My focus is to deliver our clients the best experience at each design phase, construction sequence, and project delivery through an innovative process. I solve challenges with the appropriate solution, which factors people, time, tools, objectives, and possibilities. My experience in composing teams and developing staff successfully reiterates my mentoring skills. I’ve advanced and cultivated efforts within Site Analysis, Zoning and Code Analysis, Project Scope, Programming, Budgeting, Project Team selection, intra-design workflow exchange, Design coordination, Sustainability, and Marketing.My initiatives included model-based Construction Scheduling, Value Analysis, System Analysis, Constructability Review, Construction Coordination, Progress Document Reviews, Prequalification, Cost Estimates, Guaranteed Maximum Price development, Design Phase budgeting, Cost Forecasting, Submittal process, Field Management, Safety Programs, Prevention through Design (PtD), the Handover and Closeout process. Defined and executed BIM-centric plans for the approaches of the Design-Bid-Build, Construction Manager at Risk, Design-Build, and Integrated Project Delivery. Worked with clients to transition data from design and construction sources into facilities management software (BIM to FM).The information related to construction projects is data sources. Gathering these data sources to perform business intelligence is crucial in driving innovation. Leveraging data analytics to improve productivity on a project, pursuing projects, understanding trends, and creating advantages are available and necessary to lead the industry. Developing a cost modeling approach for projects in the early stages and reviewing current data on existing projects to make informed decisions. Utilized Artificial Intelligence for construction safety purposes and defining schedule iterations. Understand how to leverage Robotics, automation, and IoT as part of an integrated and cohesive environment.

2023 Project Delivery Symposium - AI's Impact on ArchitectureAdvances in AI are contributing to an immersion of new technology and automation, which is just breaching the threshold of architecture. This discussion will explore the breadth of opportunities AI provides.Our goal is to inform about AI trends, its current capabilities, where it’s going, new innovations, and what benefits we can gleam from using this technology.Michael Schroeder, SGA Partner/leader of its VDC discipline, will be joined by AI experts to discuss a future where A&D teams collaborate with AI to construct the buildings of tomorrow. It will draw those interested in opportunities AI creates as it branches into the AEC world. Just as AI impacted research, machine learning & driverless-vehicles, new innovations like Open Source Neural Networks & next-generation inventions will be discussed.https://aiau.aia.org/courses/ais-impact-architecture-0

CS323624 - Prefab, Status Tracking, Inventory Management and Cost Control on the Job SiteAttendees will take away a better understanding of the prefabrication process from start to finish. We'll cover best practices used to provide all information necessary for coordination, ordering, fabrication, and install, as well as start to finish creation of prefabrication build sheets, with workflows from BIM 360 to Revit for model coordination. You’ll be able to better understand the use of Revit custom family creation for prefabrication assembly build sheet creation. Used for hot and cold aisle modules, in-fill strut layout of ceiling grid, parapet stud walls, and interior wall penetrations for a large data center project. We will review generating a detailed quantity take-off based on the coordinated model, to efficiently reduce material waste using an Excel add-in Optimulan. In addition, we will cover status ,inventory tracking and cost control best practices we employed using Autodesk Assemble and Power Bi.

Within the construction industry, I chose to be in management roles to earn rapport and leverage the opportunities to demonstrate the application of technology and BIM/VDC to improve project planning, execution, and handover. While most were focused only on MEP Coordination, I included other applications to improve project delivery. Established Augmented & Virtual Reality on projects and developed these applications to improve execution in the field. Developed contracts and documentation to support applications for clients and subcontractors. Defined workflows and trained office and field staff to leverage applications and adapt to innovation. Collaborated with company IT leadership to advance the application of IT to support BIM/VDC applications. Worked with company executives to develop and implement company initiatives.- Manage assets in construction coordination through a BIM/VDC process, including M/E/P system Coordination, reinforced concrete slab and wall penetration coordination, and ceiling access panel coordination.- Implement and train field staff in processes for utilizing VDC models for construction.- Coordinate underground site work, below-grade structure, and existing utilities - Plan logistics, mobile, and tower crane placements.- Responsible for managing the on-site personnel and processes for multiple projects, facilitating production and model development for all phases of projects, implementing of advanced technologies, and providing support to BIM/VDC initiatives. - Perform 4D schedule planning through a variety of scheduling and construction planning software platforms. - Collaborate with client facilities departments on integration of models and BIM data into facility management software. - Utilize my IT background in workflow integration of BIM data into client facilities department processes for efficient understanding and utilization.
