Responsibility 8.2.1

It is the responsibility of all stakeholders to store and maintain a copy of all project information in a secure stable location within their own organisation. Stakeholders will make information available to the project team and University of Cambridge over the CDE in accordance with this document. University of Cambridge shall have access to native models to be issued within three working days of a Client Request for Information (RFI).

As a minimum, all BIM coordinators and the BIM Leader should be notified via the CDE when BIM data is distributed.

If any issues arise or if information has been uploaded incorrectly, stakeholders should inform the Information Manager for resolution. All documentation and design information, including models, drawings, associated data and RFIs will be shared via the CDE without exception. Email or alternative forms of electronic / physical transmission are not to be utilised unless required for contractual compliance.

User privileges 8.2.2

For security, user access and change privileges for workspace folders and information should be carefully considered and agreed with the Client, Information Manager and BIM Leader in collaboration before implementing the CDE. Any change to user privileges must be agreed by the Client or Client’s representative. Access privileges are detailed in Appendix E.

Structure / Purpose 8.2.3

All BIM information will be exchanged in the CDE using the folder structure as outlined in PAS1192-2:2013 – see Figure 2. To support security and accessibility of information, folder locations and upload purposes must be strictly adhered to.

Any amendments to the naming or structure of the CDE workspace must be explicitly agreed with the project team and University of Cambridge, including the Information Manager. For native and exchange formats please see the exchange schedule, Appendix F.

Figure 2: CDE collaboration process

Data exchange protocol 8.2.4

Methodology 8.2.4.1

Consultants will adhere to the following:

All data is to be exchanged via the CDE.

Model naming should be in accordance with University of Cambridge CAD Standards.

All significant, known errors with the model should be declared to recipients by the originating consultant.

All models are to be uploaded in their native format and also in the agreed file sharing format/s for use by others, refer to Appendix F.

Page 17: Building Information Modelling (BIM) Execution Plan · PDF fileBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) Execution Plan For University of Cambridge . BIM Execution Plan Insert Project Name

BIM Execution Plan Insert Project Name

All previous versions are to remain on the CDE.

Schedule 8.2.4.2

The use and responsibility, format and frequency of shared information should be understood by all project team members. It is crucial that this is agreed and recorded in the Information Exchange Schedule, Appendix F.

Trial 8.2.4.3

The Lead Designer will facilitate a trial of data exchange over the CDE, which includes the linking of project models. This process will help identify any unknown and unique issues with collaboratively exchanging information amongst the appointed consultants, thereby potentially mitigating errors and increasing efficiency of information exchange.

8.3 BIM workgroup meeting (BWM) and BIM workshops

The frequency of BIM workgroup meetings (BWM) and BIM workshops, as defined in Appendix G, should reflect the intensity and complexity of scheduled BIM processes, in alignment with the project programme. Scheduled BIM workgroup meetings will be included in the programme. Meetings are to be chaired and recorded by the BIM Leader unless otherwise agreed in advance. Where possible, to encourage shared information and optimise resourcing, meetings should coincide with design team or Client meetings.

9 Standard method and procedure

9.1 Model units of measurement

All models and associated design information will be produced and communicated using:

The metric system

RICS New Rules of Measurement 1 (NRM1) 2013

Models will be drawn at 1:1 (full size) in millimetres to ensure accuracy.

9.2 Coordinates system

A common building grid shall be established and used by all members of the design team. It is common practice to define a building origin at the bottom left-hand corner of the building using a datum marker. Due to certain software limitations with geospatial coordinates this point should be 0, 0, 0.

A datum marker of a 1m x 1m x 1m box set centrally at the geospatial coordinates point of 0, 0, 0 which allows position, scale and rotation confirmation upon import of linked models, shall be used.

If accurate survey information is available it should be used as a basis to correctly define project coordinates. Gridlines should be obtained from survey data by the lead designer, and redistributed in native BIM format via the CDE for use by other project team members. This should include project datum, Northing’s and Easting’s. All team members are requested to adopt coordinate settings, project datums and grids from the lead designer’s information.

9.3 BIM Use Processes

The BIM Leader/Information Manager is to include and document the detailed processes for all BIM uses, as set out in Section 6.7 of the EIR.

9.4 Design authoring and model set up

To enable project team members to work individually, the following models are being created in parallel based on a common structure developed and agreed by the design team:

Author

Architectural model Insert Lead Design

Building services model Insert MEP Engineer

Structural model Insert Civil and Structural Engineer

Page 19: Building Information Modelling (BIM) Execution Plan · PDF fileBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) Execution Plan For University of Cambridge . BIM Execution Plan Insert Project Name

BIM Execution Plan Insert Project Name

Site management model Insert Contractor

Landscape model Insert Landscape Architect

Table 5: Models

The model segregation strategy for each design discipline is to be agreed with the Lead Designer and BIM Leader, and recorded in the next revision of this document.

9.5 Area and quantity calculation

Refer to Section 4.13 of EIR.

9.6 Model authoring best practice

Refer to Section 4.14 of EIR.

9.7 Model validation protocols

All internal model validation protocols should be issued to the Lead Designer for review following appointment.

BIM coordinators and stakeholders responsible for producing BIM information should adhere to the following:

Validation procedures defined in this BEP should be undertaken in accordance with Appendix H. Completion of this task should be recorded via the CDE through a short report, issued when uploading models to the Shared folder

A model segregation plan should be agreed with the BIM Leader. Segregation protocols and wayfinding should be recorded in the next iteration of the BEP.

Before sharing models they should be purged of any obsolescent objects or CAD imports

Models should be closed in plan view or disclaimer view if available to avoid additional time opening the document

Rogue, random or misplaced objects shall be corrected or omitted

Naming of the project file should be checked and approved before uploading to the CDE

All dependant, parent or central files shall be disassociated prior to upload providing access to model processors

10 Project close out

Obtaining feedback and sharing lessons learned is an essential part of the project which enables continuous improvement.

The project shall be reviewed in terms of the project success criteria and key objectives and performance indicators, at each of the project stages identifying both the successful and less successful aspects of the process.

10.1 BIM handover

Asset information should be delivered in the COBie UK 2012 format, as prescribed in the data drop detail and in accordance with requirements to be developed for the Asset Information Model through further engagement with the Facilities Manager. This information should reflect the data structure defined for the project (see Appendix A and Appendix B of the EIR), which is to be developed further through engagement with the facilities management team.

Elements of the Soft Landings approach are being considered by University of Cambridge. If required, these are to be incorporated into this document and agreed by the project team.
