5 1.5.5.4 File Naming Convention The models, component libraries, elements and drawing file names should follow a consistent file naming convention. The client may specify a file naming convention or the lead consultant shall recommend a suitable naming convention for the project.
BIM PXP Contents
A file naming convention similar to the existing Works Departments CAD standard convention may be adopted. The file names may be of the form “AGENT-PROJECT- ZONE-ID-STATUS”. Definition Code Format Details AGENT 3 alphanumeric the list of agent responsible codes can be downloaded from the Development Bureau web site at www.devb-wb.gov.hk/cswp
PROJECT 1 to 8 alphanumeric User definable project reference coding.
ZONE 3 alphanumeric Required if project is subdivided by zones or
levels ID 2 alphabetic Indicates the discipline. For list of ID’s refer to table below.
STATUS 1 alphabetic A = as-built
E = existing, to remain M = maintenance or record N = New work R = Remove T = Temporary Work W = All Work
Example = CIC-BIMS2014-POD-AR-W
31 1.5 As an alternative, the naming of model files may be based on BS1192:2007. The file names may be of the form and any of the fields may be omitted.
PROJECT-AUTHOR-ZONE-LEVEL-TYPE-ROLE-DESCRIPTION Definition Code Format Details
BIM PXP Contents
PROJECT 1 to 8 alphanumeric User definable project reference coding. AUTHOR 3 alphanumeric Can use the list of agent responsible codes which can be downloaded from the Development Bureau web site ZONE 2 alphanumeric Identifier of which building, area, phase or zone of the project the file relates to if the project is sub-divided by zones. For infrastructure (linear) the zone may be replaced by a location defined as a chainage and offset. LEVEL 2 alphanumeric Identifier of which level, or group of levels, the model file relates to if the project is sub-divided by levels. TYPE 2 alphanumeric Document type, which will be M3 for 3D model files or QT for quantity take off. ROLE 2 alphabetic Indicates the discipline. For list of ID’s refer to table below. DESCRIPTION 1 to 8 alphanumeric Descriptive field to define the type of data portrayed in the file. Avoid repeating information codified in other fields. Can be used to describe any part of the previous fields, or to further clarify any other aspect of the contained data.
Example = BIMS2014-CIC-ZN-L3-M3-AR-FILENAME The file naming shall not include a revision status. Revisions shall be tracked using data added to the models or by the BIM Coordinator in a change management register.
32 1.5 The ID or ROLE field in the above naming conventions shall be taken from the table below:- ID Discipline AR Architect BS Building Surveyor

1.5.5.5 Layer Naming Convention
Each discipline should provide the Lead consultants CAD manager with a full list of all layer names to be used on the project. This list should be published to all members of the project team for information.
