Background
Mr. Goktepe is a highly skilled BIM Specialist who has been involved in the building & construction industry since 2020, when he first got involved in volunteer building design projects through apprenticeship programs. He has taken his experience from such avenues to develop his knowledge and understanding of a building’s components. This has allowed him to possess a strong comprehension of 3D spatial configurations when it comes to architectural and engineering drafting principles and standards. He is proficient inthe use of BIM 360, Revit Architecture & Revit Structure, AutoCAD and Bluebeam. His early exposure to the various facets of construction have made him a field expert when it comes to understanding design drawings from other engineering disciplines. His persona has allowed him to venture toward continuous self evaluation, personal growth and professional development. Mustafa excels in taking the initiative to solving problems and figuring things out by learning systemically. He also takes pride in learning how to employ new technology in everyday tasks. He has spent the last two years learning a variety of BIM-related applications, such as Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Enscape, etc.
