About

I’m a Revit BIM drafting specialist providing production and modeling support for contractors, consultants, and project teams. My focus is on converting 2D CAD and PDF drawings into clean, organized Revit models that are practical, coordination-ready, and easy to work with.

I specialize in BIM production and drafting support, not design authority or engineering calculations. I work closely with existing drawings, sketches, and direction provided by the project team to build accurate base models suitable for documentation, coordination, and downstream workflows.

Typical support includes:

DWG / PDF to Revit conversion

Base model setup (levels, grids, walls, doors/windows, rooms)

Clean views, sheets, and schedules

As-built and record drawing support

Models prepared for coordination and Navisworks review

My approach emphasizes clarity, consistency, and constructible information. I’m best suited for teams that need dependable Revit production support without over-modeling or unnecessary complexity.

Engineering design and calculations are handled by the engineer of record; my role is to ensure the model accurately represents the intent and is usable by the full project team.
