BIM Management
Make BIM work for everyone
Clear guidelines, structured process, real results
Effective BIM Implementation and Oversight driving efficiency and maximizing the return on investment in Building Information Modeling (BIM) across the project lifecycle.
Are Projects Struggling to Realize the Full Potential of BIM?
Common problems met
- Inconsistent model quality and unreliable data leading to rework.
- Lack of clear BIM guidelines resulting in coordination clashes and delays.
- Inefficient collaboration between disciplines due to fragmented processes.
- Difficulty leveraging the model data for downstream applications like facility management.
A dedicated BIM manager can organize and ensure a smooth BIM collaboration for your project
BIM Something approach
A structured framework for BIM execution ensures smooth project delivery and optimal data utilization.
- Establishment of a single, authoritative set of BIM guidelines tailored to project goals and needs.
- Proactive model auditing and clash detection process to identify issues before they reach the construction site.
- Implementation of comprehensive data management strategies to ensure information accuracy and accessibility.
- Provision of expert guidance and support to project teams, fostering a collaborative and knowledgeable environment.
The BIM Management Workflow
A systematic process ensures the effective integration of BIM across all project phases.
- BIM Project Initiation: Define the project's BIM goals, scope, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Protocol Development: Creation and dissemination of the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and project-specific standards.
- Models Oversight and Coordination: Continuous monitoring of models health and overview of coordination process.
- Information Handover: Validation and preparation of the final models and associated data for asset management and facility operations.
Expected Deliverables for the Client
Tangible and actionable documents and processes provide the foundation for successful BIM projects.
- Project-Specific BIM Execution Plan (BEP): A detailed document outlining roles, responsibilities, standards, and delivery protocols.
- Federated and Coordinated Models: Integrated project models with resolved clashes and validated data accuracy.
- BIM Progress and Audit Reports: Regular documentation tracking model health, team compliance, and coordination status.
- Information Requirements Documentation: Clear documentation defining the level of information needed for various project stages and handover.
The Value Offered
A focus on quality, efficiency, and expert guidance delivers measurable benefits to project outcomes.
- Risk Mitigation: Minimized construction-phase risks through early and thorough digital coordination.
- Cost and Time Certainty: Improved project predictability by standardizing workflows and reducing rework.
- Enhanced Team Collaboration: A centralized management approach that aligns all disciplines under one cohesive strategy.
- Future-Proofed Asset Data: Delivery of high-quality, reliable model information for long-term operational use.
Frequently asked questions
What is a BIM Execution Plan (BEP)?
The BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is the document that describes how BIM will actually be implemented on a project: objectives, roles and responsibilities, collaboration processes, exchange formats, CDE structure and the schedule of information deliveries. Under ISO 19650, it is produced by the appointed parties in response to the client's information requirements (EIR), first at tender stage and then in detail after award. It is the reference document that aligns all teams on a single way of working.
What is the role of the BIM Manager on a project?
The BIM manager steers the implementation of BIM over the whole duration of the project. Concretely, they write and update the BEP, structure the collaboration processes, set up and administer the CDE, define the information delivery deadlines and monitor model quality at each milestone. They form the link between the client's requirements and the work of the design teams. The role is organizational and methodological: the BIM manager does not model in place of the disciplines. They ensure that the information produced is consistent, complete and usable.
What is a Common Data Environment (CDE)?
The Common Data Environment (CDE) is the shared data environment where all of a project's information deliverables are centralized, shared and managed. Under ISO 19650, it relies on a structured process: each piece of information passes through successive states (work in progress, shared, published, archived), with clear version and access management. The CDE is not just a storage platform. It is an information governance process that ensures everyone works on the right version at the right time.
