The BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is the plan prepared by suppliers to explain how the Information modelling aspects of a project will be carried out. It should detail the project deliverables stipulated by the contract and the information exchange requirement as detailed in the BIM protocol.
In this episode, Ian will cover differences between pre and post-contract execution plans, the benefits of having a BEP and the seven elements of a strong execution plan.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Through clear roles, responsibilities and real-time communication, the BEP keeps all in sync while ensuring construction stays on track.
- A pre-contract BEP should demonstrate the proposed capability, capacity and competence to meet the PID in general terms. Post-contract BEP is to confirm the supply chain’s capabilities.
- A strong BEP will include clearly defined roles and responsibilities, strategic planning, BIM scope definition, defined key deliverables, project goals and BIM objectives , quality control procedures, reference project information including key project contacts and working procedures.
BEST MOMENTS
‘A BEP is a comprehensive document that helps project participants move forward with clear roles and expectations. It is an essential element to create before beginning any construction project, especially for those that are large or complex projects with many collaborators.’
‘I’m talking about a BIM specialist in their own right. You may need to get the BIM specialist on board before you get the design team employed.’
‘It might take time to put the plan together, but once it is up and running it will set out the key deliverables, procedures and other information that will streamline the BIM process and keep everybody moving forward.’
