Ben has the proven ability to eff ectively create and manage a dynamic BIM model throughout a building’s lifecycle. He
recognizes the immediate benefi ts of integrating Building Information Modeling by “virtually” constructing your project
before “physically” building it in the fi eld; this is essential during the preconstruction process. His integrated approach and use
of the latest Revit and Navisworks software, will allow all of our project team members to design and plan more eff ectively,
intelligently and ultimately make better decisions for the owner.
