1 – Project Vision
[One sentence goal for using BIM and technology on this project]
Project Overview
[Project BIM and technology vision narrative (paragraph, 3-5 sentences)]
BIM Execution Plan Goal

The intent of this BIM Execution Plan is to provide a framework that will let the owner, Technology
Integrator (TI) and architect/engineer (AE) deploy Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology and
best practices on this project faster and more cost-effectively. This plan delineates roles and
responsibilities of each party, the detail and scope of information to be shared, relevant business
processes, and supporting software. This document represents the best practices known to the team at
the time of its preparation. Proposed revisions will be reviewed among the team and adopted as
appropriate during the course of the project delivery.
Desired Outcomes
• The BIMxP process enables streamlined communication between owner, architect/engineer,
and contractor regarding digital BIM assets and data.
• The BIMxP process creates accountability for BIM assets among all project participants and
establishes defined roles expected to be present among project participants.
• The BIMxP document provides useful information that can support model authoring and
coordination requirements and protocols.
• The BIMxP equips the team with processes and protocols to support the implementation of BIM
standards for more reliable and consistent models.
Contract Alignment
The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is specified as a project requirement project within the
project contract. This BIM Execution Plan (BEP, BxP, or BIMxP) is a tool for supporting specific BIM-
related project requirements, responsibilities, protocols, and deliverables. The following contractual
documents and sections are used to specify BIM-related delivery requirements, exhibits, and references.

Level of Development Definitions

Level 100
General locations, tags, symbols, and 2D objects
A model element or object may be graphically represented with symbols or other representation. The
model element does not possess accurate geometric information, dimensions, object data, or precise
locations in the model.
• Example 1: A 2D drafted space outline (CAD or room separators) designating a general area.
• Example 2: A general symbol indicated the rough location and layout of an equipment or fixture.
Level 200
‘Conceptual’ or ‘generic’ 3D geometry and data with overall dimensions
A model element or object is graphically and generically represented in the model with approximations for
size, shape, location, and orientation. Object data may be attached to the object to provide general
context for what the object is.
• Example 1: A placed room object enclosed by generic room bounding objects with area
reporting.
• Example 2: A generic 3D object with overall dimensions and placement location.
Level 300
3D geometry and data used for reliable overall dimensions, schedules, and quantities
A model element or object is graphically represented in the model with specific system and assembly
information with respect to quantity, shape, size, location, and orientation. Additional object data may be
attached to the object used for callouts, scheduling, and notes. When provided in CA phase, the
placement location and data represent as-construction conditions.
• Example 1: A placed room object enclosed by specific room bounding objects (wall types, doors)
with area reporting and standard room data integration.
• Example 2: A categorized 3D object with specific types, dimensions, clearances, and placement
location. The object would include relevant meta-data pertaining to its identity for scheduling and
reporting.

Model Authoring refers to the tools used to create and edit BIM elements, geometry, and data. The
following tools and versions shall be used by the team to author BIM objects
• Software: Revit
• Version: 2020
Coordination Tools
Coordination refers to the tools used to perform checks on a model and between models. Coordination
tools support activities such as clash detection.
• Software: Navisworks
• Version: 2020
Collaboration Tools
Collaboration refers to tools used for continuous coordination and co-authoring of models. The project
design and construction team shall employ collaboration tools for document sharing and federated

Project origin points establish common location information for model object geometry and are used to
support coordination activities such as clash detection. A project may use 1 or several project origin point
systems to location their project. This project’s location data is as follows:
North Rotation
Origin Type X (latitude) Y (longitude) Z (elevation)
(degrees)
Real-World Location
