BIM EXECUTION PLAN

For every project it is necessary to establish a BIM Execution Plan (BEP). We will study the bases and objectives of the BEP.

The intent of the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is to define a foundational framework to ensure successful deployment of advanced design technologies on your BIM enabled project.
The BEP is about optimizing work and model flow across the project, as contrasted with optimizing siloed interests.
The key is good planning of the design-to-engineering-to-construction process to minimize downstream surprises, rework, redundancies or gaps in the flow of (model-based) information.
The BEP is to be completed in a collaborative environment at the project’s kick-off meeting. The data entry to, and distribution of, the projects BEP is the responsibility of the Project Architect unless another design-side team member is better qualified to coach the team on collaborative workflows.

The A/E team shall schedule a follow-up BIM meeting to review BEP, process, and guidelines with all stakeholders, including BIM integrators and reviewers.

It is expected that there will be in-depth discussion into the specifics of some of the items. The BEP is laying the foundation for your entire BIM project and errors made in this early stage of planning will have major negative downstream implications.

Some points to establish in the BEP:

• Basic facts of the project such as project number, site and building address, major milestones, and project contacts.
• The specifics of the project.
• All project contacts.
• Establish the objectives for the project.
• Define the overall strategy for collaboration on the team:

Layout what meetings will be scheduled to facilitate team communication.
Agree to how and when model data will be exchanged
Workspaces allow for the entire team to work on their models in a single space.

• Model integration methodology: set-up, objectives, facilitation, stakeholder, roles, frequency, location, resolution.
• Clearly define how the team will implement a quality control procedure to ensure the highest quality of both building and data
