While others in our industry have focused on becoming multi-trade solution providers, Blouin remains committed to our core business — delivering superior industrial and commercial sheet metal and mechanical contracting solutions.
Airside Direct
Many complex and time sensitive projects can benefit by having the sheet metal scope of work sourced as a direct subcontract to the construction manager. This project delivery method is what we at Blouin refer to as ‘Airside Direct’. Blouin works with the construction manager to establish a comprehensive scope of work which includes 3D-Building Information Modeling (BIM), airside purchased equipment and a matrix of field labor activities to align with current industry trade line agreements.

Pre-Construction planning
