As a contractor on a three-person team, I was responsible for promoting floorplans that had issues preventing them from being promoted, delaying the reset draw schedule.Relevant experience: Leveraging my deep understanding of the floor planning application, I took the initiative to troubleshoot and identify the root cause of the floorplan issuesDespite limited development resources, I designed, developed, and implemented multiple custom AutoLisp/Visual Lisp tools to identify and fix the issuesResults:The cleanup tools significantly increased floorplan promotions, from thirty a week to thirty or more a day for each person, saving the team significant time and money. The continued use of these cleanup tools ensured error-free drawings and eliminated future backlogs in the draw schedules
