"REALIZING A MORE EFFICIENT AND FOR THE CLIENT A BETTER FITTING DESIGN THROUGH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS IS MY MOTIVATION."

Ever since my childhood I have been fascinated by this and my interest lies mainly in expressing my creativity in engineering. And that is at the same time my goal: to realize a more efficient and, for the customer, better connecting design through creative solutions. I do this mainly by designing in an integral/BIM environment and sparring with other project partners to come to an integral design.
This method gives the client insight into the design and its functionality at an early stage, reduces failure costs in the implementation process and makes the building future-proof.

I have been working at Valstar Simonis since 2010, designing building-related, primarily mechanical, installations. From that same moment I started to master the BIM "way of life", herein lies my strength, with many beautiful, completed projects as a result. Including the Koningsberger building of the University of Utrecht, the House of the Province in Arnhem, Wageningen University Orion and the Dutch Open Air Museum.

Currently I am involved in the renovation and design of Paleis het Loo and the University Medical Center in Utrecht. Furthermore, I am part of the BIM Taskforce team within Valstar Simonis, and train other 'Bimmers'.
