What the work involves

You are not reviewing someone else's markups. Tasks centre on authoring: building or extending a BIM model in Revit, ArchiCAD or BlenderBIM, producing coordinated plans, elevations, sections and schedules, then exporting to IFC 2x3 or IFC4 and validating that geometry, classification and property mapping survived the round trip. Alongside the model, you write the rationale — why this framing scheme, which code clause governs the detail, where the constructability risk sits. That written trace is often more valuable to the customer than the model file itself, because it is what teaches a model to reason rather than to pattern-match.

Other task types ask you to judge machine or human output: does this generated drawing set hold up against ACI or Eurocode, is this IFC classification mapping defensible, would this detail actually be buildable on site. Some shifts involve stress-testing BIM tools and data workflows and reporting where they break. No prior AI experience is expected; micro1 trains contributors on the annotation conventions.

What the platform screens for

  • Authoring hours, not exposure. Five years post-degree producing complete sets, three years of daily BIM authoring. Expect follow-ups asking which projects, which discipline scope, what you personally modelled.
  • IFC fluency under questioning. 2x3 versus IFC4 differences, IfcClass mapping, property set behaviour on export, what you do when geometry arrives mangled in Solibri or Navisworks.
  • Code literacy you can cite. Naming a code family is not enough; screeners probe whether you can reach for a specific provision and explain what it governs.
  • Written precision in English. Much of the deliverable is prose. Vague or hedged technical writing is a common rejection reason.

Logistics

Fully remote, contractor engagement, asynchronous. You need your own workstation and licensed access to a BIM authoring tool — micro1 does not typically supply seats. Contributors commonly report 15–30 hours per week with project-level deadlines rather than fixed shifts; volume fluctuates with the end customer's task queue, so treat it as supplementary rather than guaranteed income. Pay in the $30–50/hr band is as observed by contributors and varies with task complexity and region.
