A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is one of the most important documents for successfully implementing Building Information Modeling on an architecture, engineering, construction or infrastructure project. It defines how BIM will be used, who is responsible for each activity, what information must be produced, how models will be exchanged, which standards will be followed, and how quality will be controlled.
A well-prepared BIM Execution Plan helps architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, project managers and owners work from a common BIM strategy.
If you are wondering how to create a BIM Execution Plan, this guide explains the process step by step, including BIM objectives, project roles, LOD/LOIN, CDE, software, modeling standards, coordination, QA/QC, information exchange and final deliverables.
The approach also aligns with the principles of ISO 19650 information management. Under ISO 19650, a pre-appointment BEP can demonstrate the prospective delivery team's capability to meet the information requirements, while the appointed team's BEP becomes a practical delivery tool for managing information throughout the appointment.
