About 

A qualified Senior Architectural Technologist currently managing Architectural aspects ranging from client procurement, office management & construction documentation through to site administration and completion. My Knowledge of the construction industry is extensive and I have been actively involved in developing and managing Commercial, Retail and Residential Projects. 

Having just completed an Advanced Project Management (PMBOK) course and with nine years practical experience in the architectural field; including Autodesk Revit; I have established the ability to rationally develop a concept, warranting my position as a progressive thinker, who is continually pushing boundaries. I am poised, devoted, instinctive and constantly looking for ways to improve the environment we work within, and also strive to create.

My significant BIM (Level 2) Management capabilities have enabled me to transform the documentation management systems of ALL the past companies I’ve worked with. I’m currently also part of a ‘hit squad’ tasked to transform my current employers’ documentation process and drawing standards.
