Typical Duties include but at not limited to:

• Develop a complete installation/coordination model including the following items:
• Overlay all trades individual models for initial clash detection/conflicts.
• Develop site plans showing all excavations ensuring accurate cut and fill quantities.
• Construct complete civil, architectural, structural, process mechanical and MEP systems virtual models showing routing of all piping, ductwork, plumbing, miscellaneous metals and electrical raceways. Incorporate existing project as-builds are included ensuring clash detection identifies all potential issues. Produce isometric drawings, 2D plans, and elevation cuts for the field are accurate and clear.
• Develop all structures in conjunction with the site plan and mechanical/electrical system layouts and routing highlighting all penetrations.
• Develop 3D models utilizing drawings, sketches, and design skills. Check and navigate for interferences and constructability in 3D models. Complete detailed models that can be utilized for complimentary data and information as well as include bill of materials (BOMs)
• Clash detection for interdisciplinary coordination. This includes all vendor-related equipment and block references based on approved submittals.
• Track and maintain live model from inception to 100% design.
