Case Study
Baylor Scott & White
Delivering Excellence in BIM Coordination
Our collaboration with Baylor Scott & White on their Frisco project exemplifies our commitment to BIM excellence. From the outset, we integrated BIM into the design assist phase, working closely with the design team to verify distribution routing and optimize space allocation for all trades.
Our Proven Process
Our success on the Baylor Scott & White – Frisco project is a testament to our standardized approach. We prioritize preplanning, fostering open communication with the operations team and establishing clear expectations from the outset. This collaborative approach enables us to identify opportunities for prefabrication, optimize workflows, and deliver projects on time and within budget.
