“I have never been on a job where the mechanical contractor drives the production,” says Perry Gardner, Building Division project superintendent on the Rolesville High School project. “But that’s exactly what is happening out here because of the technology our team is using.” The Rolesville High School project is utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM), which uses a 3D representation of the design drawings to place mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems within the structure. Using BIM, each major subcontractor and specialty trade adds their discipline-specific knowledge to the shared model, reducing loss of information as the project progresses and for creating accurate 3D as-built documents.
