Bassem Amin

• With over twenty-five years of experience in the AEC industry, Bassem has expertly led and advanced design and construction technologies for architecture, MEP engineering, project management, and construction firms. His leadership extends from the pre-design and construction stages through to facility management. 
• Bassem successfully established the core foundations of BIM at TKB Architects and Cosentini MEP Engineering. He spearheaded the implementation and enhancement of all BIM standards, processes, tools, and libraries, and trained staff in their application. He works closely with project teams to ensure seamless BIM integration, troubleshoot and resolve issues, teach best practices and workflows, run clash detection reports, and coordinate models. 
• Bassem's robust computer skills and proven expertise in VDC presentations, 3D visualization, 4D project schedule simulation, and 5D cost-estimating animations significantly enhance project outcomes. He integrates data on energy consumption, sustainability, and environmental impact, developing LOD500 as-built models to extend BIM data for use in facility management and maintenance post-construction.
