The Opportunity
The VDC Coordinator III develops and maintains models and supports VDC procedures across HBC projects, serving as a liaison between departments, clients, and architects. You're hands-on in the model — building, coordinating, and documenting — while learning to manage the full VDC process.
This role blends modeling, quantity takeoff, scheduling support, and trade coordination on active projects.

- Serve as Model Administrator for assigned projects, manage model change control, and keep the BIM revision log.
- Identify conflicts and incomplete or ambiguous design information and develop models to illustrate questions and solutions.
- Create new library components, update as-built and revised models, and distribute models showing changes and RFI answers.
- Coordinate with BIM service providers and subcontractors and assist with subcontracting assignments to outside vendors.
Quantities & Scheduling Support
- Derive material quantities, perform quantity take-offs, and produce quantity reports and surveys.

- Develop the design-phase schedule and the modeling and coordination schedule.
- Prepare 4D simulations and integrate long-lead items as required.
Trade & Field Coordination
- Define scopes of work, evaluate field problems, and issue RFIs; maintain control logs and review submittal/expediting logs for VDC models.
- Attend and/or manage model coordination and VDC meetings, write minutes, and record coordination sign-offs.
- Process shop/fabrication-level models for approval and coordinate with internal and subcontractor detailers.
- Evaluate construction installations against the 3D coordinated models and prepare shop-drawing-level models for self-performed work.
- Produce dimensioned drawings from the model and support job layout driven by 3D model data.
