What are the responsibilities and job description for the VDC/BIM Modeler position at ppcpartners?
The Detailer / Modeler is responsible for creating and maintaining accurate 3D models and coordinated construction drawings using Autodesk Revit. This role supports the design, coordination, and installation efforts by translating design intent and field input into detailed, buildable models. The Detailer works closely with project managers, engineers, prefab teams, and field supervisors to ensure that models and drawings reflect current project conditions and contribute to efficient installation and prefabrication.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, update, and maintain detailed 3D Revit models for electrical and/or MEP systems.
- Produce coordinated shop drawings, installation drawings, and prefab spool sheets.
- Collaborate with VDC, prefab, and field teams to ensure accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project standards.
- Participate in coordination meetings and clash detection reviews (e.g., Navisworks, ACC).
- Incorporate markups, field redlines, and design revisions into the model.
- Maintain model organization, naming conventions, and project file standards.
- Support prefabrication by generating detailed assemblies and quantity takeoffs.
- Assist in implementing BIM standards, templates, and best practices across projects.
- Coordinate model data with other trades to minimize field conflicts and rework.
