ARCHITECTURAL BIM COORDINATOR

PURPOSE OF THE JOB: The purpose of an Architectural BIM Coordinator is to ensure the efficient and accurate implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes within architectural projects. Their role bridges the gap between design teams, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders by managing and coordinating digital models to ensure that all aspects of the project are integrated, aligned, and meet the required standards. RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Develop, manage, and maintain accurate BIM models throughout the project lifecycle.
2. Ensure the integration of architectural BIM models with structural, MEP, and other disciplines.
3. Perform clash detection and resolution using software like Navisworks or Revit to avoid conflicts between design elements.
4. Coordinate with external consultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders to ensure seamless collaboration.
5. Ensure that all BIM models adhere to company and industry standards, including ISO 19650 or project-specific protocols.
6. Conduct regular audits of BIM models to verify that they meet quality standards and project specifications.
7. Implement and maintain BIM Execution Plans (BEP) and ensure compliance with project requirements.
8. Assist with the production of architectural BIM models and generate 2D drawings and documentation from the models.
9. Maintain accurate as-built models during construction and post-construction phases.
10. Collaborate with design teams to ensure accurate documentation of design intent.
11. Serve as the key point of contact for BIM coordination between architects, engineers, contractors, and other project stakeholders.
12. Lead coordination meetings, facilitating communication between different disciplines to resolve issues and maintain project alignment.
13. Provide feedback and recommendations to architects and engineers based on clash reports and model reviews.
14. Provide technical support and training to architectural and design teams on BIM software (such as Revit, Navisworks, or AutoCAD).
15. Mentor and guide team members in understanding and adopting BIM processes.
16. Ensure that all team members are familiar with BIM tools and best practices.
17. Develop, refine, and implement BIM workflows, standards, and protocols to optimize project delivery.
18. Collaborate with project managers and team leaders to ensure that BIM processes are incorporated into project planning.
19. Stay up-to-date with advancements in BIM technology and software, incorporating new tools and techniques into workflows.
20. Perform clash detection using specialized software like Navisworks or BIM 360 to identify potential conflicts between architectural elements and other disciplines.
21. Coordinate with the relevant teams to resolve clashes before construction, reducing rework and delays onsite.
22. Collaborate closely with clients to understand their BIM requirements and ensure that models and documentation meet or exceed expectations.
23. Assist in the development of presentations and visualizations using BIM models to convey design concepts to clients.

1. Bachelor's Degree in Architecture, Engineering, or a related field.
2. Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Revit is essential for creating and managing architectural models.
3. Experience using Navisworks for clash detection and model coordination.
4. Proficiency in 2D and 3D drafting using AutoCAD is often required.
5. Knowledge of cloud-based BIM platforms like Autodesk BIM 360 or equivalent tools for collaboration and data management.
6. Familiarity with international BIM standards such as ISO 19650, AIA BIM standards, or project-specific guidelines (BIM Execution Plans).
7. Ability to create, implement, and manage BIM Execution Plans that define the standards, workflows, and processes for project delivery.
8. Expertise in running clash detection reports and coordinating between various disciplines to resolve model issues.
