The VDC/BIM Manager is responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
and
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
strategies for factory projects. This includes managing the technical, operational, and procedural aspects of BIM implementation, ensuring quality, and facilitating collaboration between all stakeholders in the
EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management)
model.
* Develop and manage data standards and protocols, ensuring consistent data structure and visibility across AESC's cloud platforms.
* Enforce the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and BIM Employee Information Requirements (EIR) for each factory project, ensuring compliance with AESC standards and industry best practices.
* Establish collaboration standards between architects, engineers, contractors, and internal stakeholders to ensure smooth BIM implementation and collaboration.
* Collaborate with IE, GEC manufacturing teams on software solutions and cloud platform management, ensuring seamless information exchange between the design teams.
* Research, select, and implement appropriate BIM software solutions, ensuring compatibility and integration across teams, contractors, and subcontractors.
* Develop an information security matrix and define access control protocols to safeguard sensitive project data.
* Set information requirements and quality control measures for 3D and 4D factory models, conducting regular audits of data and models submitted by subcontractors to ensure they meet required standards.
* Conduct capability assessments of contractors and subcontractors regarding BIM processes to ensure project team readiness and compliance with AESC's standards.
* Organize and oversee BIM and VDC-related training programs, providing engineering software support and troubleshooting to ensure project teams have the necessary skills.
* Establish a reality capture solution for the projects to ensure data high accuracy post design kick off.
* Implement a structured project document system in collaboration with document control teams, ensuring organized and efficient document handling.
* Implement reality capture solutions for progress tracking of the installation process during construction.
* Create and maintain a global AESC equipment database, ensuring integration into BIM models for accurate asset tracking and management.
* Ensure the project's final information is delivered to AESC as per the agreed Exchange Information Requirements and available to the Facility Management and operations team.
Deliverables:
* Employee Information Requirements (EIR) based on the project needs.
* Collaboration guidelines to all teams for smooth BIM integration.
* BIM software selection with integration of reality capture and information security plans.
* Delivered quality audit reports for 3D and 4D models with contractor feedback.
* Created and tracked BIM/VDC training program with materials and assessments.
