2. WHAT?
BIM Level 2 involves developing building information in a collaborative
3D environment with data attached, but created in separate discipline
models
Projects that incorporate Level 2 BIM identify the decisions that will
need to be made throughout the life of a built asset and the information
deliverables required at each stage of the project to support those
decisions. This ensures that appropriate information is created and
shared in a suitable format at the right time so that better decisions can
be made throughout the delivery and operation of built assets.

3. STAGE0:STRATEGICDEFINITION
i. Business justification' is the first part of the
'Strategic definition' stage (or 'Strategy' in PAS 1192:2
(now replaced by BS EN ISO 19650)). It involves
making crucial decisions about whether and how to
proceed with the proposed project.
This stage involves creating an internal team to assess
whether there is justification for the project at all. In the
first instance, a statement of need is prepared, which is
an initial attempt to describe the possible requirements
of the project. It should be stressed that this may or
may not result in an actual project, and even if
a project is necessary, it may not require a
new building.

4. STAGE0:STRATEGICDEFINITION
ii. Strategic brief' is the first part of the 'Strategic
definition' stage (or 'Strategy' in PAS 1192:2 (now
replaced by BS EN ISO 19650)). It involves making
crucial decisions about whether and how to proceed
with the proposed project.
During the strategic definition stage,
the client’s business case and strategic brief are
assessed to ensure they ‘…have been properly
considered’ and the scope of the project is defined.

5. STAGE1:PREPARATIONANDBRIEF
i. Appraisals is the first part of the 'preparation and
brief' stage (or 'brief' in PAS 1192:2). It involves
assessing whether the project is feasible, and whether
there is a preferred option that should be developed.
ii. Preparation and brief' stage (or 'Brief' in PAS
1192:2). It involves preparing documentation for
the appointment of 'suppliers'.
iii. 'suppliers', and it may be repeated a number of
times throughout the project.

6. STAGE2:CONCEPTDESIGN
The supplier develops a concept design which should
demonstrate early co-ordination of:
Aesthetic intent
Form and spatial arrangements.
Outline structural and services designs.
High-level simulation results to determine whether
the design is likely to comply with requirements.
Outline site and landscape design.
Outline specifications.
Schedules and reports demonstrating compliance with
the project brief.
Preliminary construction and phasing sequencing
studies and general project programmeinformation.

7. STAGE3:DEVELOPEDDESIGN
Developed design (sometimes referred to as
'detailed design' or ‘definition’) develops the concept
design into a dimensionally correct and co-
ordinated design, describing all of the
main components of the building and how they fit
together. It should provide sufficient information for
applications for statutory approvals to begin.

8. STAGE4:TECHNICALDESIGN
The technical design stage (sometimes referred to as
‘design’) develops the design in sufficient detail for
co-ordination to be completed and enables
packaged, production information to be prepared
which can be passed to the contractor and
their supply chain to construct the development. It
should also allow applications for statutory
approvals to be completed. Increasingly, technical
design involves design undertaken by specialist
subcontractors.

9. STAGE5:CONSTRUCTION
The construction stage (sometimes referred to as
'build and commission') may include both on-
site construction and off-site manufacturing, along
with activities necessary to prepare for occupation.

10. STAGE6:HANDOVERANDCLOSEOUT
Handover and close out takes place after
the construction has ended. The employer is able to
occupy the development but the contractor remains
responsible for rectifying defects during a period
known as the 'defects liability period' (or
'rectification period') which typically lasts six to
twelve months.

11. STAGE7:INUSE
In use', sometimes referred to as 'operation',
describes the period after any defects have been
rectified and fine tuning carried out when
the development is in 'normal' operation. The need
to initiate new projects might be identified during
this stage.
