Architectural
Shop Drawings
My experience in this field began with the manual (hand) drafting of cabinet shop drawings for a residential construction company.
These are drawings that the manufacturing shop would use to fabricate and assemble casework units. I have produced shop drawings for both residential and institutional projects.
Plan Sets
Later, I would work on drawing and revising architectural plans, sections, and details for a new medical campus consisting of 3 main buildings.
CAD/BIM
CAD experience was gained while learning + using AutoCAD v9 (1993) on the job. I was able to develop proficiency with all AutoDesk AutoCAD versions up until 2009.
It was in 2009 that I was first introduced to Building Information Modeling (BIM) with AutoDesk Revit and used it for several conceptual projects.
Blueprint Literacy
Blueprint literacy is the ability to read + understand construction documents.
This includes deciphering plan sets and the cross-referencing of Project Spec Books.
