- Ensure all background references are up to date with the latest design packages, RFIs, and consultant revisions.
- Track and document version updates to background files; maintain revision history and change logs.
- Maintain communication logs for background updates, RFIs, and design revisions to ensure auditability.
Model Integration Support

- Coordinate with BIM Coordinators, Modelers, and Engineers to confirm proper file integration and reference accuracy.
- Notify VDC BIM Coordinator and VDC BIM Modeler when updates to backgrounds may affect current model geometry.
- Escalate unresolved background discrepancies to the VDC BIM Coordinator.
