Description:
BIM Execution Plans are seen by experienced BIM teams as a key to their success. This presentation will review the fundamental elements of a BxP. It will also show how owners and their teams who are new to BIM can learn best practices in forming their BxP. Additionally, key topics such as model elements Level of Development (LOD) in conjunction with the 2018 BIMForum’s LOD Specification will be addressed. The course will show the fundamentals of creating and implementing a BxP and will provide an overview of both best and worst practices. Key components of this presentation will address what owners and general contractors need to consider prior to BxP implementation, which elements should be included in the BxP, how to determine what reasonable expectations are within a BxP, and the current best practices in utilizing the advantages of BxPs in 2018. Finally, the presentation will include reference documents and other resources that all teams can utilize when considering BIM and BxP implementation on small-to-midsized projects.
