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

Execution Planning Process

BIM Use Identificati

on

•Manual review of BIM uses•Decision Support System to proceed from project characteristic to recommended BIM uses

BIM Use Definition

•Documentation of BIM Uses to be performed along with the underlying goal for pursuing each defined use.

BIM Execution Plan

Development

•Development of a detailed plan an procedure for each use and the information flow from between uses•Performed through ‘

Project X

BIM Execution

Plan

Execution Planning Categories

•Critical project overview information, contractual requirements related to BIM, and key project contacts

Project Reference Information

•Include model elements by discipline, level of detail, and specific attributesBIM Scope Definitions

•Identification of the process for creating, reviewing and modifying the model. Include information exchange requirements.

Model Development Process

•Define the roles of each organization along with responsibilities•Define contracting strategies for organizations

Organizational Roles and Responsibilities

•Electronic communication procedures•Meeting communication procedures

Communication Procedures

•Identify the methods to ensure model accuracy and comprehensiveness

Model Quality Control Procedures

Next Tasks

• Develop detailed execution planning process model• Complete the content analysis of interviews for each

phase and for BIM uses• Perform Case Studies• Develop detailed list of content for BIM Execution Plan• Identify next focus group locations

• buildingSMART Alliance Conf (?)• PACE Seminar in Spring 09

Example: Interview Content Analysis

Additional Resources

• Autodesk Communication Specifications• AIA BIM Exhibit• AGC Guide to BIM• Australian BIM National Guidelines• Key success factors for adopting BIM (Gang Lee)

• Board Members:Feel free to add more if they come to mind.

Discussion

Ways that you can help us:• Feedback:

• BIM Uses (posted at bimex.wikispace.com)• Process overview / format

• Identify potential case study projects for BIM Execution Planning course

• Projects to test drive BIM Execution Plan Process• Share BIM Execution Plans if you have them and can

share them

Thank You
