Emmanuel Graves 

Senior VDC Tech, GE Johnson, Denver, CO 

Emmanuel Graves

Emmanuel Graves has a unique combination of a Colorado School of Mines Mechanical Engineering background, Cloud Engineering Project Management experience, and a passion for Virtual Design and Construction. He is a natural self-driven team player and is always looking for opportunities to give back. In his role as a senior VDC technician at GE Johnson, Emmanuel is responsible for standardizing building coordination and streamlining workflows in the Autodesk Construction Cloud environment as a subject matter expert.  

Emmanuel has also led the integration between VDC and other departments through VDC education, with the goal of improving the understanding of a project’s complexity through model utilization and additional VDC services. The value of this education was realized by the efforts Emmanuel previously focused on to help elevate safety within the company. By integrating VDC with the safety department, Emmanuel was able to coordinate online OSHA trainings and guide the VDC department to receive OSHA 10 hour certifications. This team achievement has sparked a stronger relationship with the safety department and has developed into further innovations and discussions surrounding prevention through design and visual planning. The safety specialists now have the ability to virtually fly through models via a VR headset to evaluate jobsite conditions prior to construction. This is just one of the many examples of how Emmanuel encourages collaboration, while evaluating the value new technologies can bring to the VDC department.  

Beginning in 2021, GE Johnson’s implementation of Autodesk Construction Cloud’s new collaborative browser-based workflow began on several notable projects such as Kansas State Indoor Practice Facility, Winstar World Casino Resort, U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) Falcon Stadium and USAFA Visitors Center. By optimizing models to be utilized and manipulated in your average internet browser, Emmanuel refined and standardized ACC’s Model Coordination with exceptional results on each of those projects. By providing 1-on-1 training to trade partners, curriculum centered presentations to operations colleagues, and his simplification of the ACC platform (with easy-to-use Model Coordination Views), Emmanuel’s teams are now thrilled to utilize ACC’s Model Coordination via the browser and on their mobile devices.  

"Through testing and implementation, Emmanuel developed standards in Model Coordination paired with Revit that delivered better results than Manage and showcased how far Model Coordination has come. This has become the gold standard for GE Johnson moving forward."

Matthew Cordova 

Director of Construction Technology, Hermanson Company, Kent, WA 

Matthew Cordova

Matthew has been at Hermanson Company for over 11 years, starting as an HVAC Detailer and BIM Lead. Today, he serves as the Director of Construction Technology, looking after the firm's implementation of digital tools.  

One of Matt's most notable projects is digitally transforming Hermansons shop and field workflows. By opening up VDC model access directly to shop & field labor, Hermanson has streamlined construction workflows that have allowed their shop teams to prefabricate directly from a 3D model while also allowing their field teams to schedule, track and order material directly to a jobsite.  

Sitting directly with invested stakeholders and training, listening and mentoring different trade leaders and personalities from project to project allows new ideas to be developed and implemented throughout this digital transformation. 

“Implementing new technology for your firm isn’t about forcing adherence to new ideas and workflows – especially while dealing with shop and field teams that have been doing it a certain way for years on end. It's our job to bring new ideas and technology to the table no doubt, but then sitting with people doing the work you’re affecting and listening to feedback they give on how to make it better. Once that dialog was achieved, people you are trying to teach and train become invested in the same technology you are trying to implement.”
