Skills

Architecture (concept design, tender documents)

Architectural expertise

• Assisting the client and the general contractor in defining requirements: building type, technical and aesthetic choices for materials (ventilated Alucobond or HPL facades, drywall ceilings, split or cassette air conditioning, flexible SPC or porcelain tile flooring)...

• Preparation of administrative documentation: compiling and tracking legal documents (company bylaws, building permits, etc.).

• Development of technical documentation: Preliminary Design (APS), Detailed Design (APD), Construction Drawings (PC), Construction Plans (EXE), bill of materials, Tender Documents (DCE), Environmental Impact Statements (DPGF/DQE), and construction schedules.

• Site supervision and coordination: organizing and leading weekly meetings, verifying that work complies with the contract, managing additional work, and ensuring deadlines are met.

Landscaping

Creating natural settings that showcase flowers, ornamental plants, and decorative waterfalls. Ability to design inviting spaces that balance functionality and landscape aesthetics.

Granite Paving

Expertise in using granite to create walkways, patios, edging, and decorative elements, as well as for facade cladding and countertops. Harmonious integration of granite into landscape designs featuring flowers, waterfalls, and green spaces.

Ventilation and Air Conditioning

As an interior designer, I have gained an understanding of air conditioning and its functional role within a building.

Metalwork (from bill of materials to fabrication)

Proficiency in metalwork comes naturally to me, a skill developed in both the construction and automotive industries, including the design and installation of ventilated facades.

Aluminum and Glazing

With the current trend toward globalization, materials such as melamine, PVC, and various types of glazing are being used more and more, while energy resources are becoming increasingly scarce. The use of large floor-to-ceiling windows has now become the standard in contemporary architectural projects. In this context, it is essential for industry professionals to adapt and engage in continuous learning. Ventilated facades, particularly valued for their acoustic and thermal performance, also represent a modern and sustainable solution that meets new market demands.

Customer Relations

Win over the customer by offering the best possible experience in order to build a strong and lasting relationship of trust, which naturally fosters customer loyalty.

Melamine Panels (Installation Bill of Materials)

Through my work at companies such as Mobalpa and Snaidero, I have gained and developed solid experience in melamine materials and related installation techniques, while using HPL panels to create modern and sustainable facades.
