Stavros Koulis
Architect · BIM Manager
Almost thirty years in practice across Greece and the UK.
I have worked on delivery projects using rotring pens and letraset back when architectural offices smelled of ammonia from the diazo printer. When I started working with digital design tools, AutoCAD was on version 13, running on Windows NT, on a single machine at the corner of the office. I know buildings get built without BIM.
That’s the point: I believe in using better tools, but with a clear understanding of what they actually do. Every tool carries an inherent logic. The less capable a practitioner is at understanding that logic, the more the tool takes over the process — and that applies equally to Revit, to BIM workflows, and increasingly to AI workflows.
I have over 15 years of experience in BIM roles, 10 as a BIM Manager and 5 before as BIM Coordinator. I work as BIM Manager for architectural practices in the UK and Switzerland, and through BIMhub I help firms adopt BIM on their own terms — not on the software vendor’s terms.
The gap between how these tools are sold and how they actually land in practice is where most of the interesting work lives. That’s where I work.
