Development & Design BIM Manager

Tasks & Responsibilities

Managerial/

Leadership Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the design process for hospitality projects, including hotels and resorts, from concept design through construction documentation and site execution.

• Coordinate with international hotel operators and brand representatives to ensure alignment with brand standards and guidelines.

• Drive design Excellence across architecture, Interior design and coordination of related trades teams with consultants, and external stakeholders to ensure design quality and project timelines are met.

• Review and approve design drawings, material selections, and technical documentation.

• Ensure compliance with local and international building codes, regulations, and project-specific guidelines.

• Integrate BIM processes into project workflows and ensure proper coordination across disciplines.

• Conduct design reviews, value engineering, and risk assessments to optimize project outcomes.

• Collaborate closely with project management, engineering, and construction teams to ensure seamless project delivery.

• Monitor project progress and provide technical guidance during construction phases.

• Maintain high standards of design excellence, functionality, and guest experience.

• Manage external consultants, and stakeholders across disciplines.

• Define and manage Employer’s Information Requirements (EIR) and BIM deliverables for each project (including LOD/LOI, naming conventions, classification, coordinates, model exchange formats, and digital handover requirements).

• Lead the review/acceptance of consultant and contractor BIM Execution Plans (BEP), including MIDP/TIDP, responsibility matrices, model production schedules, and CDE workflows.

• Govern the Common Data Environment (CDE) implementation and usage (permissions, naming, statuses, transmittals, version control, approvals), ensuring auditability and information traceability.

• Oversee multi-discipline design model coordination (Architecture, Structure, MEP, ELV, Landscape, Interiors/FF&E where applicable), including clash detection governance, issue management, prioritization, and closure verification.

• Establish and execute BIM QA/QC controls (model integrity, geometry, parameters, data completeness, coordinates, and compliance with Dan Co. standards), issuing periodic quality reports and corrective actions.

• Ensure BIM supports design decision-making and approvals by enabling clear design coordination outputs, issue logs, and visualizations for stakeholder reviews.

• Maintain structured interfaces with Project Controls to provide BIM-driven inputs/assurance that enable schedule/cost reporting (e.g., model status, deliverable maturity, change impacts), without taking ownership of planning/cost functions.

• Coordinate BIM interfaces with key hospitality systems and specialist vendors (e.g., BMS, lighting control, AV, security, IT/structured cabling, elevators, kitchens/laundry) to protect guest experience, maintainability, and operational performance.

• Lead governance of as-built model/data readiness and digital handover, ensuring agreed acceptance checks are completed and that handover packages meet operational requirements (asset registers, equipment data, locations, warranties/O&M linkages as applicable).

• Support risk and change controls by identifying BIM/information risks (late models, incomplete data, coordination gaps), assessing impact, and escalating actions for resolution and approvals through the Design Director.
