BIM Modeller

Roles and responsibilities

Job Description

• Works under direct supervision performing moderately complex technical work utilizing instructions, drawings, sketches and results from computer systems and schematics.
• May be involved in training and supervising technical personnel.
• May perform some data entry.

Qualifications

• Minimum Diploma Holders, Candidates with engineering degree will be given preference.
• Minimum three years of experience.

• . 3D Modeling

• Creating BIM Models: Using BIM software (such as Revit, ArchiCAD, or Bentley Systems) to create detailed 3D models of buildings, including architectural, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) elements.
• Integrating Systems: Developing models that integrate all disciplines (architecture, engineering, construction) into one cohesive design, ensuring coordination and minimizing clashes or conflicts.
• Modeling from Drawings: Translating 2D sketches, blueprints, and CAD drawings into accurate 3D models that represent the structure or building system.

• 2. Collaboration and Coordination

• Interdisciplinary Coordination: Working with architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure that the model reflects accurate design intent and that it integrates the work of all disciplines (e.g., structural, MEP).
• Clash Detection: Using software tools to identify and resolve clashes between different elements of the design, such as plumbing systems conflicting with structural beams or electrical systems.
• Collaboration Tools: Coordinating the BIM model with cloud-based platforms like Autodesk BIM 360 or Procore for real-time updates and communication among project teams.

• 3. Documentation and Drawing Generation

• Generating Construction Drawings: Producing detailed construction documentation from the BIM model, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and schedules. These documents are used for the actual construction phase of the project.
• Creating Reports: Generating quantities and cost estimates from the BIM model, which can help in project cost planning and management.
• Model Updates: Updating and maintaining the model throughout the project lifecycle to reflect changes in design, site conditions, or material specifications.

• 4. Quality Control and Accuracy

• Ensuring Accuracy: Ensuring that all models are accurate, comply with design specifications, and adhere to standards such as ISO 19650 (for BIM processes) or other project-specific requirements.
• Quality Assurance: Regularly checking the model for errors, inconsistencies, and potential problems to maintain high-quality standards throughout the project.
• Version Control: Keeping track of different versions and revisions of the model to ensure that the latest version is always available for the team.

Desired candidate profile

1. Proficiency in BIM Software: Expertise in software like Revit, Navisworks, ArchiCAD, Tekla Structures, Bentley Systems, and AutoCAD is crucial.
2. Technical Drawing Skills: Ability to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings and translate them into 3D models.
3. Knowledge of Building Systems: Understanding of construction, architectural design, structural systems, and MEP systems to create accurate models.
4. Attention to Detail: Ability to ensure that the model is precise, compliant with standards, and free of errors.
5. Collaboration Skills: Effective communication and collaboration with other project team members, including architects, engineers, and contractors, to ensure that the model is accurate and coordinated.
6. Problem-Solving: The ability to identify and resolve issues in the model, such as clashes or design inconsistencies.
7. Time Management: Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines, especially when working on large or complex projects.
8. Knowledge of Standards: Familiarity with relevant BIM standards and guidelines such as ISO 19650, as well as local or regional building codes.
9. Clash Detection and Coordination: Experience using BIM tools for clash detection (e.g., Navisworks) to detect and resolve conflicts in the design.
10. Communication Skills: The ability to communicate technical information clearly, both verbally and in writing, with other members of the team.
