Outcomes, not deliverables

A sample of recent BIM, AI, and software engagements.

AI · Estimation

Automated takeoff engine

A vision pipeline that reads marked-up PDFs and Revit models to produce quantity takeoffs in minutes instead of days.

92%less manual takeoff time
Plugin · Revit

Automatic dimensioning engine

Automatically places and aligns dimension strings across plans, sections, and details — turning hours of manual drafting into a single pass.

85%less manual dimensioning
Product · Glazing

Glazr

A glazing-industry estimating and coordination tool that unifies takeoffs, pricing, and shop-drawing coordination into one connected workflow.

03 — ABOUT

A one-person BIM software studio

No account managers, no handoffs — you work directly with the person writing the code and building the models.

I got tired of watching great firms lose hours to manual, repetitive work. So I build the models, the plugins, and the AI that give those hours back.

I'm an independent BIM specialist and software engineer, fluent in both the Revit API and the jobsite. From a single add-in to a full estimating tool, I partner with architects, engineers, and contractors one-on-one — always encoding your standards, so the output looks like it came from your office.

Working solo means you get senior-level work on every line — and a single point of contact from first call to final delivery.

Questions, answered

Don't see yours? Book a call and we'll talk specifics.

Primarily Revit and the wider Autodesk stack (Navisworks, AutoCAD, Forma), plus Rhino/Grasshopper and IFC-based open workflows. If your team standardizes on something else, we'll meet you there.
Yes. We start by learning how your firm models and documents, then encode those standards into our deliverables and any tooling we build — so the output looks like it came from your office, not ours.
With a short discovery sprint. We map a repetitive, high-volume workflow, prototype against your real data, and only scale to production once the value is proven.
Absolutely — we work as an embedded extension of your VDC or software team, or as a fully independent delivery partner. Whatever fits the project.
Plugin and software work is usually fixed-scope or sprint-based; modeling and consulting can be project or retainer based. Book a call and we'll give you a clear quote after understanding the scope.
