Construction science students at Texas A&M’s College of Architecture learned how practical project delivery and building information modeling are being used in the construction industry from George Pontikes, president and CEO of Satterfield and Pontikes Construction Inc., and other S&P representatives who visited the Texas A&M campus April 14.
Pontikes and Samuel Sprouse, practical project delivery manager, Joshua Harrison, building information modeling coordinator and Ashley Young, building information modeling specialist, made presentations in the Wright Gallery and Preston Geren Auditorium showing how their firm is using PPD and BIM at one of its current projects, the construction of the Texas A&M Health Science Center.
In between the two presentations, students hopped aboard a bus and traveled to the health science center site for a tour led by S&P managers.
“It was a great opportunity to hear from one of the leaders in the construction industry in Texas, and a chance to see one of the most visible projects on the Texas A&M campus,” said George Eustace, senior lecturer of construction science.
