conflicts before construction begins. This technology enables precise clash detection and improves collaboration between all trades involved in the project. By using BIM, we help clients visualize their projects and make informed decisions during the design phase.
Drone Surveillance
Drone technology provides real-time aerial monitoring of construction sites for progress tracking and documentation. We capture weekly exterior photos and final project images to ensure alignment with plans. This technology enhances site safety monitoring and provides accurate progress reports to stakeholders.
Air Quality Monitoring
Our air quality monitoring system ensures construction projects maintain or improve indoor air quality during renovations. We use air scrubbers and infection prevention partitions while conducting weekly testing. This service protects occupants and ensures compliance with environmental standards throughout the construction process.
Owner Representation
As owner representatives, we manage all aspects of construction projects from pre-construction planning to final punch lists. Our services include budget development, contractor evaluation, schedule coordination, and monthly progress reporting. We act as the client's advocate throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Procore Software
Procore software streamlines project communication and documentation management for all stakeholders. This platform provides centralized access to drawings, specifications, daily reports, and RFIs. Our use of Procore ensures transparency and efficiency in project execution and documentation.

They can get it done and on time but don't complain about the quality sometimes. But I guess you sacrifice quality for high productivity.
