Elaboration on the BIM BOK
Classification/Categorization
• Levels of Implementation (LOI): LOI address the business decision-making
hierarchy on BIM uptake and utilization, descending from Plan It and Coordinate It
(macro level, inter- and intra-organizational level) to Manage It and Do It (micro level,
project and task level).
• Roles of Users (ROU): ROU acknowledge the commonality and disparity of BIM
uses across the AECOO industry sectors in reference to the OmniClass Table 33 –
Disciplines (OmniClass 2006), and regroup BIM users into four representative
categories including Designers (architecture and engineering), Contractors (general and
specialty), Facility Managers/Operators, as well as Consultant/Generalist.
• Levels of Performance (LOP): LOP indicates the stratification of performance
depending on educational background and professional experience, and suggest the
progression of performance from Entry, Middle to Full via college education and
professional training. To facilitate the development of BIM curriculum, LOP also aligns
BIM learning/training outcomes with Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning (Krathwohl 2002)
(see Table 1).
• Types of Knowledge (TOK): TOK inherits the concepts of Knowledge
Management (KM) in the AECOO industry, and highlight its project-based nature.
As a matter of fact, projects are also identified as temporary organizations (Howard
1991; Turner and Müller 2003). Therefore, organizational general knowledge and
project specific knowledge are both critical constituents of the BIM BOK.

26.
Use Case for Talent Acquisition &
Recruiting
An Example of Benchmarking BIM Job Position Qualification Using the
AiC BIM BOK
11th BIM Academic Symposium & Job Task Analysis Review, Apr. 3-4, 2017, Boston, MA

27.
Use Case for Professional Certification &
Credentialing
• BOK captures and structurally represents the broad spectrum of
concepts, nomenclatures as well as best practices commonly
acknowledged by practitioners in the field.
• BOK is often referenced as the standard and benchmark for
competency evaluation and typically forms the premises and
foundation of professional certification and credentialing.
• Similar successful programs of Better Buildings Workforce
Guidelines (BBWG) directed by NIBS and DOE via Commercial
Workforce Credentialing Council (CWCC):
• Building Energy Auditor
• Building Commissioning Professional
• Energy Manager
• Building Operations Professionals
