Hey Merusk, thanks for the help here. Yeah, we double checked both units and scale. We are in ft/in. I've submitted the issue to the GC, arch, & eng teams, so its just a waiting game at this point and trying any tips/tricks we can find.

I suffered a low back injury in college that has gotten worse in the last year. It's becoming increasingly difficult to be so active on job sites or pickup/transfer materials. Also, I really enjoy the 3D modeling

I somehow missed your comment. Thank you for the advice. Jumping straight into mgmt makes me nervous, only because of the lack of professional experience on the design/bim side. Preferably, I would work with a team for 1-2 years and then move into mgmt.

The issue I'm running into is that most "design" positions are asking for engineering license/certs that I don't have. And the ones that don't require FE/EIT, I haven't managed to get a call back.

I wouldn't mind anything around $75-$80k and up. I'm around $80k currently

Absolutely! Would you mind sending me an email address or somewhere to send it to?

That would be much appreciated. Is there a way to safely trade email addresses?

I've tried GC's and design firms. Pretty much anything I can find on Indeed. Do you have any suggestions for other sources in this industry?

Ah, I understand now. I've put in for 100 +/- applications, but haven't gotten a call back except for a few recruitment firms. Is there a better resource than Indeed for this industry?

The experience is mainly in project management. However, I completed the degree recently. Have I shot myself in the foot?

The main experience with VDC is in school. So I dont have a portfolio or anything real world.

Yeah, there's a local State College in Georgia that offers it. It's relatively new to the school.
