Vladimir Simonovski is a structural engineer and co-founder of structural consulting

company comprised of highly skilled engineers, designers and

forward-thinkers.

Prior to co-starting his own company, Vladimir gathered extensive

design and construction knowledge and experience by working on

high profile infrastructure projects around the U.S. On some projects,

his experience was gathered by being a part of the design team and

on other projects Vladimir made his presence known in the field, by

directly getting involved in construction, as part of the construction

team. This balanced mix of experience, coupled with a strong work

ethic, gave Vladimir the outlet for his interest in reinventing how

problems are viewed and finding solutions by utilizing technologies

such as 3D modeling, virtual reality, 3D printing, scanning,

implementation of new materials and etc.

His enthusiasm can be seen from the numerous three-dimensional

modeling manuals that he has prepared over the years. Vladimir has

conducted training for construction companies on the effective use of

SketchUp application and how it can fill the effectiveness gap where

other CAD applications cannot. During these training sessions, a

special emphasis is given to the idea of Information Modeling and the

proper organization in the heavy civil industry. Additionally, his 3D

modeling work was published by the American Society of Civil

Engineers – ASCE, under the practice periodicals on structural design

and construction. The paper was written based on a real-life beam

erection scenario, in which Vladimir was heavily involved and where

3D modeling was used extensively to plan and test multiple critical

girder pick. Additionally, Vladimir also published a book titled

SketchUp for Civil Engineering and the Heavy Construction Industry:

Modeling Workflow and Problem Solving for Design and Construction,

where a large number of everyday uses for SketchUp in the

construction industry were compiled in an easy to use manual.
