• Prepare coordinated shop drawings builders work drawings and as-built documentation

• Maintain model accuracy naming conventions drawing standards and project BIM requirements

2. Coordination & Clash Detection

• Coordinate firefighting models with architectural structural mechanical electrical plumbing and other building services models

• Identify review and resolve clashes using BIM coordination software

• Participate in coordination meetings and provide technical input on constructability and installation requirements

• Review coordinated models and drawings before submission for design consultant or authority approval

• Raise technical queries and coordinate with engineers and project teams to resolve design discrepancies

3. Technical Compliance & Quality Control

• Ensure BIM models and drawings comply with approved specifications project standards NFPA BS codes and relevant local authority requirements

• Review design drawings specifications equipment schedules and material submittals before modelling

• Check dimensions pipe sizes elevations flow directions equipment locations and system layouts for accuracy

• Support the preparation of material take-offs and quantity schedules from coordinated BIM models

• Maintain quality control records and incorporate review comments within agreed project timelines

4. Project Support & Collaboration
