The new Midwest Steel video provides an inside view of how Midwest Steel works as a team to implement the latest BIM technology into every phase of the major steel construction projects they are involved in throughout the United States and Canada. With experience specific to the steel component of some of the largest, most complex construction projects completed in the last forty years, Midwest Steel provides their customers with a completely unique and innovative approach to the entire steel contract; the detailing, the fabrication and the erection from the early design phase to project closeout with innovative solutions to the most challenging construction considerations.

“Project Owners need construction partners to evaluate construction options early in the design phase of their capital investment construction projects to truly understand the value of steel construction. At Midwest Steel we have developed a team of experts that understand the challenges that pertain to every phase of the steel contract to help owners make choices that will save money on overall project cost and save significant time on the overall schedule. It is our goal this Steel Day to share an inside view of the behind the scenes activities that help project owners complete successful projects,” said Tom Broad, Midwest Steel Executive Vice President.

The professional video was produced by Bret McElfish, Spearfish Design of Detroit, Michigan. Project footage and high-quality still photographs were provided by Construction Marketing Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana.
