BIM
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a common practice in today’s construction industry.
At Nelson Electric, we use this intelligent 3D model-based process to create quality documents and models to help plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure. The focus of this invaluable process is to bring all trade partners to the table to increase productivity, safety, and minimize construction and installation issues in the field.
