Job description
VDC Manager / BIM MANAGER (Plumbing & Utility)


Position Summary:


The VDC Manager is a senior leadership role responsible for the overall accuracy, coordination, constructability, and field implementation of BIM models for all plumbing projects.

This position owns the BIM, layout, and prefabrication workflow from design coordination through field installation and project closeout.

The VDC Manager ensures BIM models meet company quality standards, support efficient and profitable installation, and are fully coordinated and optimized before being issued to the field or presented in coordination meetings.

Additionally, the VDC Manager supports project management with information needed to order material, write RFI's, prepare accurate change orders, and keep the field updated as our BIM models change throughout each project.

Lastly, this position supports the field with information needed for accurate layout of our coordinated models, providing information, instruction, and guidance to support production.


Leadership and Oversight:

  • Lead, supervise, and mentor BIM Detailer(s) & assign priorities aligned with project schedules.
  • Continuously review BIM models for accuracy, coordination, and constructability.
  • Enforce company BIM quality standards prior to external delivery.
  • Review models and direct BIM Detailers to make corrections with regards to systems optimization and clash resolution prior to meetings.
  • Ensure all reasonable internal coordination is complete before BIM meetings. Prevent avoidable clashes from reaching coordination meetings.
  • Review BIM models to ensure systems are arranged in the most cost-effective manner, optimizing efficiency and profitability, while maintaining overall requirements of the contract documents and/or design intent.
  • Attend and represent the company in BIM coordination meetings.
  • Own, manage, and improve BIM workflow, prefabrication operations, RVT family and fabrication databases.

Project Management/Management Support:

  • Assist Project Manager(s) in preparing and review RFIs using snapshots from plans and/or models with suggested constructable solutions. Assist in distributing RFI's to address and resolve design issues prior to discovery in meetings.
  • Export and/or oversee the exporting of bills of material (BOM's) from the BIM models.
  • Delegate and oversee the annotation process for all shop drawings and spool drawings. Review drawings for quality and accuracy before distributing to the field for installation.
  • Review 3D models for accuracy and quality and distribute to the field.
  • Convey and distribute all information contained in the models to the field and ensure the crews have everything they need to perform a proper installation based on the models.
  • Communicate any changes or updates to the field personnel and ensure they've received the most current 3D models, shop drawings, and spool drawings.
Collaborate with Project Managers to stay apprised of any design changes. Ensure such changes are incorporated into the models, shop drawings, and spool drawings. Communicate such changes to field leadership and ensure models are re-distributed accordingly.


  • Assist Project Managers with BOM's for change proposals. Review change order proposals and assist with change order revisions when necessary.
  • Provide information and guidance to Project Managers to identify and resolve issues, allocate resources appropriately, and to ensure projects are running efficiently and profitably.
  • Oversee preparation of LOD 500 as-built drawings and assist Project Managers with closeout delivery.

Layout and Field Support:

  • Communicate with GC clients to coordinate and request control points and control maps.
  • Prepare and process export files for import into layout equipment (robotic total stations). Clean up exported files, bind external references, and reduce file sizes as needed.
  • Verify control points are accurately represented on shop drawings and layout equipment.
  • Provide training, guidance, troubleshooting assistance, and any other support our crews need to perform efficient and accurate layouts.
  • Identify complexities and areas of unusual difficulty on projects and assist Operations and field leadership with visualization and solutions. Provide insight and guidance with regards to sequencing and means & methods.
  • Visit jobsites to observe and address any installation issues or inconsistencies between BIM models and field conditions. Guide and support field leadership as needed to optimize installation efficiency and layout accuracy.
