Over the last 10 years, I have been involved in the tender stages of projects, working on viable installation strategies. The design and buildability to make sure that our design is creating a product we can install effectively. Finally, I worked on-site in the delivery of the projects developing the installation access and equipment.

General Notes

Over the last 30 years, I have worked in the façade industry, endeavouring to keep ahead of the advancements in the industry. This resulted in 2004 realising that understanding 3D software would be critical for me to move forward in the industry. Since then, I challenged myself to keep up to date with the tools required to install the building and investigate and explain to others what is required. I am competent in various 3D software & graphical packages and have used the information available to design access and methodologies in 3D, minimising the risk when starting on-site.

 Hobbies

From years of training and learning 3D software, I have reached a level of diminishing returns. With that in mind, I needed some new challenges; a natural progression was 3D printing, which I have taken up using resin and filament, making my models for printing. To keep a life-work balance, I have also spent the last few years uncovering magic secrets and opening up a new bottomless pit. Finally, with the time left, I have a great fondness for photography.

Software Knowledge

Good working knowledge of all Microsoft Products, including MS Project, all ADOBE Products, 3D Software including Navisworks, 3D Max, Modo, Lightwave & Rhino and a basic working knowledge of Revit
