1. Project Execution Planning for Building Information Modeling (BIM)
© 2009
Meeting #11 – August 18th, 2009
A buildingSMART Alliance project sponsored by:
The Charles Pankow Foundation
Construction Industry Institute (CII)
Penn State Office of Physical Plant (OPP)
PACE

2. The Challenge
Develop a BIM project execution plan for a project which defines the appropriate uses for BIM, a process for BIM implementation, the information exchanges, and the infrastructure to support the various processes.

3. Project Goals
Identify current Uses of BIM throughout the lifecycle of a project
Develop a standardized procedure for implementing BIM Uses specific to a project.
Test the standardized procedure using case studies and focus groups
Disseminate the results
BIM Project Execution Planning Guide
Interactive execution planning templates
Presentations at national conferences e.g. buildingSMART, AIA, AGC BIMForum, DBIA, CII, CMAA, CURT
Articles in industry and academic publications

6. Execution Planning Process Concept:

17. Developing the Plan for a Project
Meeting 1: Define BIM Uses and Goals
Following the meeting, responsible parties develop draft process maps for uses
Meeting 2: Design the BIM Process
Following the meeting, information exchanges teams draft exchange requirements
Meeting 3: Review IE Requirements and Define Infrastructure
Meeting 4: Review Final BIM Execution Plan
