Briefing for design and construction. Code of practice for asset management (Linear and geographical infrastructure).

BS 8541-1:2012

Library objects for architecture, engineering and construction. Identification and classification. Code of practice

BIM Protocol

It’s a standardized supplementary legal agreement that can be incorporated into professional service appointments and construction contracts by a simple amendment.

Information Management according to BS EN ISO 19650

Part 1- Concepts

Part 2- Process for Project Delivery

Information Protocol to support BS EN ISO 19650-2 the deliver phase of assets

RIBA

RIBA Plan of Work

The RIBA Plan of Work organises the process of briefing, designing, constructing and operating building projects into eight stages and explains the stage outcomes, core tasks and information exchanges required at each stage.

RIBA Sustainable Outcome Guide

The Sustainable Outcomes Guide aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and outlines eight clear, measurable goals that practices can aim for on projects of all scales, underpinned by specific design principles to achieve them.

Planning Guides for BIM Implementation

BIM Execution Planning Guide

This Guide provides a structured procedure for creating and implementing a BIM Project Execution Plan. There are template links of BIM Project Execution Plan, Goal & Use Worksheet, Process Maps & Information Exchange templates in Appendix J.

Uses of BIM

BIM Building Execution Plan (BEP) Template

Pre-Contract Stage:

Pre-Contract BIM Execution plan should include:

  • A project implementation plan (PIP) setting out the capability, competence and experience of potential suppliers bidding for a project, along with quality documentation.
  • Goals for collaboration and information modelling.
  • Project milestones in line with the project programme.
  • Deliverable strategy.

Post-Contract Stage

Post-Contract BIM Execution Plan should include:

  • Management
  • Planning & documentation
  • Standard method & procedure
  • IT Solutions

Assessment Templates

BIM Uniclass 2015

  • Uniclass is a consistent classification structure for all disciplines in the construction industry, an essential way of identifying and managing the vast amount of information that’s involved in a project.
  • It’s a requirement for BIM projects, as set by the BS EN ISO 19650 series of standards.
  • It is divided into a set of tables which can be used to categorize information for costing, briefing, CAD layering, annotations, etc. as well as when preparing specifications or other production documents under one unified scheme.
  • Divided into 12 suits as follows:
  1. Ac- Activities
  2. Co- Complexes
  3. EF- Elements/Functions
  4. En- Entities
  5. FI- Form of Information
  6. PM- Project Management
  7. Pr- Products
  8. Ro- Roles
  9. SL- Spaces/ Location
  10. Ss- System
  11. TE- Tools & Equipment
  12. Zz- CAD
