Frequently asked questions

Is this a fabrication shop role?

No — we focus on BIM/VDC detailing and coordination workflows, not hands-on shop fabrication.

What software is required?

CAD-Duct or CAMduct plus Revit MEP and Navisworks. Experience with spool drawings and prefab workflows is highly valued.

Remote work?

Yes — sheet metal detailing is one of the most remote-friendly roles in the mechanical industry. Many Dallas clients support fully remote detailers.

Is a Texas ACR license required to work in commercial HVAC in Dallas?

The Texas Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) contractor license is required at the contractor level, not for individual PMs or estimators. Field techs benefit from ACR Technician registration; supervisory field roles often require it.
