Work Format: Remote / Contract (B2B) | Open to relocation / international projects

Professional Summary

Results-driven BIM/VDC Coordinator and Technical Estimator with extensive hands-on experience as a Construction Site Foreman and Engineering Manager. I bridge the gap between design documentation and real-world site execution by combining 3D clash detection, MEP/HVAC routing coordination, and accurate Material Takeoffs (MTO).
My field background guarantees constructability: I identify hard and clearance clashes before installation begins, verify elevation levels, check maintenance access, and perform HVAC/ACMV airflow and acoustic reviews to prevent pressure drops and excessive noise.

Key Achievements & Project Impact

• Pre-Construction Clash Resolution: Coordinated Architectural, Structural, and MEP/HVAC models across complex residential, hospitality (SPA & wellness), and commercial projects, reducing on-site installation rework by 30%+ through early 3D clash detection in Navisworks.
• Accurate Estimation & Cost Control: Delivered 100% verified Material Takeoffs (MTO/BOQ) for ductwork, piping, drywall systems, and complex finishing works, eliminating material shortages and cutting waste by 7–10%.
• Workflow Automation: Developed custom rule-based auditing scripts (Python/C#) to automate design-to-MEP compliance checks, ductwork velocity/noise verification, and automated report generation.

Core Competencies & Experience

• 3D Clash Detection & VDC Coordination: Federated model assembly in Autodesk Navisworks Manage (RVT, DWG, SKP, IFC). Running Hard and Clearance clash tests (LOD 300–400), managing RFIs, and generating actionable HTML/PDF clash reports.
• HVAC / ACMV Engineering & Airflow Analysis: Ductwork sizing, pressure drop calculation, damper balancing, and acoustic (noise level) verification using MagiCAD (for AutoCAD/Revit) and SimScale CFD airflow distribution analysis.
• Rapid 2D-to-3D Modeling & Shop Drawings: Converting 2D CAD layouts and interior design projects into detailed 3D models using AutoCAD and SketchUp Pro. Detailing MEP penetrations (Builderswork Openings), suspended ceilings, expansion joints, staircases, and high-end wet areas (pools, hammams, large-format tiling).
• Quantity Takeoff (QTO) & Field Surveying: Extracting linear lengths, surface areas, and material volumes via Navisworks Quantification, SketchUp, and Excel. Experienced with digital laser surveying (Leica S910) for as-built verification, axis layout, and elevation control.

Technical Skills

• BIM & Coordination: Autodesk Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Revit (Model Audit, Schedules, NWC/IFC Export), Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360), Bluebeam Revu, OpenBIM / IFC.

• CAD & 3D Modeling: AutoCAD, SketchUp Pro (Profile Builder, Quantifier Pro), Staircon 5.6.
• Automation & Data: MS Excel, Google Sheets, Python / C# scripting for BIM auditing and automated email processing.
• Languages: Russian (Native), English (Technical / Working proficiency in CAD/BIM & Construction terminology).
