by AF 0323 a3 — March 27, 2009—Trimble announced that it has acquired privately held QuickPen International, a leading provider of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical construction and plumbing industries.
QuickPen provides estimating, Computer Aided Design (CAD), fabrication and asset tracking software for the mechanical and HVAC construction trades. The company’s state-of-the-art 3D CAD software produces detailed HVAC ductwork and piping models that can be rapidly fabricated, notes Trimble.
In addition, QuickPen’s asset management program allows contractors to manage their significant investment in tools and equipment. The acquisition of QuickPen enables Trimble to provide complete “BIM to field” solutions for mechanical and HVAC contractors to automate project estimating, detailing, layout and construction, says the company.
QuickPen will be part of the Engineering and Construction segment. For more information, see the Trimble Web site.
