VIRTUAL CONSTRUCTION
Our technology allows us to continually monitor and control every aspect of your project more efficiently in order to keep your project on budget, on-time, and with the highest quality and safety control.
BENEFITS OF BIM
Building Information Modeling, or BIM, in construction can help contractors not only through its 3D models and technology, but with creating and managing all of the information about a project. This leads to an output that contains digital descriptions for all aspects of the physical construction project.
Although it is mostly associated with preconstruction and design, BIM also benefits every other phase of the project life-cycle. By allowing Kraemer Brothers to virtually build the project before its physically constructed, we can eliminate many of the inefficiencies and issues that may usually arise during the construction process.

Foremost Farms
“Kraemer Brothers kept this project on schedule and under budget while enduring some extreme winter weather conditions and complications of tying in a new building into a 50-year-old block building, 10-year-old steel building and a four-year-old freezer panel building, all with different elevations. Kraemer Brothers did a great job of handling the sub contractors’ schedules and costs, keeping them informed of the constantly changing circumstances. Foremost Farms has a high standard for safety in all of our plants and for all of our projects. Kraemer Brothers made this a priority and kept the project incident free.”
