API GROUP INTRODUCES API CAD SERVICES

APi Group introduces APi CAD Services

October 21, 2009 - Oct. 21, 2009 - APi Group Inc. launched APi CAD Services as a division of APi Facilities Management. The development was finalized Sept. 1, when Premier CAD Services, LLC. was acquired and restructured as a dba.

APi CAD Services will grow APi Group's initiatives in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and advance the industry's BIM movement through successful interdependent relationships with like-minded A&E firms, general contractors, construction managers, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors. By using state-of-the-art CAD systems and BIM, the company will deliver coordinated and functional 3D blueprints to companies within the specialty construction industry. Brad G. Moore was selected to lead this venture.

"We have tremendous faith in Brad's abilities to create success for this business," said President of Grunau Co., Larry Loomis. "His background, his work ethic, and his positive 'can-do' attitude will serve his clients well as he helps them succeed in their objectives."

Moore has a long and successful history with APi Group. He began his career at APi Group subsidiary Grunau in 1997. He left Grunau in 2008 to establish Premier CAD Services.

"I'm honored and thrilled about this opportunity," Moore said. "I have always felt that most works of great consequence are results of successful collaboration. This is the heart of the BIM philosophy as well as the heart of the culture at APi Group. This is where I want to be."

Moore is passionate about BIM and its ability to provide the construction industry with the next great quantum leap in service, efficiency, and production.

"This is our passion and our strength," Moore said. "In the vast spectrum of construction processes, this is where I believe we can make the greatest impact."

APi CAD Services will better serve the existing clients of APi Group companies and build solid relationships with new clientele.
