  • Role: BIM & coordination lead
  • Location: San Diego, CA
  • Focus: Model management, clash resolution, federated coordination
  • Tools: Authoring standards & collaboration protocols

Portfolio overview

Shaun Hackett leads BIM coordination for NexaStruct, turning separate models into a conversation: structure, architecture, and MEP aligned to a common grid, shared coordinates, and naming that makes sense in review meetings.

His role is part technical and part facilitation—he helps teams see clashes as decisions waiting for owners, not surprises in the field.

Model entropy

Without leadership, federated models drift: levels misalign, links break, and clash tests produce noise instead of signal.

  • Inconsistent modeling standards across subconsultants
  • Clash priorities that do not reflect construction sequence
  • LOD mismatches that hide real coordination gaps
  • Turnover packages that must match contract deliverables

Coordination playbook

Shaun establishes repeatable clash workflows, clear ownership, and meeting rhythms that close issues instead of recycling them.

  • Coordination milestones tied to SD, DD, and CD reviews
  • Clash filters weighted by constructability and cost impact
  • Templates for views, sheets, and exports that reduce rework
  • Training touchpoints so engineers model to a common bar
