About
Experienced Architectural Draughtsman with over 10 years of hands-on expertise in delivering precise, high-quality technical drawings and BIM models for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. I specialize in Revit (elite-level proficiency in parametric modeling, families, BIM coordination, clash detection, and construction documentation) and AutoCAD (advanced 2D/3D drafting, detailing, layouts, and conversions).
My strengths include:
Creating accurate floor plans, elevations, sections, and as-built drawings from sketches, PDFs, or site measurements.
Developing detailed Revit BIM models with full coordination across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.
Optimizing designs for efficiency, cost savings, and compliance with South African building regulations and standards.
Fast, reliable turnaround with meticulous attention to detail and clear communication.
Throughout my career, I've contributed to numerous successful projects, including multi-unit residential developments, office buildings, and warehouse conversions in Johannesburg and beyond—consistently meeting tight deadlines while reducing revisions through proactive problem-solving.
Passionate about turning client visions into buildable reality using the latest Autodesk tools. Johannesburg-based and available for remote or local freelance collaborations. Let's discuss how I can support your next project with precision and professionalism!
