BIM Execution Plan

The project BIM Execution Plan defines how the modeling aspect of the project is to be carried out and how the model and data are formatted. It should specifically address the Client’s BIM Brief if one exists or, for full PAS1192-2 compliance, the “Employer’s Information Requirements” and may form the basis of the Supply Chain Information Execution Plan (SCEIP).
As a stand-alone project document, the Project BIM Execution Plan document shall address as a minimum the following key items:
• Goals and Uses: Define the project’s BIM goals, uses and aspirations along with the workflows required to deliver them.
• Standards: The BIM standard used in the project and any deviation from that standard.
• Software Platform: Defines BIM software to be utilised and how interoperability issues will be addressed.
• Stakeholders: Identifies project leadership and additional stakeholders and their roles and responsibilities.
• Meetings: Defines the BIM meeting frequency and attendees.
• Project Deliverable: Defines the project deliverable and the format in which it is delivered and exchanged.
• Project Characteristics: Number of buildings, size, location etc. Division of the work and schedule.
• Shared Coordinates: Defines the common coordinate system for all BIM data. Details modifications to imported DWG/DGN coordinates.
• Data Segregation: Addressing model organisational structures where relevant to enable multi-discipline, multi-user access and project phasing as well as ownership of project BIM data.
• Checking/Validation: Defines the checking/validation process of drawings and BIM data.
• Data Exchange: Defines the communication protocols along with the frequency and form of data exchange.
• Project Review Dates: Sets out key dates for reviews of the BIM which all teams buy in to (both internal to the company and externally with the full design team).
The project should regularly review its BIM process and update the BIM Execution Plan accordingly.
A Project BIM Execution Plan pro-forma and a complementary Project BIM Execution Plan Guidance Note are available and shall be used to ensure consistency between projects. Larger and more complex projects may warrant additional clarification; the strategy document will expand accordingly.
