Erik Ruffing is a Construction Modeling Specialist for Nordic Construction PCL, where he generates graphical information from project design documents to help communicate schedules, "work in place" logistics, and master coordination models to jobsite teams, consultants, and subcontractors. The use of BIM on our projects has provided great value during pre-construction and during construction by identifying conflicts between the design elements (i.e. civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and architectural) and as a result preventing costly re-work and time impacts.
Erik has spent over 23 years in the engineering field, of which 17 years were with an electrical design firm. Erik's other experience involves heavy industrial design for clients such as Boeing, Weyerhauser, and the Corps of Engineers, as well as large residential and resort projects.
