  ● Managed Digital MEP 3D models from inputs such as CAD & PDF for better visualizations and multidisciplinary coordinated models to avoid site conflicts based on required level of details (LOD).● Collaborated with diverse stakeholders in coordination meetings, actually addressing challenges identified in BIM models. This collaborative approach resulted in a significant 30% cost reduction, showcasing the ability to foster cooperation and problem-solving within multidisciplinary teams.● Developed MEP Revit 3D models, to support 4D simulations to optimize construction schedules, and prepared quantity takeoffs for cost estimation.● Proficient in the scan to BIM process, from handling scanners to acquire site conditions to developing Revit models using point cloud data for Asset Information management and construction progress monitoring (CPM).● Documented project information for BIM implementations, such as CDE, BIM execution plans, MIDP, and TIDP.● Created project-related Site visit reports, clash reports, RFI reports, MOM, Sectional drawings, and Change reports.● Prepared detailed sheets and floor plans for As-Built models in order to attain a better understanding of the space planning process.● Took the initiative to incorporate advanced point cloud technology (Trimble X7 & Leica RTC 360) for data acquisition, enhancing the accuracy of MEP as-built models and asset management. This proactive adoption of new tools demonstrates a willingness to innovate and drive efficiency in project processes. Show less

  Jul 2023 - Aug 2023

  Throughout the internship, I delved into the world of project planning and gained invaluable insights into various aspects of project management. From crafting a robust project charter to mastering the art of creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), I've honed skills that are essential for successful project execution.One of the highlights of this journey was learning to create a RACI matrix, a fundamental tool for clarifying roles and responsibilities within a project team. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience in developing Gantt charts and project schedules, vital components in ensuring the smooth flow of projects from inception to completion. Show less

Show less In this study, we present an overview of various nanomaterials used in buildings, providing representative information to assist researchers in comparing the usage of these materials in construction. Additionally, it is important to highlight the advantages of thermal performance that can be obtained with nanomaterials, but also disadvantages related to human health and environmental impact. This information will help readers gain a better understanding of the current offerings and identify possible areas for improvement in the future for better implementation of nanotechnology in the construction industry. Show less This project explores the performance analysis of a hotel building using Revit and Insight 360 software. Through energy, shadow, lighting, solar radiation, and daylight analyses, along with an assessment of environmental impacts using One Click LCA, the study aims to optimize the building's design for efficiency and sustainability.The analysis conducted with Revit and Insight 360 revealed insights into energy consumption patterns, solar exposure, lighting distribution, and daylight penetration within the hotel. Additionally, One Click LCA provided a comprehensive view of the building's environmental footprint. These findings offer actionable recommendations for improving energy efficiency, optimizing lighting design, managing solar heat gain, and enhancing sustainability. The project is a valuable resource for architects and stakeholders seeking data-driven insights to create more efficient and environmentally conscious hotel buildings.Keywords: Energy Analysis Model, Shadow Analysis, Lighting Analysis, Solar Analysis, Carbon Emissions, Revit, Insight 360, One Click LCA Show less
