• Ensure that architectural shop drawings extracted from BIM models are technically correct, coordinated with site requirements, and aligned with the latest approved information.
• Support the resolution of coordination issues identified through BIM reviews, particularly where architectural interfaces are affected by structure, MEP, façade, ID, or specialist trades.
• Attend BIM coordination meetings when architectural decisions, constructability matters, or technical clarifications are required.
• Ensure that architectural team comments and decisions are properly communicated to the BIM team for model updates and coordination follow-up.
• Coordinate with subcontractors and specialist suppliers to ensure their BIM-related inputs are aligned with the approved architectural design, shop drawings, material submittals, and site execution requirements.
• Support the BIM Manager in validating that architectural deliverables are aligned with the project’s BIM execution requirements, without taking ownership of BIM management responsibilities.
• Use BIM outputs as a coordination and decision-support tool to improve technical clarity, reduce site conflicts, and support timely approvals.
• Escalate critical architectural coordination risks identified through BIM reviews to the Technical Office Manager and BIM Manager for action and resolution.
