VDC Lead Coordinator

Position Summary

The VDC Lead Coordinator is responsible for leading the development, coordination, and management of detailed 3D mechanical and plumbing models using Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) methodologies. This role requires strong technical expertise in Revit, Sys Que, and Navisworks, along with a solid understanding of construction processes, mechanical and plumbing systems, and industry standards.

The VDC Lead Coordinator will collaborate closely with architects, engineers, project managers, construction teams, and other trades to ensure projects are accurately modeled, properly coordinated, constructible, and compliant with contract requirements, specifications, and applicable codes.

Essential Responsibilities

• Lead the development and coordination of detailed mechanical and plumbing models using Revit and the SysQue database.
• Ensure VDC models are developed in accordance with contract documents, project standards, specifications, and established modeling procedures.
• Lead clash detection and resolution efforts using Navisworks.
• Coordinate mechanical and plumbing systems with structural, architectural, electrical, and other trades.
• Identify, document, and resolve design conflicts and constructability issues.
• Communicate with internal project teams to obtain missing information and ensure models are complete and accurate.
• Interpret mechanical and plumbing specifications, construction documents, and applicable codes.
• Review equipment, fixture, and specialty-item submittals and incorporate relevant information into project models.
• Represent mechanical and plumbing systems during coordination meetings with project stakeholders and other trades.
• Lead coordination discussions and provide technical guidance to team members.
• Monitor model quality, accuracy, and compliance with project requirements.
• Assist project teams with constructability reviews, design coordination, and field-related VDC requirements.
• Support project managers, engineers, estimators, and field teams throughout the project lifecycle.
• Promote consistent VDC/BIM standards, workflows, and best practices across assigned projects.
