Execution Planning Process Manual review of BIM uses Decision Support System to proceed from project characteristic to recommended BIM uses BIM Use Identification Documentation of BIM Uses to be performed along with the underlying goal for pursuing each defined use. BIM Use Definition Development of a detailed plan an procedure for each use and the information flow from between uses Performed through ‘ BIM Execution Plan Development Project X BIM Execution Plan

Execution Planning Categories Critical project overview information, contractual requirements related to BIM, and key project contacts Project Reference Information Include model elements by discipline, level of detail, and specific attributes BIM Scope Definitions Identification of the process for creating, reviewing and modifying the model. Include information exchange requirements. Model Development Process Define the roles of each organization along with responsibilities Define contracting strategies for organizations Organizational Roles and Responsibilities Electronic communication procedures Meeting communication procedures Communication Procedures Identify the methods to ensure model accuracy and comprehensiveness Model Quality Control Procedures
