Additional Information

I am in the process of relaunching 1BIMSolution in a different direction. My goal is to be able to recruit young professionals who don't have the ability to afford traditional college courses. In doing so I believe I can offer a low cost staff augment with the potential to hire when the company sees fit this will also allow peace of mind by guaranteeing quality of work.
