Collaborate with engineering teams to improve constructability, installation sequencing, accessibility, maintainability, and interdisciplinary coordination. Support field and construction teams by assisting with RFIs, design changes, shop-drawing coordination, model-based problem solving, and field coordination as required. Quality Assurance / Quality Control Perform detailed BIM, model, drawing, and documentation QA/QC reviews to verify accuracy, completeness, coordination, and compliance with established project standards. Review models and construction documents developed by designers and other BIM professionals. Verify that model content accurately reflects engineering intent and approved design information. Identify discrepancies between models, drawings, details, schedules, specifications, and multidisciplinary design information. Support discipline and project quality processes before formal design submissions. Monitor model health, warnings, file performance, links, worksets, coordinates, and other technical model-management considerations. Help establish BIM quality metrics and model-checking procedures appropriate for large, complex projects.
