What I Deliver
.png "NOTE")
BIM Governance
Coordination
BIM Team Building
I define the BIM strategy, author the BEP, establish the CDE, and ensure contractual obligations are met throughout the project lifecycle — whether the infrastructure exists when I arrive or needs to be built from zero.
I manage incoming models from engineering contractors and specialist subcontractors, run clash detection and resolution, and maintain coordination continuity even when upstream design packages keep changing.
I assess resource requirements before committing, build teams calibrated to project scale, and establish protocols that outlast my engagement. I don't just deliver — I leave a functioning BIM environment behind.
Project Track Record
03
01
02
€90M Infrastructure — Italy
Kuwait & Moscow — Nikken
Tokyo — AXS Satow
Three-year delivery of a four-venue cultural complex including a 2,000-seat theatre in Takasaki. Subsequently produced the BIM model of Tokyo Big Sight (55,000 sqm) from original 2D drawings in four days under Olympic deadline pressure.
Joined with no BIM infrastructure in place. Built the entire function on a live construction site — hardware procurement, CDE setup on ACC and Dalux, team training, subcontractor coordination, and AS-built model management. Managed four mechanical design iterations across 18 months without losing clash detection continuity.
Embedded within Nikken Sekkei — one of the world's largest architectural practices — on a 127m residential tower in Kuwait City and a seven-building riverside complex in Moscow. Governed outsourced model production, enforced BEP compliance, and managed international client-facing coordination meetings.
HOW I WORK
Embedded. Governance-first. Wherever the project is.
I work on an embedded project basis — on-site or hybrid, typically 12 to 24 months minimum, renewable by project phase.
Before committing I assess resource requirements, agree scope of authority, and establish what BIM infrastructure exists or needs to be built. A BIM Manager without adequate team resourcing becomes a bottleneck, not an asset — so I make this conversation happen upfront, for both our sakes.
I learned how to work in the US, not in Italy. I upgraded in Japan. That sequence shaped everything about how I approach a project — the directness, the precision, the expectation that things are done properly the first time.
Available for immediate relocation internationally. Notice period: one week.

WHO I AM
20 years building BIM where it didn't exist.
I started my career on construction sites in Italy, managing works before digital tools were standard. I moved to the US and UK, where I learned a different way of working — direct, delivery-focused, no excuses. Then I spent nine years in Japan, where I upgraded everything — precision, quality obsession, cross-cultural communication, technical excellence at a level most European professionals never encounter.
That sequence shaped how I approach every project. I don't just manage BIM. I build it where it doesn't exist, govern it where it's broken, and leave it running when I'm done.
Career Milestones
Italy - the Foundation
Construction sites, safety coordination, technical direction. Learning to deliver under pressure before digital tools existed.
US & UK - A Different Standard
Lived and worked abroad. Learned directness, delivery focus, and a professional culture that Italy doesn't teach.
Japan — Nine Years
Three years at AXS Satow delivering a four-venue cultural complex and producing the Tokyo Big Sight BIM model under Olympic deadline pressure. Then a Taisei Corporation satellite office, independent BIM consultancy in Tokyo, and guest contributor to JFMA BIM guideline development — sitting alongside leadership from NTT, Taisei, and JP Railway. Joined Nikken Sekkei Group for international developer projects in Kuwait and Moscow, governing outsourced model production and managing client-facing coordination across multiple countries. I was doing BIM management before it was a certified profession. That's not a boast — it's context for why I approach governance the way I do.
Early Stages
02
01
Project Manager
Site Construction
I stepped onto a construction site at 17, during my last year of school. Commercial facilities, pre-cast concrete, a 700-person construction company. I learned what building actually means before I ever touched a drawing tool.
Budget, Gantt charts, deadlines — inside a large Italian construction company managing public projects lasting over a year. I learned that delivery is the only thing that matters.

BIM Maturity
Health and Safety Coordinator
Qualified as CSP/CSE under D.Lgs. 81/08. Safety coordination taught me to read a construction site as a system — every trade, every risk, every dependency.
In 2009 I started designing directly in Revit — skipping the AutoCAD drafting path entirely. I never looked back. That decision shaped everything that followed
