Alexei, Niloofar
## Key Points
- Project technology manager at Corgan (architecture firm) — role is to adopt new technology for the firm
- Not a decision maker; her bosses are senior and scared of AI ("Will make life easier, pay you for 8 hours a day and you do it in 2 hours")
- Background: graduated 2017, worked with contractors and engineers before this role
- Previously at ARCO (Design Build Contractor) — they were adding 40 services to team, using ACC for 4D scheduling
- ARCO had software engineers in-house but focused on internal workflows, not building apps
## Pain Points Mentioned
- Clash detection overload: projects can generate 60,000 issues — figuring out which are critical is the real problem
- Suggested a 2D drawing heat map showing where clashes concentrate — "makes your life super easy"
- Multi-family coordination: fix one unit, replicate everywhere — that coordination is her responsibility
- Previous employer (ARCO): old school superintendents using paper on jobsites, very hard to get them to adopt digital tools
- Time for cost estimation is a recurring pain
## Product Feedback
- QA/QC process includes: clash detection in Navisworks, visual model reviews in Revit with section boxes/filters, metadata validation, sheet/title block review
- Uses Dynamo scripting for parameter validation — wishes for an easier way to get element data
- Coordination for a single project: ~60h total (meetings, emails, BIM execution plan)
- 2D review is roughly 1/4 of QA/QC time (more consulting-oriented)
- Reaction to pitch: "It's revolutionary. Didn't think about the way you are thinking about it. You are seeing it as a whole."
- Tool to prioritize issues would be high value: "Time is money. Our job is to save money and time."
