Melissa Sicat
@melissasicat
I create buildable Australian residential documentation, BIM models, and clear submission-ready designs.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I've supported Australian residential projects at ABE Architecture Outsourced, producing documentation for DA, CDC, and CC submissions across extensions, alterations, additions, high-end homes, and interiors.
I prepare coordinated architectural drawings that meet local planning requirements, NCC provisions, Australian Standards, and BASIX energy, water, and thermal performance measures.
I build Archicad models, integrate structural plans, identify clashes, create D5 renders, and carry out detailed quality checks so drawings and models are accurate and ready to issue.
As Team Lead, I delegate work, track budgets and timelines, lead client discussions, coordinate with consultants, suppliers, and builders, and develop SOPs and workflows that support practical project delivery.
