BIM Modeler

Job Summary:The BIM Modeler – Vertical Transportation (VT) is responsible for developing, coordinating, maintaining, and updating Building Information Modeling (BIM) models for passenger elevators and escalators throughout the project lifecycle, from design development to construction and handover.The role involves producing shop drawings, performing clash detection, coordinating vertical transportation interfaces with other disciplines, and ensuring all BIM deliverables comply with project requirements, BIM standards, and submission schedules.Key ResponsibilitiesBIM ModelingDevelop, maintain, and update 3D BIM models for passenger elevators and escalators using Autodesk Revit.Prepare BIM models in accordance with project BIM standards, BIM Execution Plan (BEP), Employer Information Requirements (EIR), and company procedures.Ensure models meet the required Level of Development (LOD) at each project milestone.Incorporate design changes, engineering updates, and installation requirements into BIM models.Ensure model accuracy and consistency throughout the project lifecycle.Shop Drawing ProductionGenerate shop drawings directly from BIM models.Prepare detailed drawings, sections, elevations, layouts, and interface details for lifts and escalators.Ensure drawings accurately reflect approved designs, dimensions, and installation requirements.Revise drawings in accordance with engineering comments, coordination outcomes, and site requirements.Maintain consistency between BIM models and issued drawings.BIM CoordinationParticipate in BIM coordination meetings, design reviews, and technical workshops.Coordinate vertical transportation models with architectural, structural, MEP, and other relevant disciplines.Review design information and identify potential interface issues before construction.Incorporate approved coordination changes into the BIM model.Support design, engineering, factory, installation, and site teams with BIM-related information.Clash Detection and ResolutionPerform clash detection and model coordination using Autodesk Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), BIM 360, and other approved platforms.Identify, review, classify, and report clashes involving lifts, escalators, and associated building interfaces.Propose practical solutions in coordination with relevant engineering disciplines.Update BIM models based on agreed clash resolutions.Prepare and maintain clash detection reports and track outstanding coordination issues through closure.Vertical Transportation Interface ManagementCoordinate and model all lift and escalator interfaces, including but not limited to:Lift shaft dimensions and clearances.Lift pit dimensions and requirements.Headroom and overhead clearances.Machine room dimensions and equipment layouts, where applicable.Controller and control panel locations.Landing entrances, door openings, and entrance interfaces.Structural openings, recesses, and builder's work requirements.Guide rail and bracket locations.Lifting beam and lifting point requirements.Electrical power supply and associated service requirements.Fire alarm and emergency operation interfaces.Access control and security system interfaces.Escalator truss openings, floor penetrations, support points, and installation clearances.Coordination of equipment access, maintenance clearances, and installation requirements.BIM Documentation and Standards ComplianceMaintain BIM model naming conventions, folder structures, revision control, and file management in accordance with project standards.Ensure compliance with ISO 19650 principles, the project BIM Execution Plan (BEP), and Employer Information Requirements (EIR).Manage model exchanges, submissions, and revisions through approved common data environments.Generate model reports, technical data sheets, and supporting BIM documentation.Ensure all deliverables meet project documentation and information management requirements.Quantity and Data ManagementExtract quantities and relevant technical information from BIM models when required.Populate and maintain model parameters, equipment attributes, and asset information.Support COBie data preparation and asset information requirements, where applicable.Ensure model data is accurate, complete, and aligned with project information requirements.Model Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)Perform quality checks on BIM models and associated drawings before submission.Verify dimensions, clearances, Revit families, coordinates, parameters, and model integrity.Check consistency between BIM models, shop drawings, approved design documents, and project specifications.Identify and correct modeling errors, data inconsistencies, and coordination issues.Ensure models and drawings comply with project standards and submission requirements.Deliverables ManagementPrepare, maintain, and submit the following deliverables as required by the project:Revit BIM models (.RVT).Navisworks coordination files (.NWC/.NWD).Shop drawings in PDF and DWG formats.Clash detection reports.BIM coordination reports.Model data sheets and quantity reports.As-built BIM models.Asset Information Models (AIM) and associated asset data, where required.Project and Team SupportSupport engineering and design teams with accurate BIM information and coordinated models.Assist factory and installation teams by providing relevant model views, drawings, dimensions, and interface details.Respond to technical comments and update models within agreed timelines.Coordinate with BIM Coordinators, BIM Managers, engineers, and other project stakeholders.Ensure BIM deliverables are completed in accordance with project milestones and submission schedules.Software RequirementsAutodesk Revit: BIM modeling, family management, and drawing production.Autodesk Navisworks Manage: Clash detection and multidisciplinary
