1 INTRODUCTION
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been identified as a fundamental process for ensuring
efficiency, quality and certainty of all Public Works Authority (PWA) projects. The PWA strategic
purpose for the application of BIM on this project is contained in Chapter 3.
2 DEFINITIONS
i. Building Information Modeling (BIM): use of a shared digital representation of a built asset
to facilitate design, construction and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions.
ii. BIM Execution Plan (BEP): Plan that explains how the information management aspects of
the appointment will be carried out by the delivery team.
iii. Pre- appointment BEP: The pre-appointment BIM Execution Plan focuses on the delivery
team’s proposed approach to information management, and their capability and capacity to
manage information. It is utilised prior to the appointment of any stakeholder.
iv. Post- appointment BEP: The post-appointment BIM Execution Plan is the document defining
standard methods and procedures adopted during the contract in order to meet the objectives
and requirements set forth in the EIR. It is utilised following the appointment of project
stakeholders and in particular the main contractor.
v. Building Information Model: A BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL is a digital representation
of the project, or a portion of the project, and is referred to in this document as the “BIM Model”.
Additional information is assigned to model elements.
vi. Asset Information Model (AIM): data and information that relates to assets to a level required
to support an organization’s asset management system.
vii. BIM Environment: A BIM Environment is a context enabled by BIM platforms and tools that
facilitate 3D information model based collaboration between project teams. A subset of BIM
Environment is the Common Data Environment (CDE) which is the single source of information
used to collect, manage and disseminate documentation, the graphical model and non-
graphical data for the whole project team.
viii. Model Element: A Model Element is a part of the Model representing a component, system or
assembly within a building or building site.
ix. Authoring: The action of creating and developing specific content of a model or a model
element to the level of detail required for a particular purpose.
x. Model Element Author: The entity or individual responsible for generating a Model
Component or set of components in a Building Information Model.
xi. 4D Scheduling: The fourth modelling dimension (4D) refers to 3D + time. In this model or
workflow, time is added to model objects to allow Construction Scheduling
xii. 5D Estimation: The fifth modelling dimension (5D) refers to 4D + cost. In this model or
workflow, cost is embedded within BIM Models and Model Components. 5D is used for the
purposes of generating Cost Estimates.
xiii. Level Of Development (LOD): LOD describes the minimum dimensional, spatial, quantitative,
qualitative, and other data included in a model or model element.
a. LOD 100: The model element may be graphically represented in the model with a
symbol or other generic representation, but does not satisfy the requirements for
LOD 200.
b. LOD 200: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a
generic system, object, or assembly with approximate quantities, size, shape,
location, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model
Element.
c. LOD 300: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a
specific system, object or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, location, and
orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.
d. LOD 350: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a
specific system, object, or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, location,
orientation, and interfaces with other building systems. Non-graphic information may
also be attached to the Model Element.
e. LOD 400: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a
specific system, object or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and
orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information. Non-
graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.
f. LOD 500: The Model Element is a field verified representation in terms of size,
shape, location, quantity, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be
attached to the Model Elements.
xiv. Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP): Primary plan for when project information is to be
prepared, by whom and using what protocols and procedures, incorporating all relevant TIDPs.
xv. Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP): Federated lists of information deliverables by each
task, including format, date and responsibilities.
xvi. Common Data Environment (CDE): agreed source of information for any given project or
asset, for collecting, managing and disseminating each information container through a
managed process.
xvii. COBie: Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) is a non-proprietary
data format for the publication of a subset of Building Information Models (BIM) focused on
delivering asset data as distinct from geometric information (www.thenbs.com).
PWA adopts Building Information Modeling (BIM) on the project to achieve the following goals:
a) Deliver intelligent 3D models for building and infrastructure projects to be used throughout
the lifecycle of the Programme
b) Facilitate collaboration, design proofing, and constructability reviews
c) Ensure a coordinated design by clash avoidance to reduce errors in the field
d) Streamline planning, progress reporting, and cost control
e) Improve commercial and contract management
f) Enhance visualization for communication and decision-making
g) Support operation & maintenance with handover of reliable and accurate asset data
