knowledge: who is?

CAD-wiz founder Mark Couch, has an extensive background in CAD and Presentation software.

Mark's experience in CAD Management has been tested and learnt in the field with Architectural practices and it all began with RGP Architects over eight years ago.

During his employment with RGP, Mark learnt from the ground up how MicroStation and Powerdraft works, taking the company through two upgrades, from Version 7 to V8 2004 and then to XM. Those upgrades had been ignored by previous CAD Managers who were daunted by the work involved.

As well as upgrading software RGP needed to consolidate their CAD standards, initially between two offices London and Manchester and later with a third, Glasgow, which also needed converting from AutoCAD. Working with three offices of Architects and Technicians required a great deal of diplomacy and negotiation to get one set of standards.

The challenge of improving and streamling the company in their use of CAD gave Mark the drive to complete the task and earned him the respect of the Directors who acknowledged his achievements by promoting him to Associate level.
