RFIs CVIs and Structural BIM models BIM is a mandatory working tool for this role all structural shop drawings must be produced from and traceable to the Revit Structure model and all project files must be managed through the CDE in compliance with ISO and the project BIM Execution Plan BEP BIM Coordinate with the BIM Manager BIM Coordinator to ensure that Structural technical requirements are properly reflected in the BIM workflow and project digital deliverables Provide Structural technical input to support BIM coordination model development clash review and constructionstage coordination Review BIMgenerated outputs from a Structural and constructability perspective including coordinated plans sections details schedules and 3D views where required Ensure that Structural shop drawings extracted from BIM models are technically correct coordinated with site requirements and aligned with the latest approved information Support the resolution of coordination issues identified through BIM reviews Attend BIM coordination meetings when Structural decisions constructability matters or technical clarifications are required Ensure that Structural team comments and decisions are properly communicated to the BIM team for model updates and coordination followup Coordinate with subcontractors and specialist suppliers to ensure their BIMrelated inputs are aligned with the approved Structural design shop drawings material submittals and site execution requirements Support the BIM Manager in validating that Structural deliverables are aligned with the project s BIM execution requirements without taking ownership of BIM management responsibilities Use BIM outputs as a coordination and decisionsupport tool to improve technical clarity reduce site conflicts and support timely approvals Escalate critical Structural coordination risks identified through BIM reviews to the Technical Office Manager and BIM Manager for action and resolution Engineering 1 Leadership Lead

consultant replies and ensure required updates are reflected in shop drawings BIM models procurement documents and site instructions Support the commercial QS team in identifying and substantiating architectural variations Review drawing changes specification changes and site instructions to determine technical cost and time impact Maintain proper records of RFIs CVIs drawing revisions approvals and changerelated correspondence 4 CDE Compliance Ensure all Structural submissions are properly prepared reviewed numbered and issued through the approved project CDE such as Asite Aconex Autodesk Construction Cloud or any clientmandated platform Ensure engineering documents are exchanged through the approved internal and external submission workflows Maintain drawing registers revision logs submission trackers approval status logs and technical correspondence records Ensure superseded drawings and documents are properly controlled to avoid site execution based on outdated information Enforce proper naming conventions revision control document metadata and approval workflows 5 Site Technical Support Provide technical support to site engineers and construction teams during execution
