Educated and trained as an architect, Jacob D'Albora has embraced and sought to maximize the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) throughout his career. Jacob is an integral part of the team of McVeigh & Mangum Engineering (MME), a full-service, multi-office engineering firm. Together, Jacob and MME serve the AEC community with a passion to not only produce designs and drawings of superior quality in the BIM platform, but also to equip facilities professionals to more efficiently and effectively manage facilities once constructed. This is accomplished through the application of BIM-FM (facility management) strategy. Jacob has established himself as an industry leader in the BIM-FM arena and, through the use of BIM-FM, has provided the resources and training to facilities personnel necessary to facilitate the efficient execution of building maintenance duties and record keeping.
