- Coordinate models internally and participate in multi-trade coordination and clash detection.
- Incorporate submittals, specifications, and design updates into models.
- Create or request Revit families to support accurate modeling when needed.
- Model all required supports (clevis, trapeze, specialty hangers) with proper sizing and spacing.
- Ensure constructability, access, maintenance clearances, and field conditions are accounted for.
- Update models based on RFIs, field feedback, and design changes.
- Support field and fabrication teams with layout dimensions, spool drawings, and prefabrication efforts.
- Perform QA/QC checks on all models and drawings prior to release.
- Revit (Fabrication Parts) – primary modeling platform
- Navisworks – coordination and clash detection
