Speakers

Mark Gibbons

Principal/BIM Director at Precision Design Group, LLC in Farmington, UT

Over the past twenty-five years, Mr. Gibbons has gained vast experience in architecture through designing, developing construction documents, construction administration and working with clients, consultants & contractors through all aspects of a project’s life cycle. He has worked on projects big and small, and has gained experience in small business ownership through developing his own consulting business in both architectural and technological services, specifically in BIM and Revit. Mr. Gibbons has been in project management for over fifteen years, and this experience provides him with crucial input regarding BIM-related development and procedures. As a BIM manager, he works with company leadership to provide support, training, and assistance for staff, consultants and clients to maximize the development of all projects. Mr. Gibbons has consulted and led BIM/Revit efforts of various architecture and engineering firms throughout Michigan, Ohio, California, and Utah. He has a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Michigan where he went on to initiate and teach the Revit and BIM classes for both students and faculty there. His experience gives him a rounded approach to the best practices in assisting firms work with their clients while also helping projects reach their fullest potential. Personally, every chance he gets, you’ll find Mark working on a home improvement project, helping a friend build their house, or out in his workshop building.
