Nicholas Tsagkos
Senior Technician
Who I am and what makes me tick…
A passionate BIM and Revit specialist with a structural engineering background, combining technical precision, artistic drafting, and extensive experience on major international construction projects to deliver clear, high-quality designs.
What prompted you to start a career in BIM and Revit?
I’ve always loved technology, drafting, and art, and I loved building things from a young age. I started my journey out studying to be a Computer Aided Design Draftsperson, learning the foundational rules of the craft on a drafting board and AutoCAD, that made me want to learn more about engineering which led me to my double bachelor's degree in structural engineering and technical education.
Discovering BIM technology, perfectly crowned that journey, letting me bring order to complex structures by merging engineering with precise drafting.
To me, a great technical drawing represents science through art. It requires perfect geometry, harmony, and clarity to bring light to a design, and I love balancing those two worlds.
How has your previous experience helped you in your new role?
I’ve spent years working with large international firms on major developments, I have a wide range of exposure in different project sectors, from the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station and train stations to resi schemes, high-rise residential towers, hotels and luxury villas.
Because of that, I bring strong data management skills and high BIM precision. Moving to a closer-knit team means I can apply those top-tier standards directly to our projects to make our workflows incredibly efficient and productive.
Which part of your work gives you the greatest sense of achievement?
Producing beautiful, clean, and highly legible designs that allow the craftsmen on-site to build with clarity. I take great pride in contributing my own well-wrought stone to a construction project, creating structures that will stand as a lasting testament to our labor for generations to come. Ultimately, my highest hope is that the craftsmen find satisfaction in my work and that it serves them well as they bring these projects to life.
How would people describe you?
Approachable, passionate for my work, and collaborative. I take accuracy and structural workflows very seriously, but I always bring positive energy, a “can do” attitude and a strong team spirit to the office.
What motivates you to do what you do?
I’ve dedicated a lot of time to study structural engineering and mastering CAD & BIM, and I genuinely love the daily process of drafting and modelling in Revit.
It’s my passion, and I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love every day in a vibrant and open city like London.
What can you be found doing when you’re not at work?
Away from the desk, I stay creative by sketching with charcoal and exploring historic British architecture and nature. To recharge, I practice Qi Gong and yoga, hang out in London's parks, or catch up with friends over good coffee and food.
