When the team was tasked with working on a renovation and expansion of the Banner Boswell Medical Center, they decided now was the time to embrace the IVB mindset and rethink the way a hospital construction project was planned. Though the company as a whole is a long-time user of Autodesk products, the Southwest region wasn’t as quick to adopt a design-build approach as some of the other regions. To achieve optimal communication in the digital space, it’s essential that all parties involved in a project feel prepared for and empowered by the new solutions.

The project aims to fully define building information modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) while integrating these capabilities in a sustainable way. To achieve a unified approach to design-build, a new Integrated Virtual Builder (IVB) initiative is being put in place. Embracing a design-build approach to projects requires strategic shifts in mindset-not only across McCarthy, but with its trade and business partners as well. McCarthy Building Companies' commitment to digital innovation in its industry is quickly expanding across all regions of the company.
