BIM Project Execution Planning

Description

Developing a BIM Project Execution Plan ensures all parties are clearly aware of opportunities and responsibilities associated with the incorporation of BIM into a project workflow. This Guide provides a structured procedure for creating and implementing a BIM Project Execution Plan. The goal for developing this structured procedure is to enable effective planning and enhance communication among the project participants during the early phases of a project. The Guide and templates are included in the National BIM Standard – US (Version 3).
