Iran Mall — BIM Management

As a BIM Technician, my work on Iran Mall was focused on hands-on modeling, integration, and technical coordination for one of the largest mixed-use developments in the region:

• Model Integration: Brought together architectural, structural, and MEP models into federated BIM packages. This allowed the project team to visualize the entire building system in 3D and identify risks early.
• Standardization: Helped develop and enforce BIM protocols, including naming conventions, parameter standards, and Revit family templates. This reduced coordination errors by more than 20%.
• Clash Detection: Orchestrated clash-detection sessions in Navisworks, translating technical issues into clear, actionable resolutions for architects and engineers.
• Mentorship: Supported junior staff by teaching Revit modeling practices, project workflows, and BIM standards.
• BIM Library Development: Created and optimized Revit families and detail libraries that reduced modeling time and improved cross-discipline accuracy.
• Client / Contractor Support: Worked directly with external stakeholders to align BIM outputs with project goals, providing transparent documentation that contractors could trust.

This stage gave me a deep technical understanding of how large-scale BIM projects function and laid the groundwork for my later leadership role.

As I grew into a leadership role, I became the BIM Coordinator / BIM Manager for Amoodrah on the Iran Mall project. My focus shifted from hands-on modeling to management, leadership, and process control:

• BIM Department Founder: Established the firm’s first dedicated BIM unit, designing workflows and toolsets specifically for Iran Mall and later projects.
• BIM Execution Plan (BEP): Created a modular BEP tailored to the project’s complexity, defining LOD requirements, team responsibilities, and data exchange formats in line with ISO 19650 principles.
• Multi-Discipline Coordination: Led weekly BIM coordination meetings across architecture, structure, MEP, and façade design teams. Managed federated models and ensured alignment of all disciplines.
• Clash Resolution: Ran structured clash detection and reporting routines in Navisworks. Systematically tracked issues, assigned responsibilities, and followed through to resolution, reducing rework during construction.
• Documentation & BOQs: Oversaw the production of construction-ready documentation, quantity take-offs, and schedules extracted from BIM models. Ensured all deliverables met client and regulatory requirements.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Presented BIM strategies, progress, and model outputs to senior stakeholders, including developers and project managers. Ensured digital delivery matched construction milestones.
• Training & Standards: Trained architects and engineers on BIM tools, fostering a collaborative and BIM-literate project team. Built onboarding guides and standards that were adopted firm-wide.

Beyond day-to-day coordination, I was directly responsible for introducing BIM into Amoodrah’s workflows for Iran Mall — effectively transforming the firm from 2D-based methods into a BIM-capable organization:

• Introduced BIM Workflows: Championed the transition from CAD-based drafting to BIM, demonstrating the value of 3D coordination, automated documentation, and model-based construction support.
• Custom Standards & Templates: Developed Revit templates, detail libraries, and family standards specifically tailored to the scale and complexity of Iran Mall.
• Process Transformation: Redesigned internal workflows to integrate BIM into every phase of the project — from design development and clash detection to construction support and as-built documentation.
• Efficiency Gains: Reduced design review cycles significantly by replacing manual checking with model-based coordination.
• Legacy Impact: The BIM standards and workflows I created for Iran Mall became a foundation for Amoodrah’s future projects, cementing BIM as part of the company’s DNA.
