BEP Overview
BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a guideline document which
forms the basis for BIM collaboration
BEP is:
•A definition of organisational structures and
responsibilities
•The framework for BIM performance
•A definition of processes and requirements for
collaboration
•A description of unified approach for structures
and elements

Define project information
- Basic design information
- Main team members and
BIM managers
- Project milestones
Set project BIM goals
- Increase of competence
of project team
- Increase project
performance and security
- Increase quality of the
project
Choose BIM uses (examples)
- Planning phase (situation
modelling and analysis)
- Design phase (3D
coordination)
- Construction phase
(fabrication)
- Operational phase
(monitor maintenance)

Requirement
It is just part of a suite of standards, protocols and
tools that underpin delivery to BIM Level 2 and is
designed to be easy to apply. It may take the form
of a supplementary legal agreement
BIM Protocol identifies building information
models that are required to be produced by the
project team and puts in place specific obligations,
liabilities and associated limitations on the use of
those models.

Pre-Contract BEP
It may include:
A response to requirements of the EIR
A Project Implementation Plan (PIP) setting out competence,
capability and experience of potential suppliers to bidding for the
project.
Targets/ Goals for collaboration and information modelling
Project milestones
Project Implementation Plan (PIM) Strategy
The Pre-contract BEP demonstrates the supplier’s proposed
approach, capability and capacity to meet the EIRs.

Project Implementation Plan
A project implementation plan (PIP) is part of the tendering
documentation, it sets out:
The capability, competence and experience of potential
suppliers bidding for a project,
Quality documentation.
Goals for collaboration and information modelling.
Project milestones in line with the project programme.

Post-Contract BEP
The post-contract BEP will develop in detail over time as more members
of the supply chain are appointed. It should include:
A response to requirements of the EIR
Revised PIP
Responsibility Matrix
Details of: Management Planning and documentation
Methods and procedures
A Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP)
A Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP)
Adherence to the BEP should be monitored throughout the duration of
the contract to ensure that the PIM is being developed in accordance
with the MIDP and all relevant standards.

WHAT
The master information delivery plan is the primary plan for the
preparation of the project information (from the supplier's
perspective) required by the employer's information requirements. It
lists information deliverables, and sets out when project information
is to be prepared, by whom, and using what protocols and
procedures for each stage of the project.
WHO
Developed by the project delivery manager, working collaboratively
with the task team managers. It is then used by the project delivery
manager to manage the delivery of information during the project.

Key areas for Soft landings:
• Roles and Responsibilities
• Focus on outcomes
• Aftercare and Post Occupancy Evaluation
• Performance Management
• Contracts and Procurement
Soft Landings refers to a strategy adopted to
ensure the transition from construction to
occupation is 'bump-free' and that operational
performance is optimised.

Procurement in BIM
For Clients
Clients should use a structured procurement process to communicate their BIM
requirements and to assess the quality of their contractor’s proposals.
Outline BEP
• provided as part of a tender submission
• describe how a project team will deliver the required BIM uses
• the processes that will be used to deliver the project
• include a proposed schedule of models that should be used to populate the BIM
Protocol

Procurement in BIM
For contractors
• Better understanding – contractors can get the project proposal underway
much quicker under tight timescales and competitive tendering processes.
• Greater scope capture – increased visibility to the project scope reduces the
risk of missing elements, decreasing the likelihood of problems surfacing as
construction gets underway.
• Proposal communication – Contractors can effectively demonstrate their
proposals to the various project members and to the client.
• Improved planning – the opportunity to plan the project within a 3D model
helps contractors to implement plans in a manner in which risks are minimised.
