Debabrata M.
Electrical & Lighting Design| EV Charging | MEP,BIM & COBie Specialist
I help architects, contractors, and electrical engineers deliver code-compliant electrical, lighting, and MEP designs — approval-ready, on time, and built for how projects actually get built on site. With 12+ years of experience across residential, commercial, and industrial projects, I've worked across the full project lifecycle — from early-stage design through construction documentation and facility handover. My background spans electrical engineering, BIM coordination, and COBie-based facility management, with hands-on site experience from a deputation at Nesma in Saudi Arabia — one of the world's largest construction firms — working directly with senior engineers on live projects. Through Canvascom's engineering team, I can scale delivery up to 40 resources for larger or fast-track scopes without compromising coordination quality. I've supported 600+ projects across the USA, Middle East, Australia, Israel, and Europe. ELECTRICAL & LIGHTING DESIGN This is my core discipline. I design power distribution systems, lighting layouts, and EV charging infrastructure for projects that need to pass approval — not just look right on paper. What I deliver: ✅ Electrical design & power distribution (residential, commercial, industrial) ✅ EV charging station layouts — Level 2 & DC Fast Charging ✅ Lighting design & photometric analysis (DIALux / Relux / ElumTools) ✅ Panel schedules, load calculations & quantity take-offs ✅Fire alarm, security & ELV layouts I work to US codes and have strong familiarity with authority requirements and approval workflows across multiple jurisdictions. Tools: Revit, AutoCAD, DIALux, ElumTools, Relux, Bluebeam BIM & MEP COORDINATION I build clash-free, coordinated BIM models that support real construction workflows — not just visualization. My MEP coordination work connects electrical design to the broader mechanical and plumbing scope, and I bring the same site-level thinking to BIM that I developed working on live construction projects. What I deliver: ✅MEP BIM modeling and coordination (Revit + Navisworks) ✅Point Cloud / Scan-to-BIM (LOD 300–500) ✅Clash detection and resolution ✅Construction and shop drawings ready for execution ✅Energy analysis & code compliance (Green Building Studio, Title 24, ComCheck, ResCheck) Tools: Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Autodesk Fabrication, ReCap, MagiCAD, ETABS COBie & FACILITY MANAGEMENT COBie is where design data becomes operational value. I produce COBie-compliant models structured for real facility management use — not just checkbox compliance. This includes asset tagging, equipment data, space information, and handover documentation formatted for FM platforms. This is an area I work in with depth, not just familiarity. If your project has a data handover requirement, I'm comfortable leading that conversation with your FM team or owner's representative. What I deliver: ✅COBie-compliant BIM models for facility handover ✅Asset and equipment data structured for FM platforms ✅Space and zone information aligned to operational requirements ✅BIM+ workflows connecting design data to facility management NOTABLE PROJECTS Projects delivered through Canvascom's team include: 1. Henry Ford Allegiance Health Center 2. Los Angeles Community College District, Monterey Park 3. Central Plant 3 & 6, Qatar Education City 4. Consolidated Warehouse & Waste Management Centre, Saudi Arabia 5.Dubai Airport — Concourse 4 6. Msheireb Downtown Doha — Phase 3 & 4 If you have a project that needs an electrical or MEP engineer who understands both the design and the construction side — and can coordinate BIM and facility data through to handover — I'm happy to review your scope and recommend the best approach.
