WESTMINSTER, COLO. — With completion expected this month, the 125,000-sq.ft. four-story Trimble Rockies Campus facility was on a tight construction schedule. Outgrowing its current office facility, Trimble decided to build a larger campus across the street. In the design and construction phase of the project, the state-of-the-art facility used Trimble’s own customer solutions to help expedite the construction process, leveraging collaboration of 25 different Trimble technologies to support design, site work, fabrication and construction, including building information modeling (BIM) tools and techniques, and BIM-to-field solutions to develop and document means and methods that maximize quality, work with competitive schedules and reduce costs.
