- Template Creation: Supporting the development of client-team-specific templates in Revit based on best practices, leveraging necessary technical expertise to drive improved outcomes.
- Quality Control: Ensuring compliance with BIM standards and guidelines as well as reporting accuracy related to data extracted from the models including costs and takeoffs.
- Training and Support: Providing drawing technology training modules individually and leveraging external learning modules to support team members in advancing skills and tool adoption.
