Introduction
I am an Architectural Technologist student in my 7th semester with a particular focus on Revit design, BIM, and coordination of construction solutions.
I work with the entire project process – from further development of layout proposals to authority projects and tender material.
I have experience in reviewing drawings, ensuring compliance with applicable requirements and standards, and preparing technical descriptions, calculations and documentation.
I thrive in group work, where I actively contribute to coordination and quality assurance, and have built a good understanding of how schedules, economics and risk assessments work together to create a coherent project material that can be used directly in tenders and on construction sites.
I love structure and order in my work, and I am particularly passionate about working with Revit, developing projects visually and finding solutions that can be realized in practice.

1st Semester
Single-story house 1.5 floors
Fall 2023 | Residential Construction
In the first semester we went through 5 assignments.
We started by designing and building a freestanding model bridge that could carry 3 kg. The semester then progressed through housing concepts, construction details, a bio-based house and a Revit family-home project.
Intro Assignment - Model Bridge
Intro Assignment - We started the semester by designing and building a model bridge that had to carry 3 kg and stand without fastening.
Normal Constructions
I drew exterior-wall details and calculated U-values to understand construction build-ups.
3rd Assignment - Connection points
I drew junction details and contributed to the analysis of fire protection and construction principles.
4th Assignment - Bio-based House (Individual)
I developed a sustainable house concept with focus on material choice and CO₂ footprint. I learned to work independently, choose environmentally friendly materials and analyze the building's climate footprint.
5th Assignment - Family House
I modelled a 1.5-storey family home in Revit, developed three ground-floor construction solutions and prepared a site plan and sections.

2nd Semester
Townhouses in Køge
Spring 2024 | Townhouses up to 2.5 storeys
In the 2nd semester we worked from a distributed layout proposal, which we further developed into a project proposal and authority project.
I contributed to the group process and reviewed the Revit drawings for compliance with applicable requirements and standards. I was not responsible for the main Revit model, and instead focused on technical review, documentation, risk and tender material.
Tender: Roof Contract
As a conclusion to the project, I prepared a complete tender for roof contracting, which contained drawings and details of the roof construction, descriptive materials and execution wishes as well as the bid list. In addition, I prepared a risk assessment, an economic overview and a schedule in MS Project, which ensured overview and a targeted solution for the building process.
This process has given me a good understanding of how drawings, descriptions and quantities must hang together to be used directly by contractors.

4th Semester
Office Building
Spring 2025 | Specialized Materials
In this semester we worked on further developing a distributed layout proposal for an office building.
The project had to meet the EU Taxonomy, target a maximum climate impact of 6.1 kg CO₂e/m²/year in 2029, and include at least 30% reused concrete and 70% reused metals. A donor building was used to identify materials for reuse.
My tasks
I actively participated in the project and was responsible for:
Built and maintained the Revit model from start to finish
Reviewed the donor-building slab plan to identify reusable materials
Completed LCA calculations in LCAbyg against the project climate target
Prepared plans, sections, details and the project folder structure
Sustainability & LCA
The project gave me responsibility for both the model and its documentation and taught me to connect climate targets, authority requirements and tender information in one structured process.
