Presented by Russell and Dawson 9

10. BIM EXECUTION PLAN
What is a BIM execution plan (BEP)?
 From the first lines of our original document:
“This document is the project team’s BIM Execution Plan (v 3.5) for use during the design phases of the BCJC Midrise Renovation project. This
document summarizes the standards and procedures necessary for a coordinated BIM effort among multiple firms within the design team”
 This project format was a first for the County and is meant to set the standard for future projects
 The BIM Manager typically updates this document throughout the project duration
Presented by Russell and Dawson 10

11. BIM EXECUTION PLAN
Updating the BEP
 BCJC midrise BEP went through 7 revisions at each phase from Programming till Construction. The document was originally written
06/12/2013 & was finalized as Version 3.5 dated 03/07/2016
 It was found that as the project developed, so did the BEP. The new phases added need for additional clarification on roles and
responsibilities, until it was finalized at the permitting & construction phase
 We had multiple BIM managers review and edit the document throughout the project
 When the project was turned over to the construction team, they developed a similar document specific to their own tasks and
responsibilities during construction which mirrored the BEP during design.

24. QUALITY CONTROL & CLASH DETECTION
Presented by Russell and Dawson 24

25. QUALITY CONTROL & CLASH DETECTION
Quality Control
 Visual Check
• Ensure that design intent has been followed properly and there are no unintended model components
 Interference Check
• Detect problems in the model where two model components are clashing
 The entire design team is responsible for quality control.
Presented by Russell and Dawson 25

26. QUALITY CONTROL & CLASH DETECTION
 Why use Clash Detection?
 To verify all items fit within the confines of the structure
 Provides list of items which intersect with fire rated assemblies in order to provide appropriate fire rating
 RFIs based on MEP coordination are mostly eliminated and reduces delays to construction due to waiting for answers
 Provides a more accurate & cleaner Revit file to turn over to ownership for their future use.

28. QUALITY CONTROL & CLASH DETECTION
Clash Report Meetings
 Typically, meetings would be internal coordination sessions between the A/E design & project team
 Construction team’s (GC) attendance, up to permitting phase, is welcome but not mandatory
 If the owner’s involvement is needed to resolve any issues, a notification would be provided to the owner for follow up meetings or input
 Each discipline must submit a clean *.RVT file minimum 3 days before the meeting
 Prior to the meeting, architects would run the clash model and generate a clash report for the meeting
 During the clash detection meeting, the group would review the main clashes and discuss the strategy to resolve the conflicts
 Within a week after the meeting, the Project team would revise model to address clashes found.
Presented by Russell and Dawson 28

29. QUALITY CONTROL & CLASH DETECTION
NAVISWORKS File Setup
 Verify all work sets are correct, run ‘purge’ of excess families
 Duplicate all RVT files and clean up files to minimize size.
• Create new 3D view for clash detection, eliminate all other views(to reduce file size and help speed up clash detection).
• Unload all links, remove all CAD files, turn off/ remove unwanted objects
 Convert all files to Navisworks file .NWC via Revit Navisworks add-on.
Presented by Russell and Dawson 29

30. QUALITY CONTROL & CLASH DETECTION
Navisworks Clash Setup
 Import files into Navisworks
 Select worksets/ families to be tested
 Verify the dimensional tolerance for clashes in order to reduce unnecessary clashes
 Review clashes, approve non-clashes, adjust 3d views provided as required to clarify the clashes on the report
 Export clash report format and send it to your team.

33. LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT
Presented by Russell and Dawson 33

34. LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT
Setting a Target For the Level of
Development (LOD) will Depend on the
Future Use of the Project
•BCJC Midrise Renovation was intended to be used heavily by the Facility
Management for the maintenance of the building. Construction Operations
Building Information Exchange Formatting (COBie) was requested as the
primary format for specific systems within the building.
• COBie is a data format for BIM which focuses on asset information on
objects within the project.
Presented by Russell and Dawson 34

35. LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT
COBie Development Stages:
1. LOD 100 – Schematic Design
2. LOD 200 – Design Development
3. LOD 300 – Construction Docs.
4. LOD 350-400 – Construction Input
5. LOD 500 – Facility Management
Presented by Russell and Dawson 35

36. LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT
Architectural & MEP-FP Teams:
 LOD 100 - Overall building massing indicative area, height, volume, location, and orientation may be modeled in three dimensions or
represented by other data.
 LOD 200 - Model elements are modeled as generalized systems or assemblies with approximate quantities, size, shape, location, and
orientation.
 LOD 300 - Model Elements are modeled as specific assemblies accurate in terms of quantity, size, shape, location, and orientation. Non-
geometric information may also be attached to Model Elements and equivalent to 100% construction documents.
 Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.
Presented by Russell and Dawson 36

37. LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT
Construction Team & Facility Management:
 LOD 400 - The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of size, shape,
location, quantity, and orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information.
 LOD 500 - BIM for Facility Management Model Elements are modeled as constructed assemblies-actual and accurate in terms of size, shape,
location, quantity, and orientation. Non-geometric information may also be attached to modeled elements. Facilities Management
information made available to Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBIE) standards.
 Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.

43. BIM ROLES AND RESPONSIBLITIES DURING CONSTRUCTION
 The Architecture/Engineering (A/E) design team will develop LOD 300 BIM models during the bidding/permitting phase to incorporate County
comments, permitting comments, pre-construction RFI’s, and any coordination changes prior to construction.
 The construction team (GC) shall work with Owner and design team to develop the Virtual design & Construction (VDC) plan based on BEP
version 3.5 for implementation during construction, to include BIM uses such as: 3D Coordination (clash detection), Phase Planning (4D
Modeling), Digital Fabrication, Cost Estimation (quantity take-offs), Existing Conditions Modeling, Space Management and Tracking, and COBie
information input into Revit models.
 Latest Revit models shall be provided to the GC after permits are approved and at issuance of Notice to Proceed 1 to GC, for development of the
LOD 350/400/500 models (shop drawings) as defined by BIM forum and as required by County.
 Not all items may need to be developed to LOD 350/400. GC shall coordinate with County and develop MEP-FP, Architectural & Structural items
to LOD level required for each discipline as directed by County.
 Once construction begins, the GC shall be responsible for all LOD 350/400/500 Revit model developments and any changes to COBie data
based on field verification, constructability, final product selection & installation.
 The GC shall use BIM 360 Field for the gathering of COBie field data from Construction Manager/ Superintendent and all sub-contractors in order
to integrate all information into the BIM models throughout construction.
Presented by Russell and Dawson 43

44. BIM ROLES AND RESPONSIBLITIES DURING CONSTRUCTION
 GC shall review subcontractors BIM proficiency and qualifications.
 For instances where drawing modifications are required from A/E team to provide sketches, Supplemental Instructions, etc.
 Construction team (GC) shall be responsible to provide a location and access for the upload/ download of the latest Revit models by A/E teams /
sub-contractors to add information, answer RFI’s, etc. Construction team (GC) shall keep daily backups of all models. Should the GC give
ownership of the same model to multiple subcontractors, the GC shall be responsible for organizing and merging all new information into one
model including, but not limited to: shop drawing sheets, views, updated Revit components, COBie information, etc.
