Apr 2023 - Present
In my new role with Skywrite Group, I will continue to help clients as a VDC Technician. I will also be involved in helping existing clients plan new projects as well as helping new clients understand how virtual design can be incorporated into their building design phase for long-term profitability. I will be assisting with RFPs and other decision-making processes where a perspective of installability from a field-experienced professional is valued.Using my experience in instruction, I am able to bring clarity of VDC/BIM to executives that may not realize the impact it can have on their upcoming capital projects.
