Project Execution Planning for Building Information Modeling (BIM) STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE OVERVIEW

BIM Project Execution Planning Overview The Building Information Modeling (BIM) Project Execution Planning Procedure is a structured method consisting of four (4) steps to create a strategy for BIM implementation throughout a building’s lifecycle.

BIM Project Execution Planning Procedure Identify BIM Goals and Uses Use project and team characteristics to determine BIM Goals and Uses for the Project Design BIM Project Execution Process Develop a process specifically tailored to the project which includes tasks supported by BIM showing the information exchanges between processes Define Information Exchange Requirements Define the parties responsible, grouping requirements, and timeframe for each information exchange Develop BIM Project Execution Plan Develop a detailed plan and procedure for each use and the information flow between parties

Step 1: Identify BIM Goals and Uses Goal: Identify the appropriate BIM goals and Uses based on value added objectives (Lean Principles) When: 1st BIM Planning Meeting Responsible Parties: BIM Project Team (Owner, Architect, Engineers, Contractor(s), Facility Manager) Resources: BIM Goal and Use Selection Worksheet helps identify project BIM goals for each project phase BIM Ex Wiki provides information on each BIM Use helpful for the selection process

BIM Goal and Use Selection Template BIM Goals Worksheet Priority (1-5) Goal Description Potential BIM Uses 1 - Very Important Value added objectives   2 Increase Field Productivity Design Reviews, 3D /MEP Coordination 1 Increase effectiveness of Design Design Authoring, Design Reviews 3 Accurate 3D Record Model for FM Team Record Model, 3D Design/MEP Coordination Increase effectiveness of Sustainable Goals Engineering Analysis, LEED Evaluation BIM USE Selection Worksheet   Responsible Parties BIM Uses per Phase Desire to Implement (Y/N/Maybe) Lead Team Member Addt'l Team Members Experience Level (1-5) 5=High Process Map Available?

Step 2: Design BIM Project Execution Process Goals: Create an overview map of the BIM Project Execution Procedure Create Project Process Maps for each BIM Use identified in Step 1 When: 2nd Initial BIM Planning Meeting Responsible Parties: Lead Team Members responsible for creating each Project Process Maps Resources: Template Process Maps of each BIM Use are available for a starting point for team members

Two Levels of Process Maps Required A high level process map that outlines the various BIM uses in the different phases and information exchange that bind them. Level 2 The template process maps created can then be taken to develop project specific process map, tailored to the process at hand. Please click here for an example of each Map

Step 3: Define Information Exchange Requirements Goal: Define the information exchange requirements identified in Step 2: Define the information exchange Identify the responsible parties Define the grouping requirements Identify the timeframe for each exchange When: 2nd BIM Planning Meeting Resources: Information Exchange Requirements Worksheet identifies the vital information required to implement each BIM Use as described above

Step 4: BIM Execution Plan Development Goal: Develop a project specific BIM Execution Planning Document. When: Upon completion of 3rd BIM Planning Meeting Responsible Party: BIM Project Team Resources: BIM Project Execution Plan Document Template

BIM Project Execution Plan Categories Identify BIM Goals and Uses Design the BIM Project Execution Process Define Information Exchange Requirements Develop BIM Project Execution Plan Project Goals / BIM Objectives BIM Process Design BIM Scope Definitions Delivery Strategy / Contract Organizational Roles and Responsibilities Communication Procedures Technology Infrastructure Needs Model Quality Control Procedures Project Reference Information Project X BIM Execution Plan
