About Joe Perkins

I have spent the past 30 years in the design world. Most of that time has been in Architecture firms, while some of it has been in other types of companies. My primary focus has been on the production side of the design; I have used every version of AutoCAD from release 2.5 to the present. I currently do most of my design work in AutoDesk Architecture 2012. In several firms I have configured the profiles for placing CAD into production during upgrades and maintained these customizations throughout the use of the product. I am very pleased with the convergence of design & production. I have believed for a long time that the future of the profession was for the designer and producer to be one; the hybrid of production and design is a natural progression. Our office is focused on the BIM movement and trying to define how we will apply this to our mode of operation. It is an exciting time for anyone in design. So many advances are really solid now. In the past 4 years with Turner, I have gained experience with Navisworks, expanded my skill with Revit, and applied my knowlege of Civil 3D to the Ft Benning project. I hope to take these enhancements to the wider company as time goes on. I\'m now the National CAD Manager at Pultegroup. I\'m part of a team providing guidance, support and planning for the production groups of the corporation. We work closely with Design and Construction Standards to align the plan sets from concept to the built result. Specialties: AutoCAD, AutoDesk Architecture, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Revit, BIM 360 Field, general computers, network administration, general carpentry
