Our Approach
We form a unique union of minds that elevates the AEC industry from multiple different angles / perspectives. Our goal is to empower each participant in the design process with knowledge to succeed in a BIM environment.
Our Story
Bethany's focus is on increasing the efficiency of production by developing tools and resources to increase the skillset of each person working on a project team, making the entire process more productive. Sidney's focus is on the big picture of the industry, the future of technology and encouraging the growth of the stakeholders understanding of the evolution of the role technology can play in their projects. Bethany is focused on the little things that add up to efficiencies on a larger scale, and Sidney makes sure that what she is teaching the production staff stays focused on the future, leading them in a direction that will ensure they are prepared with the skills to be successful in whatever endeavors are ahead of them.
