BIM has been a consistent focus of the work that I have been involved with for many years and is founded on my technical experience and understanding of building design. This experience of working in a 3D software/ building information modelling environment has put me in a good position for taking a lead on BIM implementation strategies and given me a great understanding of the coordination this working environment requires. Utilising meaningful BIM methodologies and workflows to enhance communication with project teams and once on-site to quickly enable working with the main contractors to manage issues and to investigate more efficient construction opportunities.
