Summary

As a plumbing designer I applied my 17+ years of plumbing design experience and my Revit training to deliver high-quality and cost-effective solutions for commercial and residential projects. I worked with a team of engineers, architects, and contractors to coordinate and integrate plumbing systems into the overall design and construction of various buildings and facilities. My core competencies include piping design, pipe sizing, plumbing code compliance, and plumbing system testing and troubleshooting. I am proficient in using computer-aided design and drafting software, such as AutoCAD and Revit, to create and modify plumbing drawings and models. I am also familiar with the latest industry standards and best practices for plumbing design and installation. My mission is to ensure the safety, functionality, and sustainability of plumbing systems, while meeting the needs and expectations of clients.
