Michelle Leonard is BIM Manager and Technician at Assemble, an Auckland based boutique out-source documentation service with a passion for problem solving and BIM.

Michelle formed a special affinity with Revit on her first day at Jasmax in 2005 and from there the bond has blossomed, leading to a BIM Specialist role at Jasmax from 2009 to November 2012, researching and developing systems and protocols to establish a collaborative BIM environment.

Known for her enthusiasm and passion about Revit and BIM, Michelle has taught hundreds of staff, conference delegates and students. She is excited by the prospect that BIM can change the construction sector in New Zealand, producing improved designs and a greater efficiency when delivering buildings.

Michelle was the secretary of the Revit User Group of Auckland between 2008-2010 and continues to be an active committee member.

When Michelle isn’t glued to a Revit Model (or Excel her other software addiction), she spends her time helping her husband with his residential construction business and reading books in the sun.
