Role summary
The Visual Planning Product Implementation Specialist- trains project teams on NirmaanXD, sets up projects on the platform, and supports them through execution. The role owns the model-to-schedule link on each project: auditing the model, configuring it, building activity templates, and keeping the model current as the project moves.
About the Visual Planning Product - NirmaanXD
NirmaanXD is vConstruct's model-based construction planning and production tracking platform. It connects BIM models (Revit, IFC, Navisworks) to the construction schedule: model-based WBS creation, quantity-backed activity durations, 4D visualization, field-ready lookaheads, and progress tracking. Schedules exchange with Primavera P6 and MS Project through XML import/export.
Key responsibilities
Product training and onboarding
- Deliver NirmaanXD training to project teams: VDC, planners and schedulers, project engineers, superintendents, and trade partners.
- Onboard new users and projects; tailor sessions to each role's workflow.
- Maintain training material and act as first-line product support for assigned projects.
Project setup
- Model audit: review incoming models in Navisworks or similar tools and decide whether each model is usable as-is or needs modification. Check element categorization, parameters, levels and zones, naming, completeness, and level of detail against NirmaanXD's requirements.
- Document audit findings and the remediation required, with owner and timeline.
- Model configuration: set up element filtering and exclusion rules, WBS mapping, and location or zone breakdown.
- Activity template configuration: build activity mapping rules, quantity links, and production rates aligned to the project schedule.
Implementation support
- Support project teams through execution: model updates and re-imports, schedule alignment, lookaheads, and progress tracking setup.
- Troubleshoot data and configuration issues; escalate product defects to the NirmaanXD product team with clear reproduction steps.
- Capture user feedback and feature requests from projects.
Model queries
- Resolve model-related questions from project teams: missing or misclassified elements, quantity discrepancies, mapping gaps.
- Trace issues to source (model, configuration, or schedule) and fix or route them.
Project meetings
- Attend and lead weekly project meetings: Project Kick-off, Scope alignment, timeline, project setup and onboarding, open model and configuration issues, lookahead reviews, progress status.
- Track action items to closure.
Model changes
- Make model changes needed for NirmaanXD: add or correct parameters, split elements by pour or zone, reclassify elements, and fix naming.
- Coordinate larger changes with the model author.
Required skills
- Working understanding of BIM and VDC processes: model coordination, model structure, and how models feed downstream construction workflows.
- Hands-on experience performing model audits in Navisworks or similar tools: search and selection sets, property review, completeness checks.
- Ability to edit model data at least at the property and selection level to support configuration.
- Clear spoken and written English for training delivery and client-facing meetings with US project teams.
- Model authoring experience in Revit, Tekla, or similar tools.
Good-to-have skills
- Planning or scheduling experience: CPM scheduling in Primavera P6 or MS Project, WBS development, lookahead planning.
- Exposure to lean planning methods (Last Planner System, pull planning, TAKT) or 4D tools (Synchro, Navisworks TimeLiner).
- Quantity takeoff from models and familiarity with production rates by trade.
- Experience supporting US construction projects or field teams.
Competency
- Training delivery: explains a model-based workflow to users with no BIM background, including superintendents and trade foremen.
- Structured problem solving: isolates whether an issue sits in the model, the configuration, or the schedule before acting.
- Meeting ownership: runs a weekly meeting to an agenda, drives decisions, and closes actions.
- Data discipline: documents audit findings, configuration decisions, and model changes so another specialist can pick up the project.
- Product feedback: reports defects and gaps to the product team with evidence, not anecdotes
