Context
A rail network project required BIM models for one client team and drawings/documentation for another. Multiple organisations (discipline consultants and external modellers) needed to collaborate under strict digital engineering standards and toolsets.
My role
-
Identified an early mismatch between client department expectations and convened a joint working session to align delivery approach
-
Interpreted extensive client BIM documentation into a clear delivery plan (IDP + model responsibility table) aligned to submission gates and quality expectations
-
Produced exchange / delivery documentation for our scope (DEXP) and supporting requirements documentation
-
Set up collaboration across platforms (including Revizto workflows and clash investigation) and supported delivery into client systems
-
Mentored external modellers on geolocation, standards, and interpreting requirements
-
Coached managers and engineers to adopt CDE-based issue tagging and collaboration practices
Deliverables
-
IDP + delivery responsibility table, DEXP, and supporting requirements documentation
-
Fully developed, geo-coordinated building model integrating architectural, civil/structural, and electrical equipment inputs
-
Clash investigation setup and outputs
-
Drawing/documentation packages
-
Collaboration cadence (issue tagging workflow + facilitated coordination meetings)
Outcome
Galvanised four organisations and two client teams into a single, workable delivery approach. Improved alignment on standards, geolocation, and responsibilities, enabling smooth submission gates and credible digital engineering collaboration. Coached 5 people across 3 organisations, with positive client feedback for resolving complex operational and inter-organisational challenges.
