4. 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

5. 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

10. 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.
