![]() ![]() ![]() I have discovered that running my own business includes a great deal of stress, but also has numerous advantages. Desirée encouraged me to pursue my aspirations of moving beyond the reseller basic-level training and we opened BD Mackey Consulting in 2011. She was familiar with working in and running a family business. Desirée is a structural engineer who grew up in her father’s GC firm. In this time I developed countless relationships with various firms and was able to build on my knowledge and practical experience through helping those firms to learn and find their most profitable workflows. Most were in the greater Denver area, but many in other regions of the country. I stopped using AutoCAD in 2005 and I have never looked back.ĭuring my time at the reseller I trained over 1,000 AEC professionals. I thought, “Wow - Revit is going to completely change the industry.” I soon started using Revit and took to it even easier than when I learned AutoCAD. ![]() Fortunately, I eventually transitioned to an architecture firm that valued my construction experience.Įventually, my experience at these firms lead me to work for Autodesk reseller beginning in 2004, not long after the Revit acquisition. I took the position but due to my non-formal training, I quickly discovered that I had to overcome some amount of bias working among architects. As a result I quickly discovered that much of the work I was producing (mostly shop drawings) were more accurate than what architects were providing.Įventually one of the architectural firms I often worked with offered me a position in their office. I took to the technology and new workflows quite easily. To utilize the technology, the company decided I was the best person to attend a few community college courses to learn AutoCAD, which then led to CNC programming. This was back when AutoCAD was first coming on the scene. Over the years I have gained a great deal of practical experience that allows me to find unique approaches for each of my clients to help them advance their workflows and become more efficient and profitable.Īt the first woodworking company I worked, I was really the only person even able to use the computers we had available. My professional start was in woodworking and construction. I'm an independent information modeling consultant from Denver, Colorado. The feedback makes you go to the next level of detail.”īrian Mackey | Owner | BDMackey Consulting “Enscape helps you use Revit more thoughtfully. ![]()
