When Rich Naldrett joined Maamech in spring 2014, leaders at the Hunt Valley, Maryland-based HVAC construction company had decided to offer comprehensive design-build services to building owners. 

Initially, the company used contract designers, but decided it made more sense to bring the design function fully in house. To support the new design team, Maamech solicited bids from various vendors in order to implement a building information modeling-based platform. The company ultimately decided on Imaginit Technologies’ proposal for Autodesk’s building design suite, which includes Revit MEP and Navisworks.
