Available to hire
Hi, I’m Elvis Ekwegbo, a meticulous and performance-driven architecture and BIM professional with over eight years of experience in architectural design and technical documentation. I specialize in creating precise fabrication, permit, and erection drawings using Revit, Rhino, and Dynamo, with a strong focus on adhering to design specifications and manufacturing constraints. I enjoy collaborating with interdisciplinary teams in fully remote settings to deliver high-quality results across projects in the UK, UAE, Egypt, Dubai, and Nigeria.
I excel at managing tight schedules, solving field problems efficiently, and resolving complex detailing challenges to ensure on-time milestone delivery. My experience spans facade refinement, high-rise design, sustainable transport infrastructure, and energy-optimized commercial developments, where I drive BIM coordination, clash detection, and BEP alignment with ISO 19650 standards.
