Marie Hunter, founder and president at Avixi Inc., has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Business Owners for dedication, achievements, and leadership in construction.
With nearly three decades of experience, Ms. Hunter has built a successful career in architecture and construction, specializing in 3D for security operations, computer-aided design (CAD), and virtual reality. She currently excels as the founder and president of Avixi, Inc. CA, a role she has held since 2014. Her responsibilities include managing data related to facilities, working with CAD software, overseeing quality controls, analyzing data from subcontractors, and planning mechanical and electrical operations. Her previous roles include BIM project manager at XL Construction Corporation from 2011 to 2014, senior estimator at WEBCOR from 2002 to 2008, project engineer at WEBCOR from 2000 to 2002, field engineer at Largo Concrete Inc. from 1999 to 2000, and staff engineer at InSituTech from 1997 to 1999. She holds a patent for building information modeling focused on the operational management of facilities, awarded by the Technical Disclosure Commons in 2018. She is also a dedicated co-founder of the Gilroy Hot Springs Conservancy and Redwings Horse Sanctuary. Laying a solid educational foundation, she earned a Bachelor of Science in applied science and civil engineering from the University of Ottawa in 1996, a LEED AP BD+C certification from Green Business Certification Inc. in 2015, and an engineer in training credential from the Board of Professional Engineers and Surveyors in 1998.
Reflecting on her path, Ms. Hunter has achieved significant milestones in streamlining the timely delivery of critical project data. During construction, she encountered delays of 90 to 120 days due to contractors’ challenges in providing essential project information. Recognizing the need for detailed documentation to accurately represent building layouts and equipment, she took a proactive approach, ensuring building occupants had immediate access to vital information, effectively eliminating the waiting period. The team’s use of digital models to represent physical structures and capture essential data has been instrumental to their success. Through rigorous quality control, they have completed projects totaling 5 million square feet and developed 3 million square feet of virtual realities for clients. She attributes her success to her proactive approach to identifying industry pain points and her commitment to resolving them. Driven by a deep understanding of people’s needs, she strives to exceed industry capabilities. By assembling a talented team, she addresses gaps in existing software offerings, taking on a challenging two-year endeavor that she views as a motivating force to push herself and her team further. In the coming years, she envisions integrating their technologies with AI to enhance the building industry’s capabilities, tailored specifically for generative applications. This integration would enable seamless access to essential information, including 3D models, specific data, and precise fill amounts at any given location.
