As BIM referent, I was in charge of creating BIM standards for Engie Axima. This involved defining internal standards, reading BIM conventions, helping project managers and training draughtsmen in Revit software.
I was also involved in spatial coordination and setting up internal BIM processes on the company's first major BIM project: TGI Paris.

Participation in several projects of varying scale and difficulty: Military building, EPHAD, Koutio Hospital, Ritz Paris.
On the Koutio hospital, my role was to take part in drawing up the 2D plans using AutoCAD, as well as the 3D modelling of certain technical rooms using AutoCAD MEP software. I was also responsible for dimensioning duct and pipe supports and creating the AutoCAD library of dynamic blocks for all the draughtsmen.
On the Ritz project, my role was to produce all the 2D and 3D plans for the project, and to manage the spatial coordination meetings in order to coordinate our ducts and pipes as closely as possible with the existing buildings and the other contractors.
Alongside my design work, I worked with the innovation and development unit to provide all the office's technicians with automated tasks in Lisp, whatever their project.
