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

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.

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

Execution Planning Process Concept: “Begin with the End in Mind”

Defining Supporting Infrastructure for BIM Implementation Project Goals / BIM Objectives (Step 1) BIM Process Design (Step 2) BIM Information Exchange Requirements (Step 3) Delivery Strategy / Contract Organizational Roles and Responsibilities Communication Procedures Technology Infrastructure Needs Model Quality Control Procedures Project X BIM Execution Plan

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
