Summary
As a Certified AutoCAD User, I offer a unique blend of high-precision BIM modeling and photorealistic visualisation. In my current role at Brett Martin, I bridge the gap between engineering and marketing by developing detailed Revit models, AutoCAD drawings, and V-Ray renders for the company website.
Previously, at McAdams, I coordinated with architectural and structural teams to produce fire strategy drawings, technical schedules, and 3D models. Combined with my studies in Building Surveying, this has given me a deep understanding of building compliance and RIBA stages. I am a dedicated problem-solver, calm under pressure, and confident that my technical proficiency will make me a valuable asset to your team.
