🎙️ Education and Beyond with ABC Trainings – A Civil Engineer’s Leap from Contracting to BIM | Episode 32

What happens when a civil engineer takes a bold step away from traditional contracting and dives into future-ready skills?

Episode 32 of Education and Beyond with ABC Trainings brings you the inspiring story of Mr. Swapnil S. Khedkar, a Site Engineer at Ravi Infra, Nashik, who did just that — and transformed his career with the Master Diploma in BIM.


🔧 From Zilha Parishad Contractor to BIM Professional

Before joining ABC Trainings, Swapnil sir was a licensed contractor for Zilha Parishad, handling roads and infrastructure works. Despite his experience, he faced constant hurdles — from delayed payments to labour challenges.

These frustrations sparked a realization: traditional experience wasn’t enough for sustainable growth. He needed technical upskilling — something that could make his profile future-proof.

That’s when he discovered ABC Trainings through JustDial and enrolled in our Master Diploma in BIM, covering tools like AutoCAD, Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Estimation via Excel, and more.


🎤 Key Takeaways from the Podcast

In this Hindi-language episode, Swapnil sir opens up about:

  • ✅ Why BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the future of civil engineering

  • ✅ The difference between managing tenders vs managing smart design

  • ✅ His experience with individualized mentoring and real project simulations at ABC

  • ✅ A detailed breakdown of Zilha Parishad license processes, including documentation and execution

  • ✅ His advice to young Diploma and BE students entering the field

One of his most powerful lines from the episode:

“If you want to grow, keep your passion and profession separate.”

He urges budding civil engineers to avoid the distractions of short-term contracts and instead focus on core field skills, where BIM offers endless opportunities.


💡 Why This Episode Matters

In the world of civil engineering, too many professionals hit a growth ceiling after basic site roles or contractor licenses. This episode isn’t just a story — it’s a mirror for every civil engineer who knows they’re capable of more.

Swapnil’s journey highlights that with the right training and vision, you can shift from execution mode to design leadership — and stand out in the job market.
