Additionally, another Ross, with a mechanical design background and a strong 3D skillset, was hired. Embracing new software tools, Node adapted to the challenges posed by the pandemic, enhancing their design services with advanced 2D and 3D modeling technologies.
These strategic hires and technological enhancements allowed Node to deliver more precise and efficient scaffolding designs, meeting the evolving needs of their clients and ensuring project success even during challenging times.
