Some things you can expect to do:

Create and integrate a construction model for use in coordinating construction activities and conflict resolution between design and construction disciplines. Includes modeling architecture, structural, MEP, site design and other disciplines as necessary. Construction model may start from either 2D plans or a 3D design model.
Identify clashes between building systems and construction materials to resolve conflicts before encountering them on-site.
Facilitate meetings for coordination of construction and design disciplines, inclusive of subcontractors and vendors, in relation to the construction model.
Create 4D schedules to coordinate construction model with the project schedule. Update 4D schedules to track progress, convey short-term activities (ex., 2-week look ahead) and manage critical path milestones.
Complete quantity take-offs from model to be used for estimating, material orders and work planning.
Leverage construction model for staging and onsite logistics.
Review shop drawings with construction model for accuracy. Coordinate with other disciplines to process shop drawings.
Track RFIs and use construction model to assist in responding to them.
Assist with project punch lists and incorporate items into construction model.
Using construction model, identify areas with restricted access to easily and effectively maintain building systems.
Update construction model to be used as a record model and given to the owner at the completion of construction. This has potential to be the start of a facility model that could integrate with facility management systems.
Add to library of common virtual construction elements to be used on future projects
A large portion of time will be spent on project job sites. Travel may be required for those sites, including out of state jobs.
