Ronny Powers

Senior Architectural Drafter and BIM/Revit Specialist with 10+ years of experience producing coordinated, buildable permit and Issued-for-Construction (IFC) drawing packages for custom homes, renovations, additions, interior remodels, and light commercial projects. Advanced user of Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD with hands-on expertise in BIM modeling, existing conditions and as-built documentation, demolition and proposed plans, RCPs, elevations, sections, details, schedules, millwork, and architectural-MEP coordination. Experienced in permit submittals, drawing QA/QC, document control, code-aware documentation, RFI support, and translating design with intent into coordinated, contractor-ready construction documents.

Skilled in coordinating architectural, structural, MEP, and specialty models using Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360. Experienced in federated-model setup, clash detection, issue tracking, model-quality control, and facilitating coordination meetings to resolve design conflicts. Strong knowledge of BIM standards, ISO 19650-aligned information-management practices, IFC model exchange, and Common Data Environment workflows.

Detail-oriented collaborator with a strong understanding of construction processes and a proactive approach to prevent coordination issues.

• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit for BIM modeling, linked-model coordination, documentation, templates, and model maintenance.
• Hands-on experience with Navisworks Manage for federated-model review, clash testing, issue reporting, and coordination workflows.
• Performed clash detection and clash-avoidance reviews across architectural, structural, and MEP models; coordinated resolutions with discipline teams.
• Reviewed discipline models for consistency, completeness, constructability, and compliance with established BIM execution plans and project standards.
• Managed daily model administration, including model uploads, version control, permissions, coordination folders, and federated-model maintenance.
• Developed and enforced BIM standards, modeling conventions, view templates, content requirements, and drawing coordination procedures.
• Used Autodesk collaborative platforms, including Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and BIM 360, for cloud model sharing, Model Coordination, document control, issue tracking, and team collaboration.
• Supported Revit users with technical troubleshooting, model setup, linked-file coordination, and best practices for collaborative workflows.
• Applied ISO 19650 information-management principles and Common Data Environment workflows to control project information and model exchanges.
• Supported IFC-based information exchange and provided technical BIM support to improve interoperability, collaboration, and model quality.

Architectural Designer / Revit Technician at Furman + Keil Architects (2018-05 – 2021-09)

• Created accurate Revit base models from PDFs, legacy CAD files, site measurements, and existing-condition information for residential renovation projects.
• Supported permit-ready drawing sets under licensed architects, including plans, RCPs, elevations, sections, details, and door and window schedules.
• Developed space plans for open-concept residential layouts, kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas with attention to circulation, clearances, accessibility, and constructability.
• Coordinated architectural layouts with structural concepts, lighting, electrical power, plumbing fixtures, appliance locations, furniture plans, and soffit conditions.
• Applied redlines, managed drawing revisions, and participated in coordination reviews to resolve documentation and constructability issues.
• Maintained Revit and CAD standards while supporting schematic studies, presentation drawings, consultant coordination, and milestone-based delivery.
• Verified drawing and model information against required Level of Information Need (LOIN) requirements and project deliverable standards.
• Used Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Coordination to support cloud-based model review, issue tracking, and collaboration among remote project teams.
• Applied ISO 19650-based information-management principles, including controlled information exchange, naming conventions, revision tracking, and Common Data Environment workflows.
• Supported IFC-based model exchange and reviewed exported model data to improve interoperability between BIM authoring and coordination platforms.
• Identified potential coordination risks early and implemented proactive clash-avoidance strategies to reduce rework, delays, and field conflicts.
• Worked closely with project managers, architects, engineers, and contractors to maintain accurate, coordinated, and construction-ready BIM deliverables.

Junior Architectural Technologist / CAD Designer at Independent Architecture (2015-11 – 2018-04)

• Prepared AutoCAD floor plans, elevations, sections, construction details, schedules, legends, and title blocks for residential renovation and light commercial projects.
• Converted hand sketches, field measurements, as-built information, client feedback, and consultant markups into accurate CAD documentation.
• Produced dimensioned plans, exterior elevations, and basic sections to clarify opening coordination, floor and roof relationships, and construction intent.
• Supported Revit model setup, maintained organized drawing files and layer standards, and incorporated engineering markups into architectural drawing sets.
• Assisted senior designers with multiple concurrent projects, plotting, sheet setup, revision updates, and internal QA review comments.
