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. Established digital engineering coordination across teams in line with ISO 19650.
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 and coordinated 5 people across 3 organisations in line with ISO19650, resulting in positive client feedback for resolving complex operational and inter-organisational challenges.
