Summary
Four years at WRA Architects — intern to BIM Coordinator — at a Texas firm that does K-12 education exclusively. In the coordinator role, I own the systems every project runs on: Revit template, ACC administration, family library, model compliance review, and BIM training. I also do the field work most coordinators don’t: NavVis VLX and Leica BLK ARC laser scanning, point cloud processing, and scan-to-BIM integration on active renovation projects. That combination — firm-level infrastructure plus hands-on reality capture — is what this portfolio documents.
Experience
BIM Coordinator · WRA Architects · Plano, TX
Jan 2024 – Present
- Administer Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) as Project Admin on all active WRA projects — sole point of contact for consultant access, design collaboration setup, and model permission management across the firm portfolio
- Maintain the Revit template that propagates wall types, view templates, annotation families, shared parameters, and drawing standards to every new project automatically; updates propagate firm-wide
- Administer the firm’s family library (Content Catalogue, replacing UNIFI firm-wide); manage family uploads, naming standards, and door/window library maintenance
- Run cross-project model compliance reviews — flag non-standard worksets, view naming violations, stray geometry, and missing parameters before they reach consultants
- Serve as first-response Revit troubleshooting support for all production staff across modeling, view setup, worksets, linked files, families, sheets, and schedules
- Built the firm’s reality capture program from the ground up — selected equipment, developed field and processing workflows, and delivered scan-to-BIM on active renovation projects using NavVis VLX and Leica BLK ARC; manage scan processing, registration, E57 conversion via ReCap Pro, and site access coordination
- Conduct UAV site documentation as FAA Part 107 pilot across 200+ construction sites — mission planning in DJI Terra, aerial data acquisition, and point cloud processing for construction progress monitoring and as-built documentation
- Built a 5-script pyRevit automation toolkit deployed as a firm ribbon extension: COBie family compliance checker, 9-point model compliance auditor, room number validator, cartoon set generator, and shared parameter batch binder
- Developed a COBie delivery workflow for K-12 projects: shared parameter setup in Revit, completeness scoring, and Autodesk Tandem API integration for FM data handoff at project closeout
- Maintain a self-directed BIM training curriculum covering all project phases, firm tools, and drawing standards —100+ pages of structured reference material developed for personal professional development
