About the Role

Every project using Revit requires a BIM Lead. The primary function is to manage the process of virtually constructing a project and documenting the design and contract documents accurately. As BIM Lead, you are required to have a thorough understanding of how Revit works and how it should be used to achieve project design and documentation goals. You will coordinate closely with the Project Architect, Design Lead, and other team members to craft how the project is setup and executed. You need to be conversant in the design process, project deliverables, production standards and building construction so the model is assembled to the appropriate Level of Development (LOD) for project milestones.
