GOALS

• Design aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces that meet client needs while adhering to building codes and sustainability standards, leveraging BIM software for efficient design visualization and iteration
• Collaborate seamlessly with clients and consultants, effectively communicating design intent and incorporating feedback through shared digital models and visualizations
• Stay at the forefront of architectural design trends and incorporate innovative materials and construction techniques into projects, promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible design solutions.

Frustrations

• Reconciling design changes requested by clients with project timelines and budgets, especially when using traditional 2D drafting methods, can be time-consuming and prone to errors
• Coordinating with multiple consultants (structural, MEP, etc.) and ensuring design compatibility across disciplines can be complex and require iterative revisions and communication
• Finding the right balance between aesthetic vision and practical considerations, such as building codes, accessibility requirements, and budget limitations, can be a constant challenge in the design process.

GOALS

• Develop accurate and detailed 3D BIM models for complex architectural projects, adhering to industry standards and incorporating precise geometric information and building data
• Streamline model creation workflows and improve efficiency by leveraging BIM automation tools and scripting interfaces within Revit to automate repetitive tasks
• Collaborate effectively with architects and engineers, ensuring that the BIM model accurately reflects the project design intent and facilitates clash detection and resolution during the design coordination process.

Frustrations

• Dealing with poorly coordinated 2D drawings from consultants, requiring extensive rework and model adjustments to resolve clashes and inconsistencies
• The steep learning curve associated with mastering advanced BIM software features and scripting interfaces can be a barrier to improving efficiency and automation
• Repetitive modeling tasks and the need to manually input data into the BIM model can be time-consuming and hinder productivity, especially for large and complex projects.
