About
After finishing my architecture studies with good results in May 1998, I began working as a structural calculator and carrying out high standard housing construction projects as a collaborator of the architect J. Motilla.
In January 1999 I joined the second Madrid office of bod architecture and engineering, where I directed projects and their construction, especially in the industrial and residential sector, both housing and health homes for the elderly. My responsibilities included taking responsibility for the signature of the projects I directed, the structural calculation in blocks of up to 40 houses, the architectural and structural design, the processing of licenses and visas, the management of the project and the construction. From this period, I would highlight the project of the Majadahonda Hydrotherapy Center for its technical specialization and its daring wood laminated roof.
In 2011 I gave the technological leap to BIM, soon reaching an advanced level that allowed me to lead the digital transformation in bod’s office 2, to move to the main office in 2012, first carrying out the creation of content and then taking charge of the bulk of the BIM management and its development. At the same time, I maintained the functions of project management, including the use of BIM and the early use of point clouds at work site, as in the rehabilitation of the “Santa María del Estudiante” students’ residence.
Since 2014 I have been the BIM Manager of Bouygues Bâtiment International in one of its international offices with the highest turnover (900M USD in 2019) , in charge of technological change and innovation in this field. Giving training and support to more than 70 BIM daily users at the headquarters, 36 projects supervised with BIM, of which 28 hotels, 1 cruise terminal, 1 the airport expansion and the rest other uses. In total represent 1.6 million square meters in virtual construction, which is a contract budget of 4,100 million USD. Additionally, I collaborate at the international level in the company with contributions to the technological development strategy, as well as participating in a conference and thematic workshops. In this stage I have also developed advanced capabilities in the programming of Revit with Dynamo and Python, creating 80 new tools that significantly streamline the work process. I would highlight the series of tools for the automatic calculation of quantities of finishes and mechanical calculations and the automatic creation of 4D models, among others.
For the future, my main interest is to integrate in the same role the management of Design and BIM in a project and work that stands out for its uniqueness.

Hola Eduardo.
Me llamo Aitor Chavarri, soy arquitecto y actualmente estoy trabajando en Australia. Aqui es donde he empezado a utilizar Revit ya que es el programa que utilizan en el estudio.
Intentando aprender a usar Revit, llevo 3 meses, encontre tus videos en Youtube que me han sido de gran ayuda, gracias.
En Enero vuelvo a Espana y me gustaria realizar algun curso intensivo y me preguntaba si conoces algun curso que merezca la pena.
Muchas gracias.
PD: perdon por las tildes!

Hola Aitor.
Siento no poder darte mucha información sobre lo que me preguntas. Creo que los cursos oscilan entre lo muy básico (unas 20 horas) y los muy exigentes, largos y caros (160 horas en 5 meses). Nunca he encontrado datos sobre cursos intensivos.
Por lo que me cuentas, para cuando vengas a España tal vez ya no necesitarás cursos si sigues practicando estos meses. Trata de sacar partido de la experiencia australiana, que nos sacan mucha ventaja.
Saludos.
