Architect | Connecting Design, BIM & Construction | IIT Roorkee

About

I work at the intersection of architectural design, BIM, and construction, with an interest in making design information clearer, more coordinated, and practical to build. An architecture graduate from IIT Roorkee, I have developed my experience at Total Environment through residential master planning, site-based interior execution, and scalable modular residential design. This progression has shaped how I approach architecture: considering planning decisions, technical interfaces, and construction details together. My hands-on BIM experience includes Revit, clash detection, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), interoperability tools, pyRevit add-ins, and Autodesk Advance Steel. I have worked with BIM standards and BIM Execution Plans, and coordinated structural and MEP inputs in support of LOD 400 execution planning. In my current role, I contribute to modular residential design, standard details, and reusable detail libraries. I bring lessons from site execution into design documentation, with a focus on consistency and constructability. Earlier site experience across residential towers and villas gave me a practical understanding of interior finishes, services, joinery, waterproofing, and material interfaces. Working with engineers, contractors, vendors, and design teams strengthened my ability to recognise coordination gaps and contribute to their resolution. My background also includes inclusive design research and visual communication leadership at IIT Roorkee. These experiences influence how I consider users, communicate complex information, and collaborate across disciplines. I am interested in opportunities in BIM coordination and digital delivery where architectural judgement, multidisciplinary collaboration, and thoughtful use of technology contribute to better project outcomes.
