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."
