Value-Added Contributions -Project Transition Optimization: Streamlined workflows from early design (SD, DD) to construction documentation (CD), enhancing efficiency and reducing errors. -Legacy Project Modernization: Led the migration from 2D CAD and legacy 3D models to BIM platforms like Revit and Archicad, improving design accuracy, LOD, coordination, and delivery speed. -BIM Model Optimization: Implemented strategies to reduce model size by up to 33%, accelerating production and improving model navigation. -Enhanced Collaboration: Integrated tools such as Miro and Asana to improve team coordination, real-time communication, and task management.
Assisted in design coordination, collaborating with Management to align project goals and design Intent Managed BIM files, coordinated point cloud models, and conducted clash detection, and contributed to BIM standards development.
