“It is often difficult to position fastening technology as its own specific trade at an early stage of project planning.”

“In BIM projects, it is becoming more and more common practice to think about a fastening concept at an early stage.”

“We use the offset tool in AutoCAD to draw the boundaries and identify tree protection zones. We also relied on AutoCAD to trace different alignments for the road and zoning for the driveway to make sure a fire truck can move through it.”
