Founder of Exceptional BIM

Mar 2020 - Jan 2023
Education in the built environment does not need to start with a specialist degree or on the job training. Countless studies have shown that if we teach the principals to open their minds with the approach to involve a curriculum development that demonstrates a progression through academia and into the workplace, with clearly defined ladders that show a route to a successful and worthwhile career or occupation. The exceptional BIM foundation is a movement to provide learners with the opportunities to develop their fullest potential throughout life, regardless of their starting points. Through this movement, the skills, passion, and contributions of every individual will drive a digital built environment next phase of development towards an advanced global economy and inclusive society. https://www.exceptionalbim.com/ Show less

Collaborative Business Manager

Sep 2008 - Oct 2014
As a Collaborative Business Manager, I managed the Viewpoint 4Projects portfolio for Construction Computer Software( CCS) in South Africa. Part of my role with CCS in South Africa was to also develop BIM integration and support any client initiatives using CCS Candy estimating software. My reason for leaving was due to the acquisition of CCS by EOH which I chose not to be a part of.
