Tarek Ghazzaoui, Eng.
Building Engineer & Senior BIM Manager
I am a building engineer with experience in Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Operations (AECO) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) since 2010. I have a keen interest in business management, change management and innovation. As a results-driven and detail-oriented professional, I am passionate about helping AEC firms manage change and leverage the use of technology and computational design. My management experience coupled with my technical expertise helped improve organizational cultures, tackle complex workflows and overcome challenging designs.
I had the privilege of working with and managing interdisciplinary BIM teams of up to 70+ members on major construction projects ranging from $200M to $2.2B, including airports, hospitals, sports complexes, factories as well as residential, commercial and mixed-use projects.

Tarek Ghazzaoui, Eng.
Senior BIM Manager
I like to think of myself as a professional, humble, hardworking and resourceful engineer, with a sense of pragmatism and humor. Sharing knowledge and experience are my passion, but not nearly as much as learning. I am fond of solving problems, understanding how things work, thinking outside the box and being creative.
