Courtney Fekete
Building Technologist
Courtney, when at BCIT in 2018, was in search of completing her practicum in an architecture firm, but more specifically a firm that was actively involved in onsite construction. Architrave was first on the list and then began her experience with drafting architecture and construction drawings in BIM software. Courtney renders 3D models of proposed designs helping clients visualize their project and material selection. She also is instrumental in obtaining necessary permits. She loves to be a part of the entire process of initial concept through to the finalized project. Courtney's free time is spent mountain biking with her energetic dog, sometimes golfing and definitely lots of rewarding work as she completes her syllabus in Architecture.
