• Establish documentation standards, naming conventions, file structures, LOD matrix and model audit processes.
• Set up and govern the Common Data Environment (ACC/BIM360) including permissions, workflows, coordination model structure and milestone gates.
• Conduct BIM/VDC discovery and evaluation of existing project conditions.
• Provide clear definitions of 4D/5D integration expectations (rules, inputs, requirements) without performing scheduling or cost modeling work.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for owners on all Digital Delivery Program matters.
• Facilitate alignment between owner objectives, design intent, fabrication needs and field execution requirements.
• Document decisions, requirements and constraints that impact digital delivery.
• Review and validate VDC scope expectations with design partners, trade contractors and owner consultants.
• Coordinate with other third-party BIM/VDC vendors to ensure compliance with program standards.
• Translate owner/program requirements into actionable scope to be delivered by VEC Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Civil, Coordination, On-Site QC, Scanning and Implementation teams.
• Participate in internal kickoff, pre-planning and milestone check-ins for all active VEC scopes.

• Support QA/QC reviews of models, documentation and coordination outputs.
• Oversee the execution of all VEC Digital Delivery scopes at the program level.
• Maintain visibility on timeline, risk, resourcing needs, and upstream/downstream dependencies.
• Track compliance with program-wide standards, workflows, and owner requirements.
• Facilitate periodic program reviews, alignment meetings, and reporting to ownership teams.
• Escalate major risks, design coordination issues, and technical blockers early with recommended solutions.
• Define the technology stack required for digital delivery (ACC, scanning, point layout, coordination tools, parameters, metadata structure etc.)
• Support development of digital twin requirements and asset data structures.
• Provide direction on how design data, construction models and field data should connect across the lifecycle.
• Evaluate workflows for constructability, clash avoidance, risk mitigation and early design issue detection.
• Maintain program knowledge base, templates and lessons learned for repeatability.
• Define FM/digital twin deliverable requirements early.
• Maintain consistent program documentation including: Digital Delivery Playbook, BIM Execution Plan Framework, Program Standards Log, Issue Logs and Model Audit Reports, LOD Matrix, Tech Stack & Core Platforms, Shared Parameters, Model Metadata, 4D/5D Readiness, Federated Model, Clash Sequencing, Coordination Sequencing, Design + Construction Model Development, Gap Scope Modeling, Reporting / Dashboards, FM / Digital Twin Considerations.
• Ensure program-level documentation is clear, controlled, and shared across all stakeholders.
• Standardize deliverables, workflows, and reporting formats across service lines for continuity.
• Support scope definition, clarifications, and assumptions during proposal and contract stages.
• Identify opportunities for VEC service lines to provide additional value through early involvement.
• Review project performance, risk exposure, and alignment with VEC operational standards.
