The BIM Coordinator plays a key role in improving how projects are delivered at ADAM Architecture. This role goes beyond model coordination to focus on structuring workflows, improving information consistency, and supporting teams in delivering high-quality, model-based outputs efficiently. Working closely with project teams and senior management, the BIM Coordinator will help embed best practice across ArchiCAD-based workflows while contributing to the ongoing development of the practice’s digital approach.

ADAM Architecture is a leading practitioner of traditional and progressive classical architecture and contextual urbanism in Europe. We are operated by an Executive Board of nine members, five of whom are Design Directors leading their own projects with their own design ethos, while all working together as experts in the field of Classical and Traditional architecture. With studios in Winchester and London, the portfolio of projects covers a range of houses and buildings; these include new town and country houses, conversions, renovations and extensions, largely for private owners; historic buildings such as monuments, protected and Listed buildings; commercial and institutional buildings such as hotel, healthcare and office buildings; residential developments, masterplans and new urban designs ranging in size from small village extensions to major new developments.
