About
Licensed civil engineer running my own practice in Milan, Italy (SLAB.engineering). I take building projects from survey to permit, construction and handover, and I support engineering firms and international clients remotely with clear, revision-controlled deliverables in written English.
WHAT I DO
Structural engineering
- Design and verification of reinforced concrete, steel, timber and masonry elements (NTC 2018, Eurocodes)
- Assessment and strengthening of existing buildings (NTC 2018 ch. 8), including openings in load-bearing walls and seismic upgrades
- Foundations and soil-structure interaction; excavation and retaining works support
BIM and CAD
- Revit models, including scan-to-BIM from laser point clouds
- AutoCAD construction drawings and details; Civil 3D surfaces, alignments and earthworks
- Navisworks coordination and clash detection
Surveys, permits and construction
- Building surveys with total station and 3D laser scanner (Leica BLK)
- Quantity take-offs, bills of quantities and cost estimates
- Building permits and compliance under Italian law
- Works direction and construction safety coordination (qualified CSP/CSE)
Infrastructure support
- Sub-consultant to infrastructure firms: tunnel portal design drawings, road-tunnel safety assessments, excavation and slope modelling
WHO I WORK WITH
- Engineering and architecture firms that need extra structural, BIM or drafting capacity
- International clients who own, buy or renovate property in Italy and need a local engineer they can talk to in English
- Contractors and developers needing quantities, schedules and site support
HOW I WORK
Clear scope agreed before starting, defined milestones, regular updates and files you can use straight away (DWG, RVT, IFC, PDF). More than 150 commissions managed end-to-end since 2019.
Languages: Italian (native), English (fluent).
