BIM Modeler (Architecture/Facade)

Role Overview

An Architectural Facade BIM Modeler is responsible for creating and managing Building Information Modeling (BIM) models for Architectural elements within a construction project. They work closely with architects, engineers, and other project stakeholders to ensure that the BIM model accurately represents the design intent and facilitates efficient construction and operation of the building.

Key Responsibilities:

• Model Creation: Develop detailed BIM models of architectural elements, including structural framing, walls, floors, ceilings, and finishes, using industry-standard software (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD Architecture).

• To model façade system (curtain wall, window system, roof egg crate, façade ceiling).

• To model Siphonic system (RWDP) into façade system.

• To ensure BMU system (restraint socket, safety hook, fall arrest, monorail spiderman interfacing to the façade ceiling) is captured in the model.

• To ensure façade lighting is captured in the model.

• To ensure drawings and 3D model produced are to quality that able to understand and follow by site staff.

• To check all shop drawings is up to standard to minimize rejection.

• To complete the As Build drawings on time at the end of project.

• Model Coordination: Collaborate with other project team members to ensure coordination between architectural elements and other building components (e.g., MEP, structural).

• Data Management: Manage and maintain BIM data, including material properties, equipment specifications, and system performance data.

• Clash Detection: Identify and resolve clashes between architectural elements and other building components to prevent construction errors and delays.

• Quantity Takeoffs: Generate accurate quantity takeoffs for architectural materials based on the BIM model.

• Documentation: Prepare architectural drawings, schedules, and other documentation based on the BIM model.

• As-Built Modeling: Create as-built BIM models to document the actual construction of architectural elements.

• BIM Standards Compliance: Ensure compliance with project-specific BIM standards and best practices.

• Focus on Architectural Items: Responsible for the progressive updating of all architectural drawings, construction model, and asset information model.

• Encoding Codes: Responsible for encoding all necessary 4D, 5D, and 6D codes.

• Clash Coordination: Inform technical coordinators and BIM coordinator on all model clashes and design discrepancies during construction model development.

• Clash Resolution: Ensure to achieve discipline-level clash-free or acceptable clash standards are observed in construction model and asset information model development.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Architecture or a related field.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience as an Architectural BIM Modeler.

• Proven experience in architectural BIM modeling, preferably in the construction industry.

• Proficiency in industry-standard BIM software (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD Architecture).

• Strong understanding of architectural design, construction methods, and materials.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to work effectively in a team environment.

• Attention to detail and accuracy.

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

Desired Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience with BIM collaboration platforms (e.g., ACC, BIM 360, Autodesk Collaboration).

• Knowledge of building codes and regulations.

• Certification in BIM Modeling (preferred).
