Background
Nearly 12 Years Building Before the Financials.
Stewart Bohrer spent nearly 12 years as a BIM Manager and Virtual Designer at major commercial electrical contractors before joining SPM. That title understates what the job actually is: coordinating multi-trade installations on complex commercial projects before construction begins — finding conflicts, sequencing work, solving problems that would cost ten times more to fix in the field than on screen. It is project management without the title, and it gave Stewart a specific understanding of how field decisions translate into cost outcomes.
Construction Background
BS Architectural Engineering (Electrical), University of Nebraska at Omaha
BIM Manager, Commonwealth Electric Company of the Midwest — 6+ years
Virtual Designer, Power Design Inc. — Tampa/St. Petersburg area
BIM/CAD Designer, Miller Electric Company of Omaha
CAD Technician, Thompson Electric Company
Nearly 12 years total in commercial electrical construction
What BIM Management Actually Is
Coordinating electrical installations with mechanical, plumbing, structural across complex commercial projects
Finding conflicts before they become field change orders
Sequencing work to maximize crew productivity and minimize rework
Understanding how scope changes propagate through a project's cost and schedule
Working directly with GCs, owners, and other trades on constructability problems
Over $2B in commercial work coordinated across his career
Why This Background Matters for Subcontractor Finance
Most fractional CFO firms bring financial expertise to construction. Stewart brings construction expertise to financial systems. He understands why an electrical sub's cash gap compounds in month one (material deposits), what a changed condition looks like from the field side and how it should be documented as a change order, and how BIM coordination failures translate into cost overruns that nobody bills correctly. That context changes how financial systems are built for the clients SPM serves.
