BIM Model Development & Coordination
Developed a detailed structural BIM model using Tekla Structures based on contract drawings. Interpreted slab edge geometry and Top Of Slab Elevation data to ensure alignment with design intent and coordination across structural systems.
Multi-level parking structure at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, CA, featuring coordinated structural framing and integrated building systems.
BIM model developed on Tekla Structures was translated into detailed construction drawings for coordination and field execution.

Coordination & Clash Resolution using Navisworks
Performed clash detection and interdisciplinary coordination to identify and resolve conflicts between structural and MEP systems during preconstruction.
Stair Railing Conflict
Railing conflict with structural spandrel beams at stair landings required coordination between structural steel and architectural systems to maintain clearances and connection detailing.
Blade Wall Opening
Conflict identified between barrier cable routing and blade wall assembly required introduction of wall openings and coordination across disciplines to maintain system continuity.
