BIM Modeler Fire Fighting System

The BIM Modeler Firefighting Systems will develop maintain and coordinate Building Information Models for firefighting and life-safety systems. The role involves producing accurate 3D models detailed drawings layouts and installation documentation in accordance with project requirements approved designs NFPA/BS standards and local authority regulations. The position works closely with design engineering estimation procurement and project teams to support coordinated and efficient project delivery.

1. BIM Modelling & Documentation

• Create and update BIM models for firefighting systems including wet and dry risers sprinklers hydrants hose reels deluge systems foam systems fire pumps tanks and associated pipework

• Develop detailed plans sections elevations schematics isometric drawings and installation drawings from approved design information

• Model firefighting equipment valves fittings supports sleeves and other system components accurately

• Prepare coordinated shop drawings builders work drawings and as-built documentation

• Maintain model accuracy naming conventions drawing standards and project BIM requirements

2. Coordination & Clash Detection

• Coordinate firefighting models with architectural structural mechanical electrical plumbing and other building services models

• Identify review and resolve clashes using BIM coordination software

• Participate in coordination meetings and provide technical input on constructability and installation requirements

• Review coordinated models and drawings before submission for design consultant or authority approval

• Raise technical queries and coordinate with engineers and project teams to resolve design discrepancies

3. Technical Compliance & Quality Control

• Ensure BIM models and drawings comply with approved specifications project standards NFPA BS codes and relevant local authority requirements

• Review design drawings specifications equipment schedules and material submittals before modelling

• Check dimensions pipe sizes elevations flow directions equipment locations and system layouts for accuracy

• Support the preparation of material take-offs and quantity schedules from coordinated BIM models

• Maintain quality control records and incorporate review comments within agreed project timelines

4. Project Support & Collaboration

• Work closely with design engineers project managers site teams estimators procurement teams and subcontractors

• Provide updated drawings and model information to support construction fabrication installation and commissioning activities

• Assist site teams with technical clarification installation details and drawing revisions

• Support preparation of operation and maintenance drawings record drawings and handover documentation

• Maintain accurate records of model revisions drawing submissions approvals and coordination comments

5. BIM Standards & Continuous Improvement

• Follow project BIM execution plans information requirements document control procedures and common data environment protocols

• Maintain and develop firefighting families templates libraries and modelling standards

• Contribute to BIM coordination reviews lessons learned and improvements to modelling workflows

• Keep up to date with BIM technology firefighting design practices software updates and industry standards
