MEP contractor scaling virtual construction and field coordination
B&I is a full-service mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractor operating across commercial and industrial builds, now investing heavily in BIM/VDC workflows to align virtual design with field execution. The 182 active roles — with 99 posted in the last 30 days and velocity accelerating — show construction hiring at scale, while the project list reveals a focused push: integrating SMACNA practices into BIM, prefabrication planning, and synchronizing virtual deliverables with site schedules. This adoption of BIM tooling (Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore) alongside recurring pain points around schedule synchronization and code compliance suggests B&I is tackling the classic MEP problem — keeping design intent alive from CAD through installation.
B&I Contractors is an employee-owned mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractor founded in 1960. The company serves commercial, institutional, and industrial construction markets across multiple geographies, with headquarters in Fort Myers and offices in Sarasota, Tampa, and Tamarac. B&I's service footprint covers new construction, restoration, and ongoing facility maintenance. Current operations span four trade specialties (HVAC, service, electrical, plumbing) with active headcount between 1,001 and 5,000 employees, the majority dedicated to construction delivery. The company relies on Procore for project management and a deep Autodesk ecosystem (Revit, Navisworks, Construction Cloud) for design coordination.
B&I uses Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam, and Autodesk Construction Cloud for design and coordination; Procore for project management; and Viewpoint for operations. The stack is construction-specific and heavily weighted to BIM and virtual design tools.
