@rafaelcmara
I deliver OBC-compliant BIM documentation and coordinated architectural projects using Revit and ACC.
What I'm looking for
At CS&P Architects, I produce coordinated OBC-compliant drawing sets and Revit/ACC model outputs for retail rollouts and high-rise residential documentation, while developing Revit API tools that automate firm workflows.
I've delivered residential, institutional, retail, healthcare, educational, and public infrastructure projects across Canada and Brazil, from feasibility and schematic design through permits, tender packages, and construction documents. As a licensed architect in Brazil and OAA Intern Architect in Toronto, I bring advanced Revit, Scan-to-BIM, consultant coordination, visualization, and teaching experience to practical, well-documented design delivery.
