HARRIS MCCALLUM

BIM Coordinator | FES | HMP Glasgow Project

Currently working as a BIM Coordinator at FES, contributing to the delivery of the HMP Glasgow project, a major custodial development requiring detailed coordination, accurate information management and high-quality Building Information Modelling (BIM).

My role involves developing, coordinating and maintaining detailed MEP models using Autodesk Revit, ensuring building services information is accurately represented and coordinated with the wider project design.

Key Responsibilities & Contributions

• BIM Modelling & Coordination: Developing and maintaining detailed Revit models for building services, ensuring model accuracy, consistency and compliance with project requirements.

• MEP Services Coordination: Coordinating mechanical and electrical building services within the digital model, identifying potential spatial conflicts and helping resolve coordination issues before they impact installation on site.

• Revit Model Management: Managing and updating project models to reflect design changes, maintain accurate information and support coordination between different disciplines.

• Houseblock Model Coordination: Working across five separate houseblock models (A, B, C, D and X), maintaining consistency across repeated building layouts and supporting efficient delivery through the reuse and coordination of modelled information.

• Technical Detailing: Modeled building services components and pipework, including dry riser systems, and developed plans and section views to effectively communicate design intent.

• Construction Documentation: Producing coordinated Revit views, plans, sections and drawing sheets to support technical reviews, design coordination and construction activities.

• BIM Efficiency & Standardisation: Streamlined repetitive modelling and documentation tasks, enhancing model consistency and minimising duplication of work.

• Design Coordination & Quality Assurance: Reviewing model information for accuracy, identifying discrepancies and supporting the delivery of coordinated information to project stakeholders.

• Digital Construction: Using BIM processes to improve visualisation, communication and collaboration between project teams, helping bridge the gap between design information and on-site installation.

Project Value & Impact

Working on HMP Glasgow provides valuable experience in the coordination and delivery of building services within a complex, security-sensitive construction environment. Accurate BIM information is essential to ensuring that services are properly coordinated, installation requirements are understood and design information can be communicated effectively across the project team.

Maintained consistent Revit models, developed construction-focused documentation, and improved modelling workflows across repeated houseblock layouts, contributing to efficient information production and enhanced coordination.

This role continues to develop my technical expertise in Autodesk Revit, BIM coordination, MEP modelling, construction documentation and digital construction delivery.

• I'm currently working on the Strathclyde Water Park redevelopment in Glasgow, where I'm responsible for coordinating Mechanical and Electrical services to RIBA Stage 4.
• Project Highlights:
• £1415m investment to transform the Watersports Centre into a low-carbon health and community hub
• Targeting near net-zero energy with water-source heat pumps, rooftop solar PV and highly efficient building fabric
• Forecasted 8093% reduction in energy use and carbon emissions
• New facilities including a waterfront cafe, flexible community and wellbeing spaces, upgraded changing rooms, accessibility improvements, and EV charging
• Part of North Lanarkshire Council's Country Parks for the Future strategy, delivering long-term community benefit and sustainability
• I'm proud to be contributing to such a forward-thinking project, helping to shape facilities that will serve the community for decades to come.

• Data Centre In Brussels

• My Role in this project was to coordinate both Mechanical and Electrical services, and also provide a clash free 3D Model and create 2D sheets for on site.

• BIM Technican

• My role within KEM Drawing Services LTD as a BIM Technician focused on the involvement in design and Coordination of mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, achieved by using BIM compliant computer aided design software, to collaborate with and create an informative 3D model. I am proficient in Revit, AutoCAD,Navis works & Microsoft office. Another role I had in my time at KEM was carrying out various As Fitted tasks for small projects so that they can submit their O&M manual at handover. This involved me having meetings to discuss certain changes within the project and sometimes producing 2D sketches..
• Collaborated with design and construction teams to ascertain and meet technical scope.
• Scheduled tasks strategically to meet set deadlines for construction work.
• Identified need for maintenance and repair work, scheduling as necessary.
• Assessed building proposals against safety and planning laws to maintain project compliance.
• Checked designs for potential risks and non-conformance issues with health and safety regulations.
• Designed and calculated heating and cooling loads for mechanical systems, using AutoCAD.

• Demonstrated expertise across various CAD software, including Navis works, AutoCAD and Revit.
• Devised design solutions to meet client brief requests.
• Engaged with public sector and community partners to deliver sustainable development projects.
• Visited sites to review work progress and drive process improvements.
• Worked on Various projects throughout my time. One being Atlantic Square Building 2, which I created a Revit As Fitted model for.
• Used coordination and planning skills to achieve results according to schedule.
• Carried out day-to-day duties accurately and efficiently.

• At Fes, the start of my engineering journey. I learned the basics and different pipe sizes, fittings and valves that are used in the industry. I would work in their workshop where they would construct modules that would contain both heating and chilled pipework and electrical services. One of my main duties was to make sure that all the modules and had the right pipe clip sizes on them... to do this,I first of all had read the module drawings that were made in the office on Revit, these would often have many sizes on them in regards to the pipework which therefor I had to go and arrange the pipe clips to match the diameter of pipe that require to be put on the modules. I would then install these clips using steel rods, plates, & nuts. This was purely a work experience job and helped me develop important knowledge and communication skills.
