• Coordinate closely with estimating, procurement, project management, fabrication, and field operations to align model outputs with cost, schedule, procurement, and installation needs.
• Track coordination milestones, model deliverables, RFIs, design changes, fabrication requirements, and field revisions.
• Support prefabrication planning by ensuring models are accurate, complete, and usable for production and installation.
• Perform model-quality reviews and maintain established BIM standards, naming conventions, documentation practices, and quality controls.
• Conduct jobsite visits as needed to validate existing conditions, support installation teams, and resolve coordination issues.
• Communicate progress, risks, priorities, and solutions clearly to internal leadership, clients, general contractors, and trade partners.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of BIM/VDC workflows, technology adoption, training, and team performance.
