Bio
Douglas Showers
Ravi joined our company to lead the diversified Cad staff. He took that task to heart and along with providing superior cad operational skills, he set to bring together the personalities and skill sets of a very diversified and multi-cultural team. I was impressed with Ravi's calm but persistent personality. He sought to bring the team into an era of 3D cad for COWI. I would highly recommend Ravi, not only for his exceptional Cad skills but for his vision and leadership skills. Douglas Showers

Ravi Nair was the Qatar Central Planning Office CAD and BIM Manager. He was very experienced and professional across all the required disciplines of metro, rail, road, tunnel, bridge and utilities drawings and knew the CAD/ BIM tools and processes well. He recruited and managed staff well and was very adept at balancing drawing demand with the supply of resources to deliver on time and quality drawings and data in a very demanding client environment. A pleasure to work with him.
