Mark Homminga

After graduating in Architectural Design from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and working for eight years as an interior architect, I made the switch to architecture in 2006. I found it more interesting and challenging. I’ve always had a passion for technology, and I realized I’m more of a problem-solver than a designer. I worked at various architecture firms and was introduced to BIM, a methodology where different disciplines in the construction industry collaborate through an integrated 3D model. I became fascinated by Revit, the software that enables a multidisciplinary design process through collaboration. At Paul de Ruiter Architects, I now work as BIM Manager and determine the BIM strategy for various projects. The quality of the BIM model ultimately determines how confidently teams can move forward with construction. The cleaner the model, the smoother the process. Recently, contractor Dura Vermeer told us it was the first time they had received a model they could immediately work with. That’s exactly what drives me.
