About Ryan Thomas
With over a decade of professional experience, my recent work has focuses on leveraging Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) to drive innovation and scalability in the construction industry. Passionate about integrating cutting-edge technology into workflows, I thrive on aligning strategic tools with organizational goals and mentoring teams to adopt sustainable solutions. My mission is to create efficiencies that elevate project outcomes while fostering collaboration and innovation across teams. At Brasfield & Gorrie, I pioneered transformative initiatives, including creating the company\'s first 360° photography program and serving as the original BIM coordinator for datacenter projects. I helped secure enterprise-wide adoption of key tools like Holobuilder, TestFit, and Trimble SysQue, scaling VDC capabilities and training team members to meet growing demands. My leadership in full-cycle BIM coordination for a flagship datacenter project contributed to its success, showcasing my ability to align technical expertise with client needs.
