BIM as a design instrument.
BIM is more than documentation. It is a way of thinking, making decisions visible and consistently connecting design, data and construction.
With experience across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Daniel leads multidisciplinary teams through complex projects. He combines design ambition with technical depth, clear agreements and direct collaboration with clients, consultants and contractors.
