Align models with project scope, schedule, and delivery objectives to support timely project completion. Coordinate closely with project stakeholders to ensure models accurately reflect engineering intent and field needs. Prepare models for direct use by prefabrication and field teams, ensuring they are clear, accurate, and construction-ready. Support project teams by resolving modeling issues and updating models as design or field conditions evolve. Essential Skills Proficiency in Revit Capability to progress models to LOD 350–400, including detailed routing and hanger placement.
