From Treviso, Italy, with a degree in Construction Engineering Architecture at the University of Padua, Denis Durante had already encountered BIM in academic lecture halls, at a time when BIM was emerging with its revolutionary character. Having grasped its potential and future, Denis, who has always been fascinated by innovation issues, immediately invested time and energy to delve into what would later become central to his career. Thanks to an internship, he joins a local excellence, Cimolai, where he trains and alternates his skills as a BIM Specialist and Coordinator on different types of job orders, standardisation processes and procedures, and Research and Development, also accumulating a vast experience on construction sites that gives him a concrete insight along the entire supply chain and that will give value to the developments he will be part of. At Cimolai, he will soon have the opportunity to be an active part of the change project that will have as its pivot the design of a CDE developed with the collaboration of the 4 Days team. Within the project, which will later be developed as Truspace, he coordinates and manages development and training in the Cimolai area.

From this year, the collaboration takes the reverse form.

Denis Durante, in his role of Cimolai CDE manager, since april has been also a consultant in 4Days, applying its expertise for the evolution of the Truspace platform.

8 questions to get to know him better.

  • What is one phrase that inspires you and in which you recognize yourself?
    "Happiness is only real if it is shared". (Lev Tolstoy, discovered thanks to the film Into the Wild)
  • Your job title reads "CDE Manager e Product Manager." If you had to put it in other words, what would you use?
    Organising and simplifying design and project management through the Truspace CDE.
  • What led you to 4Days?
    The same spirit of innovation and improvement that guided my path back at Cimolai, dropped into a different dimension, as well as the possibility of comparison with different realities.
  • What do you bring with you to 4Days from your Cimolai “outfit”?
    Experience in managing innovative and digital projects within a very complex reality and projects.
  • In your way of working, the watchword is...
    Organizzazione.
  • How do you love to start and end your working day?
    I like to start with a protein breakfast, coffee, and when possible some mindfulness, which makes me feel more lucid. On the way back, there is nothing better than playing and laughing with my son...and some good reading before resting.
  • What is your special project at 4Days?
    Thanks to the experience gained in Cimolai, I help the team to develop the Truspace product in a robust and original way, to make it meet the needs of both ordinary projects and extended organisations on complex projects.
  • What do you love to do on “Day 5”?
    I like spending time with my family and my son, hiking in our beautiful mountains and being in touch with nature. Now and then, I also like playing a bit of basketball with friends and reading good books, maybe that talk about the East.
