Profile summary

BIM workflows, automation, and data for Australian buildings, data centres, and infrastructure.

7+ years, with recent delivery weighted to Australia. I own REAL, which reads Revit parameters and charts the CO2 of constructing a building, and GDC Str Tools, a Revit add-in that automates day-to-day modelling and drawings. Coordination still runs on ACC / BIM 360 and Navisworks.

GDC Str Tools

Revit add-in I own. Daily modelling and drawing production, without the click-loop.

REAL

CO2 of the build, from Revit parameters, on a chart dashboard.

Standards & coordination

BEP, templates, and ACC federation the next person can run.

Focus: treat BIM as a system — standards, automation, and data that scale with the workload, and stay clear to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Work History
Aurecon

Consultant, Digital Modelling

Aurecon

18/04/2022 - Present (4 years 5 months)
  • Owner of REAL: embodied CO2 of a building, calculated from Revit parameter data and shown on a chart dashboard.
  • Owner of GDC Str Tools: a Revit add-in that automates day-to-day modelling and drawing production so the same work is faster and more consistent.
  • Member of SMLR Developers — Aurecon's global team building Revit streamliner tools and internal automation.
  • Recent delivery is weighted to Australia — hybrid timber, phased high-rises, and building work with Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide teams. Data-centre work covers raft footings and precast walls. Earlier tunnels and MRT were in Singapore.
  • Built Power Automate flows and API integrations across Revit, SharePoint, Outlook, and approval systems, and prototyped AI checks inside those workflows.
  • Coordinated multi-disciplinary models on BIM 360 / ACC, including Navisworks clash review where the project needed it.
  • Ran QA reviews and short knowledge-sharing sessions so model health did not sit with one person.
Hazama Ando

BIM Leader Operator

Hazama Ando Vietnam

01/12/2018 - 01/04/2022 (3 years 4 months)
  • Led BIM team by translating 2D data from Japan into 3D Revit models.
  • Coordinated clash detection and model review using Autodesk Navisworks.
  • Developed automation scripts (Dynamo, Revit API) to boost modelling efficiency.
  • Set up BIM workflows and ensured compliance with project standards.
  • Provided technical guidance and clear direction to team members.
  • Resolved moderate-scope technical challenges with practical solutions.
  • Contributed to standardising templates, model content, and delivery processes.
Selected Projects
Six pieces of work. Client names stay off the page.
Data centres
Structural BIM · raft and precast

Structural Revit for mission-critical data centres, including raft footings and precast walls. Day-to-day modelling and drawings on this kind of repetitive scope run through GDC Str Tools.

Revit
Precast
Tunnels · Singapore
Federation, clash checks, segment tools

Structural BIM for launch shaft and mined tunnel sections with the Singapore engineering team. Federation lived on ACC. Clash checks were scripted in Navisworks instead of walked by hand, and tunnel-segment modelling used a repeatable tool rather than a one-off family.

ACC

Hybrid timber · Australia
Model, coordination, connection tools

Concrete, steel, and engineered timber on an Australian building, coordinated across disciplines. Parametric families and a small set of connection tools kept the timber work consistent.

Coordination
High-rise · three live phases
Phasing, naming, view templates

Existing, early works, and new construction in one Revit federation. Phasing, naming, and view templates meant each contributor only opened the phase they owned.

Templates

Phasing
Underground MRT station
Structure with architecture and MEP

Structural BIM for an underground station, coordinated with architecture and MEP against the project’s MRT requirements. Checks sat in the workflow, not in a separate cleanup week.

Commercial building · RC and post-tension
Documentation and Revit API

Reinforced concrete, post-tension, and secondary steel through tender-level documentation. Revit API tools handled batch updates and parameters so the drawing set stayed consistent when the deadline compressed.
