PRE AND POST CONTRACT BIM EXECUTION PLANS NEIL MARSHALL @ NEIL_MCIAT
This workshop will look at Pre and Post Contract BIM Execution Plans (BEP) with
a view to explaining what they should contain. Delegates will leave with a better
understanding of how to structure a BEP and what it should include.
Additionally, it will include real life examples of poor clauses within BIM
execution plans, and how to spot and deal with the scope gaps.

carried out
DEFINITION
3.6 building information modelling execution plan (BEP)
http://bim-level2.org/en/standards/

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
The BIM Execution Plan (BEP or BIMxP) is developed by suppliers - typically pre-contract to
address the Employer's Information Requirements (EIR) - and defines how the information
modelling aspects of a project will be carried out. A BIM Execution Plan clarifies roles and
their responsibilities, standards to be applied and procedures to be followed. A BEP
collates/references a number of other documents
including the Master Information Delivery Plan
(MIDP) and the Project Implementation Plan (PIP).
The BEP may be updated after the contract has been
awarded

PRE-CONTRACT / POST-CONTRACT
the BIM Execution Plan
(BEP) which is submitted
firstly pre-contract to
address the issues raised in
the EIR and then with more
detail post-contract award
to explain the supplier’s
methodology for delivering
the project using BIM.

PAS1192 Page 8
6.1.1 As part of the main contract
selection process, the employer
shall request in the EIRs that
bidders shall submit details of
their approach to project
information management,
sufficient to demonstrate the
supplier’s proposed approach,
capability, capacity and
competence to meet the EIR.
PAS 1192 Page 12
Note 1 The purpose of the
pre-contract BEP is to
demonstrate the supplier’s
proposed approach,
capability, capacity and
competence to meet the EIR
– see 6.2.1.

PRE-CONTRACT / POST-CONTRACT
6.1.3 Post contract award, the BEP
shall be re-submitted by the
supplier to the employer confirming
the supply chain’s capabilities and
the master information delivery
plan (MIDP) – see 6.2.2 and Figure 7
(6.1.5) – and that all relevant
parties have agreed and committed
to the BEP.
PAS1192 Page 12
6.1.4 This BEP shall be submitted by the supplier to the
employer on behalf of the whole supply chain and shall
include a summary of their capabilities and
responsibilities.
6.1.5 Suppliers shall be responsible for the cascade of
information through their supply chain.

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
PRE-CONTRACT
6.2 Production of the pre-contract BIM
execution plan (BEP)
The contents of the pre-contract BEP shall consist of
everything requested in the EIR plus the following information:
a) the project implementation plan (PIP) – see 6.3;
b) project goals for collaboration and information
modelling;
c) major project milestones consistent with the
project programme; and
d) project information model (PIM) deliverable
strategy (for example the CIC Schedule). PAS 1192 Page 14

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
POST-CONTRACT7.2 Production of the post contract award
BIM execution plan (BEP)
7.2.1 The contents of the post contract-award BEP shall
consist of everything requested in the EIR plus the
following information:
a) management:
1) roles, responsibilities and authorities;
2) major project milestones consistent with the project programme;
3) project information model deliverable strategy
(for example the CIC Schedules);
4) survey strategy including the use of point
clouds, light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) or
global navigation satellite systems (GNSS);
5) existing legacy data use;
6) approval of information; and
7) PIM authorization process;
b) planning and documentation:
1) revised PIP confirming the capability of the
supply chain;
2) agreed project processes for collaboration and
information modelling;
3) agreed matrix of responsibilities across the
supply chain;
4) TIDP; and
5) MIDP;
c) the standard method and procedure:
1) the volume strategy;
2) PIM origin and orientation (which may also be
geo-references to the earth’s surface using a
specified projection);
3) file naming convention;
4) layer naming convention, where used;
5) agreed construction tolerances for
all disciplines;
6) drawing sheet templates;
7) annotation, dimensions,
abbreviations and
symbols; and
8) attribute data;
d) the IT solutions:
1) software versions;
2) exchange formats; and
3) process and data management
systems.

WHATS IMPORTANT
A COLLABORATIVE PLAN TO DEFINE HOW
THE INFORMATION MODELLING ASPECTS
OF A PROJECT WILL BE CARRIED OUT
BIM CONFERENCE 2017
DEFINE | DOCUMENT | DELIVER

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
DEFINE
“ENGAGE WITH THE EMPLOYER TO
ASSESS THEIR REQUIREMENTS, ENSURE
YOU HAVE CASCADED THESE TO THE
DELIVERY TEAM” (PROPERLY)

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
DOCUMENT
“FULLY DOCUMENT EVERYTHING
YOU AGREE TO DELIVER AND HOW
YOU INTEND TO DELIVER”
(BE PEDANTIC, DIFFICULT AND A PAIN IN
THE ASS)

BIM CONFERENCE 2017

“UNDER PROMISE AND OVER DELIVER”

REVIEW

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
LOOK OUT FOR
• Onerous Information Exchange Requirements
• Lack of Clarity on
Assets
Performance Attributes
• Lack of Clarity on ‘Deliverables’
• Missing Appendices
• People need the BEP for different things, make
sure your requirements are included and self
serving.

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
EXAMPLES FROM REAL BEP’S
“It is expected the EIR will develop post contract
award”
‘COBie requirements to be agreed with the
Employer’s Asset Management team post-contract
award’
‘Contractor to advise’
“COBie deliverable - Contractor to
advise based on <Client> EIR. These
are to be agreed with the
employer”
“Object property
sets are to be
further defined by
clients project
manger and
incorporated into
the AIM”
‘Cost
interrogation
and earned value
analysis (5D)’
“Phase planning
and programme
management (4D)”
‘It’s a handover
deliverable not a
project
deliverable’

BIM CONFERENCE 2017
-Document everything
-It’s a live document
-It will require update
-Responsibility falls
through the gap.
-Audit
-Personalities change
