Project Overview Identify BIM methods and implementation strategies organized by project phase Planning, Design, Construction, Operations Develop implementation guidelines and best practice methods Disseminate the results BIM Execution Planning Guide Interactive execution planning computer tool Presentations at national conferences e.g. buildingSMART, AIA, AGC BIMForum, etc. Articles in industry and academic publications

Progress Report Review of available literature and resources Develop interview questions to identify current and future uses of BIM from industry experts Conduct interviews to identify different uses of BIM Analyze the industry interviews through detailed content analysis. a) The result of this process is a list of the BIM uses along with preliminary information regarding the uses. Develop interview questions to investigate each BIM use Conduct interviews to gain further information about each BIM use. Compile BIM Use information pages from interview and lit review results Develop the BIM Execution Planning design process from process modeling concepts. Identify BIM Execution Plan content through an analysis of industry interviews

Execution Planning Process Concept: “Begin with the End in Mind” Operation Construction Design Planning D S E S D S E S D S E S D S E S First Pass = Use Operation Construction Design Planning D S E S D S E S D S E S D S E S Second Pass = Who creates it? What Platform?

Execution Planning Process BIM Use Identification Manual review of BIM uses Decision Support System to proceed from project characteristic to recommended BIM uses BIM Process Planning Develop a process specifically tailored to the project which includes tasks supported by BIM along with information exchanges between processes BIM Execution Plan Development Development of a detailed plan and procedure for each use and the information flow between the uses Project X BIM Execution Plan

Process Maps What is a process map? How would it help? Visual aid for organizing work processes. How would it help? Establish the logical sequence of the activities within a process; Identify the inputs, i.e., the enterprise information and the external information that support the activities within the process; Establish the BIM outputs and the information exchange between activities; and Identify the team participants or the agents responsible for a particular BIM task.

Process Map: Develop Assembly Cost Estimate
